Automatic: MasterBus power will be switched off when the main current is in between 1.0A and -
1.0A for more than 24 hours and the battery voltage has dropped below the float voltage.
-
Always on: the MLI Ultra will always power the MasterBus network. Note that this will slowly
drain the battery.

Configuration in a CZone network
Either do the configuration while connected to the network or use a prepared configuration file (.zcf).
Ensure that a Dipswitch is assigned.
For detailed information on the configuration, please refer to the CZone
®
Configuration Tool
Instruction manual, and section Configuration in a MasterBus network on page 14, which describes
the parameters as shown in MasterAdjust.
Precondition:
This section assumes that a CZone system is already configured and the CZone
Configuration Tool is open.
1. In the CZone Configuration Tool, from the Modules tab, click the
Add
button.
2. Enter an understandable
Module Name
.
3. From the

7.
NMEA2000 Instances
are used to differentiate between multiple monitoring sources.
8. To optimize the battery cycle life, the
Depth of Discharge Remaining
(DoD) is set to 80%.
CAUTION!
Changing the DoD to 100% will decrease the cycle life.
9. Tick
Show Battery Temperature
to enable temperature monitoring.
10. Click
OK
to return to the Module Modification window and then click the

Battery safety
switch that pauses the charging process of an
alternator.
Note:
This must be done for all MLI Ultra units and for all charging devices.
