4.  exit VBat – Represents the minimum amperage allowed before regulator advances from 

acceptance to over-charge. Range is floating point numbers 0.0 

20.0. Setting Exit V 

Bat at zero will disable over-charge mode. 

5.  exit amps – Ranging in whole numbers from 0 

50, this value will keep the regulator 

in over-charge until acceptance current falls to or below the set value. A zero setting will 

disable this option.

The fourth line of code, designated as $CPF, updates the parameters of the Float 

portion of the charge profile. Meanings for the values are as follows (note that values 

are deliniated by commas): 

The fifth line of code, designated as $CPE, updates the parameters of the Float 

portion of the charge profile. Meanings for the values are as follows (note that values 

are deliniated by commas): 

$CPF: 

7,13.3,-1, 0, 0, -50, 12.5, 0@

$CPE: 

7,15.5,25, 600, 0@

1.  charge Profile table entry – Identifies the Profile number being modified by the new 

configuration. Select 7 or 8.

2.  VBat set Point – Floating point value (0.0 

 20.0) for target float voltage in a normal-

ized 12V system.

3.  limit amps – After entering float, the delivered amps will be monitored and regulate to 

the value set. Range is 0 

50. Zero setting will disable over-charge mode.

4.  exit duration – Whole number (0 

 30000) controls timer duration once float stage 

is started. A “0” will cause the regulator to remain in float until triggered by other exit 

criteria.

5.  revert amps – Whole number (-300 

 0). Value of negative current, indicating large 

system load, will cause regulator to revert to restart charge cycle. “0” will disable fea-

ture. 

6.  revert amps-hours – Whole number (-250 

 0). Indicates accumulated number of amp 

hours removed from the battery to restart charge cycle. “0” will disable this feature. 

7.  revert Volts – Floating point value (0.0 

 20.0) establishes low voltage in float which 

will cause regulator to revert to restart charge cycle. “0” will disable this feature.

8.  revert soc – Whole number (0 

 100). Will restart charge cycle from float if BMS or 

other RBM indicates drop below battery SOC level. “0” will disable this feature.

1.  charge Profile table entry – Identifies the Profile number being modified by the new 

configuration. Select 7 or 8.

2.  VBat set Point – Floating point value (0.0 

 20.0) for target equalization voltage in a 

normalized 12V system.

3.  maxs amps – Whole number (0 

 50). Caps the allowable amps in equalization mode. 

“0” will disable this feature.
