modifying the configuration Program
While the downloaded .ZIP file is designed to fit a broad range of applications, there
may be certain values that the installer or user may want to modify. The following
instructions are intended to provide guidelines for some of the more commonly
changed values, additional information is provided in the communication and
Programming guide that’s available at www.wakespeed.com/technical.html.
In most instances, the installer/user will consider adjusting four main values in the
configuration code:
• the alternator temperature set point
• the duration of the warm up delay
• the percentage of alternator de-rate
• the actual capacity of the batteries being
charged.
accessing the
configuration file
Within the .ZIP file is the folder containing the
data and Wakespeed File Transfer Utility required
to update the regulator’s firmware and charging
profiles. Within the folder is a .txt file which
contains the ASCII strings required to control the
regulator’s behavior.
The .txt. can be opened with a standard text
editing application . To access the text file:
1. Open the folder extracted from the .Zip
file downloaded from the Wakespeed
Configuration table at www.wakespeed.com/
technical.html.
2. Using your preferred text editing or terminal
console, open the file in the folder with the .txt
suffix.
