VI. Regulator Display Modes
A. Basic Display
The regulator's three digit alphanumeric LED display provides a scrolling view of charging sta-
tus. Under normal operation, the display will indicate the following:
• bal
-- Indicates Balmar.
• 612
-- Indicates Max Charge MC-624-LN.
• P01
-- Indicates battery program is set for Universal Factory Mode.
• UFP
-- Verifies program set for AGM batteries.
• S0
-- (S) Indicates stage of charge. See chart and descriptions on previous page.
• Bu
-- Indicates "real time" battery system voltage. Followed by actual voltage reading.
• cu
-- Indicates Calculated voltage (target voltage based on preset program levels).
Followed by actual voltage reading.
B. Long Display
In addition to the regulator's short display, a longer, more in-depth display is avail-
able when the magnetic reed switch located next to the LED display is activated with
a short touch of the magnetic programming screwdriver as shown at upper right.
When activating the reed switch, place the magnetic tip of the screwdriver against the
epoxy potting at one or the other end of the reed switch located on the circuit board
in the upper left corner of the regulator.
In the long display, the LED will indicate the codes described on the previous page.
In addition to the information provided in the short display, the display will indicate
the following:
• R1.8
-- Indicates software revision number. As of publication, the software version is
Revision #1.8. The revision number may vary based on actual installation date.
• B1
-- Indicates ambient temperature at battery bank. Actual temperature is shown in
Celsius, following the B1 code on the display.
• slp
-- Voltage Compensation Slope. Indicates, in milliamps, the resistance value the
regulator uses to control compensated charging voltage based on battery temperature.
• Al1
-- Indicates ambient temperature at #1 alternator. Temperature reading is shown
in Celsius, following the AL1 code on the display.
• Al2
-- Indicates ambient temperature at #2 alternator. Temperature reading is shown
in Celsius, following the AL2 code on the display.
• ap
-- Indicates maximum field percentage as controlled by the Amp Manager feature
in the Advanced Programming mode. 100 indicates Amp Manager is OFF. 50 indicates
Amp Manager at 50%.
• fe
-- Indicates percentage of regulator field output. 100 indicates regulator is driving
alternator at full output. 50 indicates that the regulator is driving the alternator at
approximately 50% output.
• Hr
-- Indicates total regulator hours. Will be followed by display in tens of hours and an
additional display indicating 10ths of hours.
• Fba
-- Indicates field threshold for bulk and absorption modes. Field threshold signi-
fies the minimum field percentage required by the regulator to maintain the current
state of charge. When field voltage drops below the field threshold in calculated bulk or
absorption stages, the regulator advances to the next charging stage. Factory set thresh-
old for calculated bulk and calculated absorption is 77%.
• Ffl
-- Indicates field threshold for the calculated float stage. If field voltage surpasses
the maximum threshold value for calculated float percentage, the regulator will increase
target voltage to absorption level. Factory set threshold for maximum calculated float is
77%.
• E--
-- (Followed by a numeric designation) indicates a specific advisory code pertaining
to the regulator's operation. See chart at right for details.
