7.0 SET menu
The set menu contains most of
the settings which control the
operation of the controller.
7.1 TIME
This screen displays the time on
the controller’s clock. A 24hr
format is used for system time,
with a resolution of 6 minutes (0.1
hours) So, for example, 14.3 is
2:18 PM.

NOTE: Removing power to the regulator (i.e. turning
it off) will reset the system time to 10.0hrs (10:00
AM).
The time must be set whenever the regulator
is restarted. Incorrect system time will result
in misleading history data since this is stored at
midnight of each day. Generator quiet-time and
time-driven event control will also be affected.
7.2 VOLT
Set VOLT to the nominal system voltage for the
installation.
This setting determines the regulation and
control voltage set-points for the system. For
correct regulation, this setting MUST be correct.
NOTE: The controller
will not
be damaged if
the voltage is set incorrectly but the battery will
probably be damaged (under- or overcharge) if
this setting is in error for more than a few days.
7.3 PROG (Adjusting Regulation
Settings)
The Dingo comes with a number of preconfigured
programs, which are set up for generic batteries.
For custom installations, selecting program 4
allows the user to adjust each setting individually.
If you find you are unable to change your settings, it
may be because the “lockout” setting is activated.
This setting is designed to prevent unwanted
tampering— please see the “Setting Lockout”
information in section 6.5.
