4.11.2.1 Calibrating the temperature
When the calibration value is entered, the Flatpack MCU will use this value together with the factory calibrated value at
0
°
C to calculate the temperature characteristic of the sensor.
Calibration:
It is recommended that this calibration is performed at temperatures above 15
°
C.
•
Measure the temperature as close to the temperature sensor as possible.
•
Enter the measured value (a figure between 15
8
C and 60
8
C) in
“Temp Calibration Point”
.
•
Select
Accept
to initiate calibration.
4.11.2.2 Calibrating the rectifier current
The rectifier current is always defined as positive (+). It is difficult to calibrate the rectifier current while charging the
batteries, since the current is not constant. During calibration, the batteries should be at their maximum capacity or (if
possible) disconnected. The calibration value should be more than 30 % of the system’s maximum capacity.
