$SCN updates the name and password of the regulator. In CANbus communication,
the regulator name acts as an identifier of the regulator within the CAN network.
Meanings for the values are as follows (note that values are deliniated by commas):
$SCO overrides the DIP switches for Charge Profile and Battery Capacity settings,
and allows the auto-detect for system voltage to be overridden. Values are as follows:
$CPB:

1. reserved – Set at “0”.
2. regulator name – Up to 18 characters with no spaces, commas, or “@”. This name is
used for a CAN ID, and may be used to individual regulators in twin engine or other multi-
alternator applications.
3. regulator Password – Up to 18 characters with no spaces, commas, or “@”.
1. charge Profile index – Whole number (0
8). Determines charge profile used. Zero
setting allows DIP switches to be used for charge profile selection.
2. Battery capacity multiplier index – Floating point number (0.0
±10.0) sets the mul-
tiplier for a normalized 500AH battery bank. Multiplier can be termined by dividing actual
battery capacity by the normalized value. As an example, if the battery capacity is 750
amp hours, the BC Index should be set at 1.5.
5. maximum charge temperature – Whole number (20
95). Charging will be discon-
tinued when measured battery temperature exceeds value chosen. Measured in °C.
6. rdc Volts – Floating point value (0.0
12.0) regulator will work in Reduced Charge
mode where maximum current delivered will be limited to RDC amps. “0.0” will disable
this feature.
7. rdc low temperature – Whole number (-99
20). If battery temperature drops
below the set value in °C, the regulator will work in Reduced Charge mode. “-99” will
disable this feature.
8. rdc high temperature – Whole number (-99
95). If battery temperature exceeds
the set value in °C, the regulator will work in Reduced Charge mode. “-99” will disable
this feature.
9. rdc amps – Whole number (0
100). When the regulator is in Reduced Charge
mode, acceptance currrent will be limited to the set number. “0” will disable this fea-
ture.
10. maximum Battery amps – Whole number (0
2000). Maximum current allowed to
flow into the battery. This value is set relative to the 12v/500A ‘nominal’ battery and it
is also adjusted by the Battery Capacity Multiplier; so a value of 250 would cause the
regulator to limit charging current to a 0.5c rate. “0” will disable this feature.
