Each line of the .txt file provides commands and values specific to various aspects
of the charge program. The first line of code, designated as $SCA, changes the
parameters of the alternator in the table of system configurations. Meanings for the
values are as follows (note that values are deliniated by commas):

1. factory use only
2. alternator target temperature (°c) – Temperature regulator will attempt to maintain at
alternator temperature sensor. Contact your alternator manufacturer for recommended
temperature setting and sensor location. For added system safety, consider setting your
value 10-20 degrees below the manufacturer’s recommendation.
3. alternator derate (normal) – When no derate modes are selected.
4. alternator derate (small alternator mode) – When DIP Switch #8 is selected.
5. alternator derate (half output) – Selected when alternator temperature sensor wires
are shorted.
6. Pull Back factor (PBf) – Reduces field at idle (Set “0” to disable) (Set “1” to enable).
7. amp cap – (-1
500) Allows maximum amperage limit if current shunt is connected.
8. system watts cap – (-1
20000) Limits maximum wattage.
9. amp shunt ratio – Indicates the current shunt’s ratio (Amps/mVolts) Default setting is
for a 500A/50mV shunt (500/0.050=10000)
