6.3.4 Configuration
The configuration can be done in MasterAdjust. When the Alpha Pro charge regulator is connected, open
MasterAdjust on a Windows computer, connected to the MasterBus network via a Mastervolt USB Interface.
MasterAdjust software is available as free to download software on the Mastervolt website: www.mastervolt.com.
Note: To be able to change the configuration of the Alpha Pro charge regulator, the configuration must be unlocked.
This is done by pressing the "Unlock setup" button in the "Configuration" tab in MasterAdjust. When the
configuration is unlocked, the regulator will stop regulating and its LEDs will blink twice, one after the other.
When the configuration is finished, press the "Lock setup" button and the regulator starts regulating again.
