4.2.5 Events – System automation
A CZone/MasterBus device can be programmed to initiate an action at another connected device. This is
very helpful in automation of your system but is not required. In MasterBus this is done by means of event
based commands. In the Events tab you can program the ChargeMaster Plus to act as an event source.
Events which occur during the operation of the ChargeMaster Plus will then trigger actions from other
products. The following tables list the parameters as shown in MasterAdjust.
Select an event that triggers an action, for example
Battery pre low.
Select the device that should act, for example the
generator
Selectable targets are
system dependent
Select the parameter that must be changed on the
target device, for example Activate.
See command list of the
selected device
Data, for example On, is linked to the command.
Off, On, Copy, Copy Invert,

4.2.6 Current control
If the available power at the AC input is limited. The ChargeMaster can be configured to reduce input
current. The Current Control level should be set equal to or lower than the value of the external circuit
breaker, which protects the incoming AC power. For example, when the external AC power is limited by
a 6A fuse, the Current Control level should be set to ≤6A. The AC input current of the ChargeMaster Plus
will be reduced to 6A.
How to set the DC input current in a MasterBus network
1. Open MasterAdjust.
2. Select the ChargeMaster Plus.
3. Go to the Monitoring tab.
4. In the Input Current field, enter the required value.
