November 2004 / Masterlink MICC / EN 23
8 INSTALL LEVEL
This menu is used to set the Masterlink MICC
according to the voltage and capacity of the
batteries installed.
To enter the install level press
the Select button for 5 seconds
until the Select LED is flashing.
Next press the Ah-Time button
to enter the installer menu.
With the Select button you can
scroll through the levels of this
menu.
For more information see also the set-
up drawing (figure 8). The numbers of
the mentioned levels below correspond
with this drawing.
Note: If the Select button is held for
five seconds, the arrow in the right part
of the display will change. If the arrow is
pointing downwards (È) the set value
can be decreased by means of the Set-
up button. If the arrow is pointing
upwards (Ç) the set value can be
increased.
Setting the battery capacity (A01)
The first level is used for setting the battery
capacity. For an accurate reading of the time
remaining function, and the capacity consumed
in % of the installed capacity, this level must be
set according the capacity of the battery
installed. The set value is the capacity of the
battery with a 20 hour rating (C 20). If traction
batteries are installed with a different rating
such as C 10 or C 8, ask your battery supplier
what the capacity of the battery will be if the
battery is discharged according the 20-hour
rating and set the MICC according this value.
For 12-volt systems the capacities of all the
installed batteries of the main battery bank can
be added. If a 24-volt battery system will be
used all the capacities of the main battery bank
are added and divided by two.
Example: a main battery bank with two batteries
installed of 12-volt 100 Ah each.
For a 12-volt system the battery capacity must
be set at 200 Ah. For a 24-volt system the
battery capacity must be set at 100 Ah.
The auxiliary (starter) battery capacity does not
need to be set.
Please note that the capacity of the
battery only can be set if the batteries
are 100 % charged. The time remaining
function and the Ah consumed are reset
if the battery capacity settings are
changed.
Average time for the time remaining function
(A02).
With the second level it is possible to set the
average time for the time remaining function.
If this set point is set to 0 it means that the time
remaining is instantaneous and will give direct
information about how long the batteries can be
used in accordance with the load connected.
A more accurate and easier way to use value is
shown if the average reading is set to 10, 20 or
30 minutes. If this level is entered, the value can
be set by means of the Set-up button. The
factory default for this level is 10 minutes.
