Regulator Display Modes - Short Display/Long Display
The regulator’s three digit alphanumeric LED display provides a scrolling view of charging status. Under normal operation,
the display will indicate the following:
Indicates Balmar.
Indicates Model MC-624
Indicates regulator’s default Universal Factory Program. Display will vary based on program selected.
Indicates stage of charge; S01=Delay, S02=Ramp, S03=Bulk, S04=Calc. Bulk, S05=Absorption, S06=Calc.
Absorption, S07=Float
Indicates system Battery Voltage. Followed by actual voltage reading as measured by regulator.
Indicates Calculated voltage (target voltage based on preset program levels). Followed by voltage reading.
In addition to the information provided in the basic display shown above, the MC-624 long display provides the following
data. The long display can be accessed at any time during operation by tapping the RED dot with your magnet.
Indicates regulator’s software revision code.
Indicates Battery #1 temperature. Followed by temperature in celsius. Default is 26°C if no sensor connected.
Indicates Battery #2 temperature. Followed by temperature in celsius. Default is 26°C if no sensor connected.
Indicates Alternator temperature. Followed by temperature in celsius. Default is 26°C if no sensor connected.
Indicates the level of Amp Manager governance applied to alternator. 100 indicates Amp Manager is off.
Indicates eld excitation output. 100 equals full eld output (indicates approximate percentage).
Indicates hours of operation. Followed by readout in hundreds of hours, followed by hours/tenths of hours.
Indicates eld threshold from bulk to absorption. Factory set at 77%. Adjust in advanced programming mode.
Indicates eld threshold from oat to absorption. Factory set at 77%. Adjust in advanced programming mode.
Indicates system advisory codes. Individually numbered codes are dened below.
The following advisory codes can be used to determine possible system errors or to identify specic operational modes.
Note that E codes are cumulative and will be held in memory until cleared. Codes can be cleared by entering dSP and
letting it save. Display settings DO NOT need to be changed. See basic programming for more info.
