Calibrate

The Calibrate menu allows adjustment of the charge controller’s battery voltmeter. If a

particular controller’s readings do not match those of another device, or a hand-held meter, the

calibration feature may improve consistency.

Figure 76 Calibrate

NOTE: Calibration does not change the actual voltage of the charge controller, only the

reading of that voltage.

Also, measurements in places other than the charge controller’s terminals may differ regardless

of calibration. For example, it is possible to get a different reading at the charge controller’s DC

terminals than on the batteries. Connection problems, corrosion, and the effects of induction

and resistance may all result in voltage differences. If this occurs, note that this is an issue with

the system, not the charge controller. Calibration cannot correct for it.

Reset Charge Controller to Factory Defaults

This menu allows the user to erase all settings from the selected charge controller and start

over with the values programmed at the factory. These values are listed on page 96.
