DATA MODE

DATA: The DATA mode is used to recall key historical information about the battery (battery banks).

To access the DATA mode:

1)Select Battery #1 or #2 to review its data.

2)Press and hold the SETUP button until the green LED begins to flash then release the button.

3)Now press the (blue) DATA button. Each time you press the DATA button a new piece of data is displayed. You may also hold the button down to scroll through the following data:

CEF (Displayed as EXX): The Charging Efficiency Factor (CEF) is displayed. A display of E99 indicates a 99% CEF. This number sets the rate at which amp hours are counted back up during charging. This is an amp-hour CEF, not kWh efficiency. The Default setting is 87% for Type 0 (Liquid) batteries, 90% for Types 1 & 2 (Gelled) and Type 3 AGM batteries. NOTE: If the CEF display has a "u" in front of it, this means the CEF has been selected by the user. See Function F06 for details. The CEF of a battery typically remains fairlyconstantuntilendoflife.AsuddendropintheCEFindicatestimetoequalize,abattery failing, or a charging problem.

#CEF Recalculations (Displayed as +I999): This is the number of times that the battery has been discharged more than 10% and then recharged until the Charged Parameters have been met. May be considered as the number of charge/discharge cycles the meter has recorded since its last RESET to factory defaults. This is useful to evaluate the cycling performance of your battery system.

Deepest Discharge (Displayed as -i999):Shows the deepest discharge in amp hours recorded by the meter since its last RESET to factory defaults. Very deep discharges indicate battery abuse.

Average Discharge (Displayed as i999): The running average of all discharges as an amp-hour value since last RESET to factory defaults. The average discharge level should normally be no more than about 50% of declared capacity.
