F11 Battery temperature. In this Function the average battery temperature can be adjusted. The value AU enables the automatic temperature measurement provided that an external temperature sensor is connected to the Xantrex Battery Monitor. Also the temperature readout in normal mode is enabled. When AU is selected and the connection with the temperature sensor is lost, four dashes (- - - -) are displayed and the internal temperature compensation calculations are made using the default 20 °C value. This Function can only be set in °C. Use the following formulas to convert °C to °F : T(°F) = (T(°C) x 1.8) + 32 and T(°C) = (T(°F) – 32) / 1.8.

F13 Time-to-go averaging period. Specifies the time window in minutes the moving averaging filter works with. Selecting the right time depends on your installation. A value of 0 disables the filter and gives you instantaneous (real-time) readout; however, the displayed values may fluctuate heavily. Selecting the highest time (12 minutes) ensures that long term load fluctuations are included in the time-to-go calculations.
