F14 Current threshold. When the measured current falls below this value it will be considered as zero amps. With this function it is possible to cancel out very small currents which can negatively affect long-term state-of- charge readout in noisy environments. For example if an actual long-term current is +0.05 A and due to injected noise or small offsets the battery monitor measures –0.05 A, in the long term the Xantrex Battery Monitor can wrongly indicate that the battery needs recharging. In this case set Function 14 to 0.1. The Xantrex Battery Monitor calculates with 0.0 A so that no wrong assumptions can be made. A setting of 0.0 disables this Function.

F16 Voltage prescaler. This Function is only important when an optional prescaler is installed on the battery voltage sense input of the Xantrex Battery Monitor. The voltage charged parameter, under-voltage and over-voltage alarm settings are linked with this Function. Don’t change this value when you are not using a prescaler!
