Yep, poles+12 and pully ratio is at least close. So I dont know if the reported engine RPM of 55 is just another random output or a miscalculation due to my set up. I did verify that engine RPM ...

Is engine RPM as reported in AST equal to actual RPM or in 10\'s? I finally have Tach working but the readout is 55 for my engine at idle. 550 would be closer, actual RPM was 625. I have the cor...
Yep. The config guide is a little confusing... at the header of the SCT instructions, it says no changes need to be made for the WS500 to operate normally. But if you want PBF to work, it appears F...
Hi Peter, My stator wire is connected, but I am not reading engine RPM. I have not \"ignored\" the sensor. Under the SCT command: ForceTM: <0, or 1> Setting the value to 1 will enable T...
thanks. PBF is set to 1 and WS500 does not read engine RPM. So if PBF needs tach data, then this could well be the smoking gun What was odd was, the system has worked well for a month of crui...
Good morning! I am using a customized version of #7. The exit amps settings in #7 dont work for me. Anyway, I do believe some parameter is limiting Field to 31%. Not temps. I am using a PBF of 1...
Thanks, Firefly bats so no BMS. Dual engine. Controlling WS500 flashing Green Acceptance, slave WS500 orange flashing.
Hi, Batteries were at 50% leaving the anchorage but max output from dual big alternators was 95A. Regulators started in bulk then later to accept but output low and V around 27V. V slowly climbe...
Thanks Ben, I am pretty close to those settings; CPA I am using 420 minutes and 3A for exit A CPO and CPP all zeros CPF close with 13.5V Will test all this soon One more question: wh...
As to Max A in Float, 5 A is the default in the tool.
Looks like there is an added field in CPB to set max V with 2.5 but it isnt adjustable in the config tool, or at least I cant find it.
can only study exactly what goes wrong, when you post a full log, and point to the exact time where something goes wrong. Ok. Will do next time. I used excerpts to reduce the pages ...
Just finished a long run down the coast. Issue I am having is WS500 sometimes transitions to correct target FloatV with steady Field% and at other times tries to hold a lower V, with constantly var...
100% SOC progress With latest config was able to see ACC to Float at 5A. Very close to target. If Ben is out there, I attached an excerpt of the log. Thanks for the suggestion of running the tes...
Yep, I probably asked the MS tech the wrong question. The MS CAN bus output is digital but I could have wired directly. Just checked the current measured by the WS and it agrees with the MS shunt. ...
would have been sweet to use the same shunt but the MS shunt converts to a digital message and no way to get at the shunt itself. Thanks
Thanks, I am reading tail current from Mastervolt closed loop network on the Mastervolt remote display so I am assuming the battery current I am reading is correct, although I have never measure...
Thanks Ben, Bat Cap Multiplier. Lots of places in the WS manuals where it says system is designed around a normalized 12v system. I was over-applying that logic and assuming the A were normali...
Ben, Much appreciate the detailed response. Here is where I am: just updated firmware to latest rev I will deactivate Overcharge altogether. I had to read up on Finish Charge to understand....
If my set-up had been one and done, the USB would be fine. But I am still fussing and have had the covers (twin engine) off about ten times in the past week. And logging data is a challenge. An ext...
thanks, I should have rephrased all that about the alternators. My guess is, they are putting in as much as the batteries will accept. About the same current as when I engage my 3X chargers. (300A)...
Thanks Al, I will upgrade the sw today.
I have the same question and I cant see anywhere in the manual that discusses the twin engine/twin shunt issue. No idea what \"Alternator centric\" might mean. In my case, twin large case altern...
Jon, I have a similar issue: system drops to Float early. I dont think I am pulling amps down at the time. No luck getting any response from Wakespeed. ANy luck at your end?
No matter how I adjust the various settings in my custom profile I cannot keep my alternators at Acceptance level voltage long enough. The WS500s drop to Float at about 96% and 20A in. With my Fire...
It would be helpful if I could call up and export my custom profile settings in readable text. I am having some issues in setting up my system and i would like to have my settings reviewed by an ex...
