Re: [RE-wrenches] Mate3s error vs. event log

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

2 things.  Maybe you can sell them a service contract and clear/check the events 1x week via optics.  I don’t know if there is a way to prioritize events.  To me Ive always had good success with the fndc in regards to be pretty accurate for reading %. Getting rid of it seems the wrong way to go.  And Lones is happily retired from OB.  Jay On Apr 3, 2024, at 11:03 AM, Nick A Lucchese via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: Greetings Kirk, It is my understanding that the “charged parms met” comes from the FNDC since that is the component measuring the current and going by those guidelines in the “Battery Setup” menu assigned to the FNDC port. This would seem like a reasonable test and could be done remotely through Opticsre without requiring a trip to the site as well. Perhaps Lones can comment on this strategy? Sometimes the smallest insignificant details can trigger a client regardless of how well we did with the rest of the system. I feel for you!

I do have a flexnet in this system. The event log states the originating port to be "M", as from the Mate3s itself.

Perhaps defeat some of the settings that will satisfy the targets of the Flexnet? Maybe set the “charged voltage” to something a few volts higher than your absorption set point and/or take the timer all the way up to 240 minutes? It’s definitely frustrating that some clients are scared to press any buttons on the Mate, even that Events button can intimidate apparently!

When it does, the event log LED on the 3s starts blinking. My customer thinks it's an error, and calls me. I Wish I could somehow defeat this event, and any non-error, from blinking the event LED for everyone's sanity. Charged parms met is not an error, but it's crying fire in a theater to have this annoyance occurring. It happens several times a week. Is there any way to keep non-errors from flashing the LED? OB tech support is starting to have long lead times, so I am asking here first.
