Stus-List Danfoss Compressor Controller

Edd OK, I located the info. The deal is that it's not so much the manufacturer, but the compressor. These Nova Kools have a Danfoss. These 4-pin controllers work with them. It got the lead from the folks at Sure Marine. They could not help due to the age of our units. But they did some r

Re: Stus-List Balmar alternator

Many 3 stage regulators switch bulk to float on a timer. Also note a 600 AH bank that is 50% empty will easily need to run at bulk for 3 hours or more – perhaps a lot more. Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun.

Re: Stus-List Balmar alternator

I am not an expert on batteries and charging, but the set-up should be based on voltage, not time. Most external regulators allow that (as far as I know). And it should be compensated for temperature (of the batteries and the alternator). Again, I would refer to Maine Sail’s writing (either at h

Denis, If you keep the GPS without the batteries, it would take longer to get the first fix. Since the 76 is a fairly old device (I have a 76s for 12 years; if I remember, it has only 24 MB of memory!) that first fix can take 15 minutes. There is always a compromise. Marek From: CnC-List [ma
