First I would like to thank everyone for the help I got in setting up my system, It is working great.

Here is a little about my batteries,
(2) 8L-16 Deka 6V 370 ah, Group 16, Normal volts 6 ea. 12 volts, Capacity at c/100 420 Ah, Bulk charge stage 30% of C20 1.75 vpc Max Time (Hr)= Ahr x 1.2 / Avg. Current (A)-voltage limit equal to "Absorption(Regulation) Stage" limits, Absorption stage 2.40 -2.45 vpc Charge until change in current<0.10A per Hr / Max Time 12 Hr, Float 2.30-2.35vpc No time Limit.

So, How would I set the following?
P1- 14.10, P2-8, P3-420, P3 Through P6 my choice, P7-L3, P10-95, P11-Sh.H 500A, P12-On, P13-10.5 P14-0.5, P15 Though P18 Not in use at this time.

Are the settings that I have set up right or do I need to change any. I would like some input so I don't destroy my batteries.
Thank you for the help.

    The important settings are the charging parameters of your two chargers (morningstar & xantrex). The trimetric doesn't have any control of the charging process.

    So, As long as my Dip switches are set right on my TriStar I should be good with it. On my Xantrex with xanbus (SCP) I have been getting a DC over current fault when my solar charge has a full charge on my batteries. I must have a wrong setting on my xanbus then. I will have to check it out.
    Thank you vtmaps.

    Trust (your TriStar), but verify. You can use your trimetric to "audit" what the other electronics are doing. That's one of the things I like about the trimetric... it can't do anything to your system... it just lets you know what everything else is doing.

    Do you mean over "current" fault or over "voltage" fault?
