SET TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
DEFAULT = 0.5 RANGE = 0.1 - 1.5 STEP = 0.1
This factor compensates for capacity change with temperature. Typical value 0.5%
Capacity/
0
C. This coefficient must be supplied by the battery manufacturer. The default
value is typical for lead acid liquid or gelled batteries. Normally this value is not changed.
F08 - SET PEUKERT'S EXPONENT
DEFAULT = 1.25* RANGE = 1.0 - 1.50 STEP = 0.01
Sets the exponent for Peukert’s equation. A setting of 1.0 defeats Peukert's
calculation. Properly setting Peukert's exponent insures an accurate display of time
remaining. See Page 29 for a discussion of Peukert's equation and typical values for various
batteries. * Default for liquid electrolyte batteries (F10 set to Type 0). When F10 is set to
gelled or AGM batteries (F10 set to Type 1, 2 or 3), a default exponent of 1.11 is used.
F09 - LOW BATTERY DISCHARGE FLOOR
DEFAULT =100% RANGE: 50% - 100% STEP: 5%
Your
Link 1000
allows you to declare the discharge floor used for meter calculations.
As supplied by the factory, the discharge floor is 100% of Amp-hour capacity, cor-
rected for high discharge rates. If you set the discharge floor to 100%, the TIME
remaining display essentially reports TIME to "dead battery". The factory default
discharge floor is 100%, essentially the TIME "till the battery is 100% discharged.
Charging should begin when two yellow battery status lights are on in order to conform
to our "Mid Capacity Rule".
CAUTIONS: If you discharge below the discharge floor, partially charge, but remain
below the discharge floor, the TIME remaining display will continue to read zero. The
TIME display will not show meaningful readings until you have recharged above the
discharge floor you have set. Also, remember that the light bar and TIME remaining
displays are run on rate compensated (Peukert equation corrected) Amp-hours.

MANUALLY SET CEF (Not Recommended)
DEFAULT OFF = AUTO RECALCULATION OF CEF
DISPLAY = A95
RANGE = 65-99 STEP = 1
Allows manual set up of CEF (Charge Efficiency Factor). Default display A95
indicates automatic CEF recalculation feature. Returning to A95 from a user delcared CEF
turns the automatic CEF feature back on. If a user set up CEF has been selected it will appear
as a Uxx in the DATA mode.
