F07 -
SET TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
DEFAULT = 0.5 RANGE = 0.1 - 0.9 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 = 1.00 - 1.50 STEP = 0.01
Sets the exponent for Peukert’s equation. A setting of 1.00 defeats Peukert's
calculation. See Page 24-27 for a discussion of Peukert's equation and typical values for
various batteries. Properly setting Peukert's exponent insures an accurate display of time
remaining.
F09 - A HR OR % REMAING MODE
DEFAULT OFF = AHR DISPLAY MODE
ON = PERCENT REMAINING MODE
Changes the A hrs function to % Remaining mode, which displays the selected
battery's state-of-charge as a percentage of the declared capacity. A full battery is displayed
as Pi00 and a 50% charged battery is displayed as P050. When in this mode the battery
capacity must be accurately set up and the average discharge rate should not exceed the
batteries' 20 hour discharge rate. You may de-rate capacity if you have tested at higher
discharge rates. This option is not available when F04 or F05 is ON.
F10 - ALTERNATOR CURRENT LIMIT
DEFAULT = 100 RANGE = 30 - 230 AMPS STEP = 10 AMPS
This function is only used with the Link 2000-R (Alternator Regulator Model). It
sets a safety current limit for the alternator. This limits the maximum amount of current that
the alternator can ever deliver.
F11 - BATTERY #2 USED FOR CONTROL
DEFAULT ON = BATTERY #2 USED FOR CONTROL
OFF = BATTERY #2 IS NOT USED FOR CONTROL.
This function is used to defeat Battery #2 as a part of the charger control function of
the Link 2000. This is necessary for systems that have both 12V and 24V batteries. Battery
#1 must be the battery that is used by the Freedom inverter (or charged by the alternator
when controlled by the Link 2000R). You may also wish to use this function if the main
house battery is substantially larger than a separate engine battery that is also monitored by
the Link 2000. This will prevent the Link 2000 from making a premature transition to float
based on the smaller engine battery meeting the charged parameters substantially before the
house battery.
NOTE: This function is not changed in a reset to factory default values. If you
wish to change this function you must use the set up routine to change it.
