MONITOR SET UP
Normally the only Monitor set up that must be changed is BATT CAP. Please read
the section on selecting charged parameters (page 21-22) before changing CHARGED V
or CHARGED %.
Setting the following parameters only affects the operation of the monitor, mean-
ing that changing the Charged V parameter does not change the voltage set point of the
Freedom Inverter/Charger, it only sets the point at which the monitor considers the bat-
tery full. To change the voltage during the Acceptance and Float cycles use Ambient
Temp. set up routine. Note also that when the Freedom is the charging source the Charged
% is always 2%.
SELECT BATTERY #1 OR #2: To set up a battery parameter, press the button
for the battery you wish to set up. The LED will light. Set up changes are only made to
the selected battery.
CHARGED V: The ability to set up a Charged Voltage above which the monitor
considers the battery full allows it to be used with any charging system, or battery chem-
istry. The default Charged Voltage is 13.2 Volts for 12 Volt systems and 26.4 Volts for 24
Volt systems. The LINK 2000 automatically selects the correct value based on the volt-
age it senses. (If the Alternative Energy function F05 is ON, the default value is 13.5
Volts or 27.0 Volts. See FUNC operation for details.)
To change CHARGED V follow the same procedure as described previously:
Select the battery to be set up. Press SET UP until the LED begins to flash. Then release
the button, and press CHARGED V until the desired Voltage appears and then release
the button. The new Charged Voltage is stored in non-volatile memory. If the Charged
Voltage is inappropriate for the sensed battery voltage, Error E14 is displayed. See Error
codes. Be sure to read the section on selecting correct charged parameters (Page 21-22)
before changing the Charged Voltage.
CHARGED %: The default value is 2%. This means that the charging current (Amps)
flowing into the battery must fall below 2% times the declared battery capacity before the
meter considers the battery full. For example, using the default values of 2% and 200
Ahrs means the current must fall below: 4 Amps = 2% x 200 A hrs.
If the Alternative Energy mode is on, the default value is 4%. See FUNC operation
for details. Before changing the CHARGED % from either of these values, be absolutely
sure you understand the section on selecting charged parameters (Page 21-22). Set up and
storage to non-volatile memory is the same as for the function above.
BATT CAP: The default value is 200 A hrs. The battery capacity must be set up
if it varies significantly (10-20%) from the default. The battery capacity is used in the
calculation to determine when the battery is full and in the TIME remaining function.
To change the battery capacity, press SET UP until the LED begins to flash then
release the button. Now press BATT CAP. Scroll until the desired battery capacity is in
the display. If you are unsure of your battery capacity you may first test it as described on
Page 17. The battery capacity is stored in non-volatile memory. If you change to a
different capacity battery you must change this number. Range = 20-2000 A hrs in 20A
hr increments.
