Choosing a Display Unit: Volts, Amps, Ah, or Time

By default, the numeric display shows Volts , but it can also show Amps, Ah, and Time Remaining.

To change the display unit:

•Press SEL until the , , or LED comes on. The units of display are explained below.

VOLTS

Displays the voltage of the battery being monitored.

 

(The Link 1000 can also display the voltage of an

 

additional battery.)

AMPS

Ah

Displays the flow of current into or out of the battery. Discharging appears as a negative number. Charging appears as a positive (unsigned) number.

For example, if 6 amps are going into the battery, the numeric display shows 6. If 6 amps are being consumed, the numeric display shows –6.

Displays the Ah (amp-hours) consumed.

This is the amount of energy that has been consumed from the battery. For example, if you have operated a 10 amp load for one hour, 10 Ah have been consumed, and the display shows –I0.

When the battery is fully charged, the Link 1000 displays 0 Ah.

TIME

REMAINING

This is an estimate of the hours that the battery can operate at its present load until it is completely discharged. The estimate is based on a selectable, time- averaged, rate of discharge. The default is the average of the last four minutes of use.

While the batteries are charging, this display shows CCC.

Note: The numeric display also shows Error Codes. If an error occurs, the display alternates between the monitoring function you have selected and the Error Code. For details about Error Codes, see page 48.
