About Link 1000 Settings

Charged Parameters

There are two charged parameters: Charged Voltage and Charged Current Percentage (%). During a charging cycle, when the battery voltage exceeds the Charged Voltage parameter and the charging current has dropped below the Charged Current parameter, the battery is considered to be fully charged. At this point the Link 1000 resets its state-of- charge to fully charged (which appears as 0 Ah on the display).

Changing the Charged Voltage Setting

If your system uses 12 or 24 Volt batteries: You don’t need to change the default Charged Voltage setting. On power up, the Link 1000 automatically selects an appropriate Charged Voltage for 12 or 24 volt liquid cells and gel cells. (If you have gel cell batteries, see “Changing the Battery Type Setting” on page 23.)

If your system does not use 12 or 24 Volt batteries: You must set an appropriate Charged Voltage. Use a value of 2.2 volts per cell at normal temperatures for liquid cell batteries.

To change the Charged Voltage setting:

1.Press and hold SET until SEL appears.

2.Press SEL once. The LED comes on and 13.2 appears (or 26.4 if you are using a 24 volt battery).

3.Hold down SET until the voltage you want is displayed.

(The display moves up in 0.1 volt steps. Once the display reaches 50.0 volts, it then rolls over and starts counting up from 8.0 volts.)

Changing the Charged Current Percentage Setting

If your system’s charging current does not fall below 2% of battery capacity at the end of the charging cycle (that is, when the battery should be full), you will need to change the Charged Current Percentage setting. (A fully charged battery is indicated when the green LED flashes on the BATTERY

STATUS light bar.)
