About Link 1000 Settings

F05 Turn on Alternative Energy Mode

Default: Off

Range: Off and On. On = use alternative energy defaults.

Turn Alternative Energy mode on if the Link 1000 is used in an alternative energy system.

This function reduces the time needed to satisfy the charged parameters from five minutes to one minute. If you are using a semi-mechanical photovoltaic controller, we strongly recommend that you also consider changing Charged Current to 4%. (See “Changing the Charged Current Percentage Setting” on page 25.)

F06 Manually Set CEF

Default: Off = Auto recalculation of CEF

Display: A95

Range: 65–99 in 1 number increments

This setting allows manual set up of CEF (Charging Efficiency Factor). The default display A95 indicates the automatic CEF recalculation feature. Returning to A95 from a user-set CEF turns the automatic CEF feature back on. If a user-set CEF has been selected, it will appear as a Uxx in Data mode (where xx is the number the user has selected).

F07 Set Temperature Coefficient

Default: 0.5

Range: 0.1–0.5 in 0.1 step increments

We recommend that you use the default value.

This factor compensates for the impact that temperature has on battery capacity. A typical value is 0.5% Capacity per °C. This coefficient must be supplied by the battery manufacturer. The default value is typical for liquid lead-acid or gel batteries.
