About Link 1000 Settings

F10 Select Battery Type

Default: 0 (Liquid Cell)

Range: 0 = Liquid Cell; 1 = Gel Cell (standard); 2 = Gel Cell (fast charge); 3 = AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)

This function sets the appropriate charge and float voltages for the Freedom charger and sets an appropriate Peukert exponent. Gel cell owners can use Type 1 or Type 2, but should consult the battery manufacturer before using Type 2. Type 3 sets Acceptance and Float voltages suited to AGM type batteries.

F11 Turn on Second Battery Voltage Sense

Default: Off

Range: On, Off

When this function is On, two voltages are displayed. When the Volts LED is on solid, you see the voltage of the monitored battery. If the battery Volts LED is flashing, the second (starting) battery voltage is being displayed.

If you use this function, keep in mind that the displayed voltage is only an indication of the battery’s state-of-charge if the battery has been at rest for at least eight hours.

A battery with an eight hour at-rest voltage of 12.4 volts or more will probably start an engine. A battery with an eight hour at-rest voltage of 11.1 volts will probably not start an engine, particularly if you have dirty injectors and if the engine doesn’t start right away.

F12 Number of Overload Conditions Experienced

Displays the number of inverter shutdowns since the last high level meter reset. This is primarily a troubleshooting tool.

F13 Number of Inverter Low Battery Shutdowns

Displays the number of inverter low battery shutdowns since the last high level meter reset. This is primarily a troubleshooting tool.

Link 1000 specifications

Xantrex Technology's Link 1000 is a sophisticated monitoring and control system designed primarily for the mobile power and renewable energy sectors. Capable of being integrated into various systems, from RVs to marine applications, the Link 1000 empowers users with the ability to efficiently manage their power resources.

One of the defining features of the Link 1000 is its comprehensive display panel, which offers users real-time data on their battery status, including voltage, current, and state of charge. This information is essential for maintaining optimal battery health and ensuring that users have a clear understanding of their power usage at any given moment. The LCD screen is user-friendly, providing clear visual indications of power levels and alarms in a straightforward manner.

The Link 1000 incorporates advanced technologies to enhance usability and performance. Its built-in intelligence allows for automatic recognition of various battery types, including AGM, gel, and flooded lead-acid batteries. This feature ensures that the charging strategy is optimized based on the specific needs of the battery, prolonging its life and improving overall efficiency.

Additionally, the Link 1000 includes programmable features that allow users to set customized charging profiles and thresholds. Users can specify parameters such as voltage cutoffs and charging current limits, making it easier to tailor the system to their unique power requirements. This level of customization is particularly beneficial for users who operate in diverse environments or have specific energy consumption patterns.

Another impressive characteristic of the Link 1000 is its remote monitoring capability. Users can connect to the system via Bluetooth or other communication means, enabling them to access vital power data from a distance. This is especially advantageous for those using the device in hard-to-reach areas, such as in remote camping sites or aboard boats.

In terms of installation, the Link 1000 is designed for flexibility; it can be mounted either vertically or horizontally, allowing it to fit seamlessly into various locations. The compact design ensures that it does not take up excessive space, which is a notable advantage in confined environments.

In summary, the Xantrex Technology Link 1000 stands out for its intuitive interface, advanced battery management capabilities, remote monitoring options, and customizable settings. These features make it an essential tool for anyone looking to optimize their energy consumption and manage their power systems effectively, whether on land or at sea.
