Time remaining display reads +￿+￿+.

For the TIME function to operate correctly you must enter your BATTERY CAPACITY through the SETUP routine (see page 9). You must also set up the correct PEUKERT'S EXPONENT (see page 13). It is also affected by your selection of DISCHARGE FLOOR (see page 14).

Caution: The TIME display is an estimate of how long your battery can sustain a load. Wild variations in battery current, battery condition, erroneously declared battery capacity, Peukert's exponent, temperature, or discharge floor, and prior charge and discharge history may affect the accuracy of this estimate. Please use this display only as a guide. The LINK 2000 provides you with several important battery parameters. Using all of them, including voltage, current, amp hours consumed, and time remaining, allows you to know about the state-of-charge of your battery. Do not rely on a single value to determine battery status or performance.

LO BAT

When 50% of the declared capacity of either Battery #1 or #2 is consumed, LO BAT flashes in the upper left hand corner of the display. (This indicator is affected by both the declared battery capacity and the discharge floor setting.)

INVERTER/CHARGER FUNCTIONS

INVERT

When the INVERT switch is pressed, the inverter is enabled and the Green LED is lit. The inverter will only provide output if it is hooked up to the battery and there is no external AC power available. The inverter ON indicator does not indicate actual operation, only that the inverter is enabled. The initial power-up condition is with the inverter turned OFF.

CHARGE

When the CHARGE switch is pressed, the charging function of the Freedom Inverter/Charger is enabled. The Green LED is lit when the charger is enabled. The initial power- up condition is with the charger enabled. The charger will only provide output if it is hooked up to a battery and an external source of AC power is present (shorepower or generator).

MARINE AND RV OPERATING TIP

When utility power is available, any loads normally supplied by the inverter are automatically transferred to utility power through the internal transfer switch. When utility power is not available the loads run on stored energy in the battery. If you have a load such as an electric space heater running on a circuit that is automatically transferred, you run the risk of deeply discharging your battery if there is a utility blackout. To avoid this, turn the inverter function OFF when leaving the boat or RV unattended. Leaving the charger function ON will ensure a full battery when you return.
