Freedom units produced prior to serial #100,000 have temperature compensation only for warm or cool environments. The temperature setup sets the voltages as per below:

F04 - TOGGLE DISPLAY BETWEEN AHR AND KWHR

DEFAULT OFF = Ah DISPLAY MODE

ON = Ah/kWh ALTERNATING DISPLAY MODE

When this function is selected theAhrs display alternates between the normal amp- hour mode and the kilowatt-hour counter that the LINK 2000 uses to determine if 100% of the energy consumed from the battery has been returned. A recalculation of the CEF is notpermittedunlessthiscounterisgreaterthan0.00kWh.Thiscountercountsdownduring discharge and the kilowatt hours consumed are displayed with a negative number. During charging it counts back up with 100% efficiency. Not allowing a recalculation of the CEF and an Ah reset until a positive number is in the counter ensures that there will not be a premature reset. See page 21 for conditions required for a recalculation of the CEF and an Ah reset.

F05 - ALTERNATIVE ENERGY MODE

DEFAULT: OFF

ON = USE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY DEFAULTS

Turn this mode on if your Link 2000 is used in Alternative Energy Systems. This function 1) reduces the time necessary to satisfy the charged parameters from five minutes to one minute; 2) sets Batt #2 discharge floor to 100%; 3) prevents Batt #2 from doing Ah resets; 4) changes Charged V parameter to 13.5 V (27 V). If you're using a semi- mechanical photovoltaic controller, we strongly suggest you also consider changing Charged Current to 4%.

F06 - MANUALLY SET CEF (NOT RECOMMENDED) DEFAULT OFF = AUTO RECALCULATION OF CEF DISPLAY = A87 OR A90 (DEPENDS ON BATTERY TYPE) RANGE = 65–99 STEP = 1

Allows manual set up of CEF (Charge Efficiency Factor). Default display A87 or A90 (depending on battery type selected—see F02) indicates automatic CEF recalculation feature. Returning to A87 or A90 from a user CEF restores the automatic CEF feature. If a user-setup CEF has been selected it will appear as a U## ( U preceding a number) in the DATA mode—see page 15. A different CEF may be set up for each battery; only the selected battery's CEF will be changed.

F07 - SET TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT

DEFAULT = 0.5 RANGE = 0.1–0.9 STEP = 0.1

This factor compensates for capacity change with temperature. Typical value 0.5% Capacity/°C. This coefficient must be supplied by the battery manufacturer. The default value is typical for lead acid liquid or gelled batteries. Normally this value is not changed.
