F08 - SET PEUKERT'S EXPONENT
DEFAULT = 1.25 RANGE = 1.00–1.50 STEP = 0.01
Sets the exponent for Peukert’s equation. A setting of 1.00 defeats Peukert's calculation. See pages 24–27 for a discussion of Peukert's equation and typical values for various batteries. Properly setting Peukert's exponent ensures a more accurate display of time remaining and percent remaining.
F09 - Ah OR RATE COMPENSATED % REMAINING MODE DEFAULT OFF = Ah DISPLAY MODE
ON = RATE COMPENSATED PERCENT REMAINING MODE Changes the A hrs function to % Remaining mode, which displays the selected
battery's rate compensated state-of-charge as a percentage of the declared capacity. A full battery is displayed as P100 and a 50% charged battery is displayed as P050. When in this mode, the battery capacity and Peukert exponent must be accurately set up.
This option is not available when F04 or F05 is ON.
F10 - ALTERNATOR CURRENT LIMIT | |
DEFAULT = 100 | RANGE = 30–220 AMPS, OFF | STEP=10AMPS |
This function is only used with the Alternator Regulator Model (Link 2000-R). It sets a safety current limit for the alternator. This limits the maximum amount of current that thealternatorcaneverdeliverwhichinturnreducesheatandwearonbeltsandbearings. The OFF position turns alternator current limiting off.
F11 - BATTERY #2 USED FOR CONTROL
DEFAULT ON = BATTERY #2 USED FOR CONTROL OFF = BATTERY #2 IS NOT USED FOR CONTROL
This function is used to defeat Battery #2 as a part of the charger control function of the FREEDOM inverter (also alternator control in the Link 2000-R). This is necessary for systems that have both 12 V and 24 V batteries. Battery #1 must be the battery that is used by the FREEDOM. You may also wish to use this function if the main house battery (Bank1)issubstantiallylargerthanaseparateenginebattery(Bank2)thatisalsomonitored by the LINK 2000. This will prevent the LINK 2000 from making a premature transition to float based on the smaller engine battery meeting the charged parameters substantially before the house battery.
NOTE: This function is not changed in a reset to factory default values. If you wish to change this function you must use the setup routine to change it.
F12 - BACKLIGHTING INTENSITY CONTROL
DEFAULT = 130 RANGE = 0–240 STEP = 10
This function may be used to increase or decrease the intensity of the backlighting for the display.
