Alarms

Two Types of Alarms

The Link 10 is equipped with both a visual Power Loss Alarm and a visual Low Battery Alarm. It is important that you understand the difference between these functions.

Power Loss Alarm: Shows when power being supplied to the Link 10 has dropped to an unsafe level. Certain display features are turned off as meter power drops below internally set levels.

Low Battery Alarm: Shows when the battery being monitored has reached either a predetermined depth of discharge or has encountered at least 15 seconds of continuous low voltage below a settable level. The Low Battery Alarm is controlled by functions F10, F11 and F12 in the Advanced Functions Section.

Power Loss Alarm & Reset Annunciation

If the voltage-supplying terminal #5 falls too low an automatic shutdown occurs. This voltage varies from a low of 7.2 V to about 9.2 volts depending on how fast the voltage drops. When power is restored, the display defaults to the function and the digital display flashes. Pressing either the SEL or SET buttons cancels the flashing display. If the meter is in the sleep mode when power loss occurs, the display will flash for 10 minutes and then go to sleep if no buttons are pressed. Once asleep, the first button press will wake the display in the flashing mode to annunciate the power loss. The second button press will cancel the flashing display.
