3 INTRODUCTION AND SPECIAL NOTES The LINK 2000 is an integrated battery monitor and inverter/charger control. It displays the critical information necessary for 12 V or 24 VDC system battery management and allows precise control of critical inverter and charger features. The Link 2000-R comes with an additional manual describing the Ideal Regulator[...]

4 MONIT OR FUNCTIONS Please also refer to the one-page summary of features in center of this manual. The small blue legends indicate Setup functions described later . BA TTER Y SELECT The battery to be monitored is selected by pressing the #1 or #2 switch. A Green LED indi- cates which battery is selected. ("Battery" may be a "bank&q[...]

5 INVERTER/CHARGER FUNCTIONS MARINE AND R V OPERA TING 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 [...]

6 ST A TUS LINE There are four LED status indicators to show the presence of AC power and the charger's cycle state. AC IN: Green LED on when AC is present. CHARGE: Red LED on when charger is in Charge mode. Flashes Red when charger is in Equalize mode. ACCEPT : Orange LED on when charger is in Acceptance mode. FLOA T : Green LED on when charg[...]

7 SETUP The LINK 2000 has been set up with default values chosen to work with a typical system. Normally the only values that must be changed are: 1) Battery capacity (page 9) 3 ) Battery type (liquid or gel) (F02 page 1 1). 2) Ambient T emperature (F03 page 1 1) 4) Peukert's exponent (F08 page 13). The SETUP BUTTON is used to access the funct[...]

8 INVERTER SETUP IDLE MODE: The default value is 4 watts. This means it takes a 4-watt AC load to turn the inverter on from its low power idle mode. Setting a value of 0 watts means the inverter is always on. The low power idle current is about 0.25 amps. When idle mode is set to 0 W the current consumption goes up to about 0.9 amps. Range = 0 W , [...]

9 MONIT OR SETUP Normally the only MONIT OR SETUP parameter that must be changed is BA TT CAP (see bottom of this page). Please read the section on selecting charged parameters (page 21–22) before changing CHARGED V or CHARGED % default values. (See FUNC SETUP on page 10 for other system values that may need to be changed.) Setting the following [...]

10 FUNCTIONS SETUP FUNC: The FUNC (Function) mode is used to set up special functions or features that are not commonly changed. They might be thought of as internal softwar e switches that allow the selection of special functions, or values that, once set, are seldom changed. Normally the only functions that must be changed are F02 Battery T ype, [...]

Gel cell owners may use T y[...]

12 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: TEMP TYPE 0 (Liquid) TYPE 1 (Gel 1) Accept Float Equalize Accept Float Equalize Above 80 °F 13.9 13.3 15.8 14.1 13.8 14.1 Below 80 °F 14.4 13.5 16.3 14.4 13.8 14.4 F04 - T OGGLE[...]

13 F08 - SET PEUKER T'S EXPONENT DEF AUL T = 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 accu[...]

14 F13 SET DISCHARGE FLOOR DEF AUL T = 100% RANGE = 50%–100% STEP = 5% When this option is activated, you may set a discharge floor for each battery bank. When the discharge floor is set to 50%, the T ime Remaining display reports time remaining until the battery reaches the 50% discharged level. Y ou may set the discharge floor from 50% to 100% [...]

15 DA T A MODE DA T A: The DA T A mode is used to recall key historical information about the battery (battery banks). T o access the DA T A mode: 1) Select Battery #1 or #2 to review its data. 2) Press and hold the SETUP button until the green LED begins to flash then release the button. 3) Now press the (blue) DA T A button. Each time you press t[...]

16 HOW T O USE THE LINK CONTROL P ANEL BA TTER Y MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY : Recharge When the Battery is 50% Discharged! The LINK 2000 is a guide to the battery's state of charge. Our Mid-Capacity Rule says you should begin charging when your LINK 2000 shows that 50% of battery capacity has been consumed. In Marine and R V systems, which are tryi[...]

17 parameters. The battery will be gassing and you will see an accumulation of a large number of amp hours each day . This is a clear indication that you are destroying your battery by overcharging. Check your LINK 2000 before turning off a charging source to see that you have not accumulated too many overcharge amp hours. When discharging begins, [...]

18 THE F ACT OR Y DEF AUL T V ALUES FOR CHARGING: Battery capacity: = 200 Ah (800 Ah if F05 is ON) Accept V oltage: = 14.4 volts for 12-volt systems (for wet cell batteries) = 28.8 volts for 24-volt systems (for wet cell batteries) Charged Current: = 2% (of battery capacity) Float V oltage: 0.9 V below the Accept V oltage for Liquid electrolyte bat[...]

19 HOW T O TELL WHEN A BA TTER Y IS FULL Y CHARGED (CHARGED BA TTER Y P ARAMETERS) MUL TIPLE ST AGE CHARGING SYSTEMS If you are using the charger in the FREEDOM, the battery is charged when the system switches to the Float cycle. If another manufacturer's charging system is being used it should be adjusted so the transition from Acceptance Cha[...]

20 SYNCHRONIZING YOUR LINK 2000 T O A CHARGED BA TTER Y A charged battery has zero Ahrs removed. Synchronizing your LINK 2000 to read zero when the battery is charged ensures that you always know the net number of amp hours removed. The charged parameters on the previous page indicate when a charging system has put as much energy into a battery as [...]

21 MANUALL Y SELECTING THE CHARGED BA TTER Y P ARAMETERS DISCUSSION: HOW THE LINK 2000 USES THESE V ALUES The LINK 2000 allows the setup of specific charged parameters. The factory default values have been carefully chosen to work on most systems, including constant voltage and multiple step charging systems. The factory Charged Parameters are 13.2[...]

22 RULES FOR CHANGING THE CHARGED BA TTER Y P ARAMETERS If you must change the Charged Parameters please use the following rules. If the charged parameters are not correctly selected, the LINK 2000 will never r ecalculate the CEF . For example: (1) If your charging system only reaches 13.8 (27.6) volts, a Char ged V oltage of 14.0 (28.0) volts will[...]

23 RESET / INFO FUNCTIONS The drawing below shows the Reset/Info Functions layout. T o access these, press the SETUP BUTTON for ten seconds. The time is long to avoid unintentionally entering this mode. When the green LED begins to flash quickly (about three times per second) select the Advanced Function you wish by consulting this drawing. The dis[...]

24 HIGH DISCHARGE RA TES & PEUKERT'S EQUA TION Peukert's Equation describes the effect of different discharge rates on battery capacity . As the discharge rate increases the available battery capacity decreases. The tables on pages 25, 26 and 27 have typical values of " n " for common batteries. Page 25 is a look-up table, p[...]
