SPECIAL SET UP FOR LINK 2000-R
The following is a list of special set ups that may be necessary to tailor the
LINK
2000-R
to your system. Please see Pages 10-13 of the
LINK 2000
Owners Manual for
details on how to use the
FUNC
mode.
F10 - ALTERNATOR CURRENT LIMIT
DEFAULT = 100
RANGE = OFF, 30 - 220 AMPS
STEP = 10 A
This function is only used with the Link 2000-R (Alternator Regulator Model). It
sets a safety current limit for the alternator. This limits the maximum amount of current that
the alternator can deliver. This value is reset to 100Amps in the event of a reset to factory
default values.
CAUTION: OFF defeats this safety feature and the alternator will be run at
full output until the Acceptance Voltage is reached. This feature can also be used to
troubleshoot the alternator current measuring/limiting feature.
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 and alternator
regulator control functions of the Link 2000-R. This is necessary for systems that have both
12V and 24V batteries. Battery #1 must be the battery that is used by the Freedom inverter
(or charged by the alternator when controlled by the Link 2000R). You may also wish to
use this function if the main house battery (Bank #1) is substantially larger than a separate
engine battery (Bank #2) that is also monitored by the Link 2000-R. This will prevent the
Link 2000-R from making a premature transition to float based on the smaller engine battery
meeting the charged parameters substantially before the house battery.
NOTE: Function F11 is not changed in a reset to factory default values. If you
wish to change this function you must use the set up routine to change it.
