F13    SET  DISCHARGE FLOOR

DEFAULT = 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 Time Remaining display reports time remaining
until the battery reaches the 50% discharged level. You may set the discharge floor from
50% to 100% in 5% increments. When the Settable Discharge Floor is 100%, time  remaining
to 100% discharge is displayed. You may set a discharge floor for each battery. The settable
floor is applied to the battery selected (BAT1 or BAT2) at the time you enter this function.
You may wish to set a higher discharge floor, such as 50%, for an engine starting bank and
a deeper floor, such as 75%, for a deep-cycling house bank.

F14  - ACTIVE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION ON, OFF

DEFAULT = OFF

RANGE = OFF, ON

When this function is 

ON

, the Link 2000/Link 2000-R uses the actual battery

temperature reported from the Freedom Inverter/Charger through the temperature probe.
If the unit Inverter/Charger does not report a valid temperature reading, the Link 2000 will
use the battery temperature declared by F03 (

Default: 70 °F)

 to set charging voltages.

Remember: charging voltages are controlled by battery type 

and

 temperature settings.

F15 - SPECIAL FUNCTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC USE.

DEFAULT ON = INVERTER CONTROL
OFF = ASCII OUTPUT

CAUTION!! LEAVE THIS FUNCTION ON. TURNING IT OFF DISABLES
COMMUNICATION. TO BE USED FOR SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES
ONLY.
