The units of display are explained below.
VOLTS
Displays the voltage of the battery being monitored.
(The Link 1000 can also display the voltage of an
additional battery.)
A
MPS
Displays the flow of current into or out of the battery.
Discharging appears as a negative number. Charging
appears as a positive (unsigned) number.
For example, if 6 amps are going into the battery, the
numeric display shows
6
. If 6 amps are being
consumed, the numeric display shows
–6
.
Ah
Displays the Ah (amp-hours) consumed.
This is the amount of energy that has been consumed
from the battery. For example, if you have operated a
10 amp load for one hour, 10 Ah have been
consumed, and the display shows
–I0
.
When the battery is fully charged, the Link 1000
displays
0
Ah.

EMAINING
This is an estimate of the hours that the battery can
operate at its present load until it is completely
discharged. The estimate is based on a selectable,
time- averaged, rate of discharge. The default is the
average of the last four minutes of use.
While the batteries are charging, this display shows
CCC
.
Note
:
The numeric display also shows Error Codes. If an error
occurs, the display alternates between the monitoring function you
have selected and the Error Code. For details about Error Codes,
