F05 Turn on Alternative Energy Mode
Default: Off
Range:
Off and On. On = use alternative energy defaults.
Turn Alternative Energy mode on if the Link 1000 is used in
an alternative energy system.
This function reduces the time needed to satisfy the charged
parameters from five minutes to one minute. If you are using
a semi-mechanical photovoltaic controller, we strongly
recommend that you also consider changing Charged Current
to 4%. (See
“Changing the Charged Current Percentage
Setting” on page 25 .)
F06 Manually Set CEF
Default: Off = Auto recalculation of CEF
Display:
A95
Range: 65–99 in 1 number increments
This setting allows manual set up of CEF (Charging
Efficiency Factor). The default display
A95 indicates the
automatic CEF recalculation feature. Returning to
A95 from
a user-set CEF turns the automatic CEF feature back on. If a
user-set CEF has been selected, it will appear as a
Uxx in
Data mode (where
xx is the number the user has selected).
F07 Set Temperature Coefficient
Default: 0.5
Range: 0.1–0.5 in 0.1 step increments
We recommend that you use the default value.
This factor compensates for the impact that temperature has
on battery capacity. A typical value is 0.5% Capacity per °C.
This coefficient must be supplied by the battery
manufacturer. The default value is typical for liquid lead-acid
or gel batteries.
