Alarms
Two Types of Alarms
The Link 10 is equipped with both a visual Power Loss Alarm and a visual
Low Battery Alarm. It is important that you understand the difference
between these functions.
Power Loss Alarm: Shows when power being supplied to the Link 10 has
dropped to an unsafe level. Certain display features are turned off as meter
power drops below internally set levels.
Low Battery Alarm: Shows when the battery being monitored has reached
either a predetermined depth of discharge or has encountered at least 15
seconds of continuous low voltage below a settable level. The Low Bat-
tery Alarm is controlled by functions F10, F11 and F12 in the Advanced
Functions Section.
Power Loss Alarm & Reset Annunciation
If the voltage-supplying terminal #5 falls too low an automatic shutdown
occurs. This voltage varies from a low of 7.2 V to about 9.2 volts depending
on how fast the voltage drops. When power is restored, the display defaults
to the
function and the digital display flashes. Pressing either the SEL
or SET buttons cancels the flashing display. If the meter is in the sleep
mode when power loss occurs, the display will flash for 10 minutes and
then go to sleep if no buttons are pressed. Once asleep, the first button
press will wake the display in the flashing mode to annunciate the power
loss. The second button press will cancel the flashing display.
