Software History
Software Enhancement Rev. E 1.5
The Link 10 now includes the following additional functions:
F02 - ENHANCED SLEEP MODES
DEFAULT: ON Range: ON, OFF, AUTOMATIC
When the Sleep Mode is ON, the Link 10's numeric display turns off
after 10 minutes in order to reduce power consumption. Pressing either
SET or SEL buttons returns the numeric display to operation.
When the Sleep Mode is OFF, the numeric display stays on at all times.
In the AUTOMATIC sleep mode (displayed as AUt), the numerics are
on whenever charging or discharging exceeds 1 amp. When the rate of
charge or discharge remains less than 1 amp for 10 minutes, the numeric
display is turned off to conserve power. When asleep, pressing either
SET or SEL reactivates the numeric display. The numeric display
automatically wakes up when the rate of charge or discharge exceeds
1 amp. The Automatic Sleep Mode is ideal for electric vehicles.
TIME REMAINING DISPLAY
DEFAULT: 001 Range: 000, 001, 002, 003, P
When P is selected, an averaged Time Remaining number is not
displayed. Instead, the Link 10 reports rate compensated percent of
(declared) Battery Capacity Remaining. A full battery is displayed as
100P and the display decrements during discharge to 00P.
If you have selected a discharge floor other than 100%, the percent of
battery capacity remaining is referenced to the selected discharge floor
and uses the instantaneous (not averaged) rate of discharge.
This function is useful on electric vehicles where time remaining
numbers are of little value. NOTE: This display shows the rate compen-
sated capacity percentage which drives the bar graph.
