Battery Basics Why monitor a battery? Batteries can be ruined by excessive discharge. They may also be dam- aged by under-charging. A battery (or bank of batteries) may be storing less energy than you think. The Link 10 provides all the key data you, or your technician, need to make decisions about battery use and charging. How does the Link 10 work? The Link 10 uses sophisticated microprocessor technology to report all significant battery information. The Link 10 monitors battery voltage and cu

Installation Basic installation of the Link 10 on a 12 or 24 volt system involves only five wires. Because the Link 10 will work on systems up to 500 volts, special high voltage installation techniques are discussed beginning on page 44. You need to read this section if you're working on an electric vehicle or system where more than 50 volts is encountered. If your installation is on a 12 or 24 volt system, let's get to work! Installation Planning First, gather all the tools you'll need for inst

Shunt & Battery Wires The shunt is the current sensor for the Link 10. Its 500 A, 50 mV rating means that when 500 amps flows through it there is 50 mV generated across it. The millivolt signal is translated into an amps display in the Link 10. For example: a 50 A load would generate 5 mV across the shunt and would be displayed as 50 amps. Caution: in the diagram below, the darker wires represent primary wiring and should be able to carry full battery load current. Size appropriately! + - Connec

Wire by Wire Check Most failures and problems are due to wiring errors. Please double check the wiring. (Color code shown is for Xantrex wire P/Ns on page 14.) #1 - DC Power (Black Wire). Start at terminal #1 of the Link 10 and follow it to the big bolt on the Load side of the shunt. Do not connect this wire to the small screw terminal with the Green shunt sense lead. #2 Shunt Sense Lead Load Side (Green Wire). This wire connects to the small screw on the Load side of the shunt.

Startup Once you have completed ALL instructions on page 15, insert the voltage sense wire fuse, then the meter power fuse. (BLUE wire fuse first, RED wire fuse last!) The fuse should be in a fuse holder and should be con- nected in a smooth motion. A "ragged" power-up may cause a meter lockup. Both the bar graph and digital display should come on. Factory Default Settings The Link 10 comes on in the (Volts) mode with the display flashing to indicate that it has been powered up from the de-pow

Synchronizing the Link 10 Synchronize the Link 10 to a Full Battery After installing the Link 10, charge the battery until the far right Green LED begins flashing, which indicates the Charged Parameters have been met. Amp hours will have started at 0 and counted up as a positive num- ber. As you begin discharging the battery, the LED will stop flashing and the numeric amp hour display resets to 0. The Link 10 is shipped from the factory assuming a 200 amp hour battery. Your battery may be a diff

Operation Although the Link 10 is a very sophisticated device, obtaining basic battery information from it is simple. With the unit turned on and the (Volts) LED on, let's learn how to display the four most important DC system parameters. When you touch the button, you are SELecting the display you wish. Each time you touch SEL in normal i4.25 operation, you will toggle to the next item to the right (volts) goes to (amps) to (amp hours) to (time). Now press SEL to bring up these function

Reading the Bar Graph Above the digital display are four LEDs. They tell you the battery's state- of-charge at a glance. Four green LEDs means your battery is full. One flashing red light means it is nearly discharged. The table below shows the six different displays indicating battery state-of-charge. Under certain light conditions green may appear yellow.
