Link 2000
Monitor Two Battery Banks and Control Your Freedom Inverter/Charger
Link 2000 is a two-bank battery monitor with remote control for your Freedom Inverter / Charger. A simple and easy-to-use interface provides precise information on amp hours, kilowatt hours and historical battery information including number of cycles, deepest discharge, and average depth of discharge. Link 2000 automatically calculates charging efficiency.
Link 2000 and Freedom Inverters / Chargers communicate with each other via a standard 4 conductor telephone cable. This allows you to program four different battery types, battery temperature, AC power sharing and the inverter's idle mode sensitivity. The Freedom Inverter / Charger will also pass information to Link 2000's display such as error codes and charger status. Link 2000 also allows you to operate the Inverter / Charger remotely from the panel. Link 2000 can be used for 12 or 24-volt systems.
Link 2000 Features
Displays for DC Monitoring and Inverter / Charger Control
Link 2000's splash proof digital display provides complete battery state-of-charge information for two battery banks while controlling your Freedom Inverter / Charger. Major functions include:1. An INVERT button that allows you to turn the inverter on or off independently of the charger.
2. A CHARGE button that allows you to turn the charger on or off. When AC power is present, the charger will charge unless it is shut off.
3. A SET UP button that provides access to the Set Up and Advanced Features modes. Each Set Up function is noted in small text below each of the button's primary functions.
4. A DC Volt display relays specific battery voltage information for the selected battery bank.
5. A DC Amp display shows the present net flow of current into and out of the battery. It displays net amps drawn from the battery for various loads and the charge rate from the charging sources.
6. An Amp Hour display relays amp hours consumed. This represents the amount of energy removed from the battery. During battery charging, Link 2000 compensates for charging efficiency of the battery as it counts back towards 0. Range + 0-1,999.
7. A Time Remaining display provides an estimate of how long a battery can be operated at present load until Link 2000 indicates the battery is completely discharged. This is based on a selectable, time-averaged rate of discharge. Range + 0-255.
8. BAT 1 or BAT 2 indicates the battery bank that is being monitored.
9. Multi-colored LEDs indicate when AC is present and the different charger stages of the Freedom Inverter / Charger including, Charge, Accept and Float.
Programmable Advanced Functions
Customize Link 2000 to perform specialized functions such as setting Alternative Energy, Sleep and Kilowatt Hour display modes. Make programmable adjustments to the Freedom Inverter / Charger directly from the front panel.Easy Installation
Link 2000's surface mount design simplifies installation. Complete installation instructions come with each Link 2000 including instructions for high voltage systems.Historical Data Display
Display key historical battery information such as charge efficiency, deepest discharge, and average discharge.Custom Dual Shunt (included)
A custom dual shunt is included with each Link 2000. The shunt is a one hundred micro ohm resistor wired into the negative terminal of each battery bank. Link 2000 senses very small voltage measurements across the shunt one thousand times per second in order to calculate average current.
