6 V olts is electricity’ s poten- tial to do work . V oltage helps assess approximate state-of-charge and to check for proper charging. A 12 V battery is consid- ered 100% discharged when it drops below 10.5 V . Amps is the present flow of current in or out of your battery .
7 Intr oduction Congratulations! The Xantrex Link 10 is the most advanced (Patents Pending) DC power measurement instrument available. It shows you: Battery State-of-Charge on a multicolor light bar . System voltage accurate to 1/20th of a volt ( <20 VDC).
8 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.
9 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.
10 Mounting Our Patent Pending "Ratchet Ring" makes mounting easy and fast. TIP: When installing from the front of a panel or dashboard slide the Ratchet Ring onto cable with correct orientation and then connnect the wires. Push Ratchet Ring o n until firmly in contact with panel.
11 Removing Removing the Link 10 i s the reverse of mounting with a TWIST as shown in the following diagrams. T wist 1/8th turn to unlock teeth. Then pull lock ring straight back as shown below .
12 W iring Overview This drawing is for 12 V & 24 V systems. For higher voltages see Prescaler use on page 44. DC+ T wisted pair cable Fuses T erminal Strip Connections See Detail page 14 Mounting.
13 Shunt & Battery W ir es 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 .
14 Meter W iring Detail Make the necessary wire connections to the Link 10 as shown in the following diagram: CAUTION Use correct sized screwdriver for terminal screws. T ighten firmly but do not over-tighten to avoid damage Color code shown for Xantrex 4 twisted pair cable.
15 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.
16 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.
17 Synchr onizing the Link 10 Synchr onize the Link 10 t o 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 .
18 Although the Link 10 is a very sophisticated device, obtaining basic battery information from it is simple. W ith the unit turned on and the ( V olts) LED on, let's learn how to display the four most important DC system parameters. When you touch the button, you are SEL ecting the display you wish.
19 Reading the Bar Graph Under the LED bar graph are the words RESET RESET RESET RESET RESET, DA DA DA DA DA T T T T T A A A A A, L L L L L OCK OCK OCK OCK OCK, and FUNC FUNC FUNC FUNC FUNC . These words are ignored during normal operation. They are used to indicate programming and advanced function modes which are explained beginning on page 28.
20 Pressing and holding the SET button for three seconds enters the Setup and Advanced Functions mode. The word SEL SEL SEL SEL SEL apppears in the display , prompting you to press the SEL button to choose what function you want to SEL ect. Pressing SEL chooses a variable or function .
21 The first time you use the Link 10, it assumes you have 200 amp-hour lead acid batteries. If your battery capacity is different you must change the declared battery capacity . Follow these instructions to declare a new capacity: 1) Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter SETUP (and Advanced Functions) menu.
22 The Char ged Parameters The Link 10 depends on the Charged Parameters to stay in sync with the battery state-of-charge, to automatically reset to zero, and to automatically calculate the CEF . The default settings are for 12 V lead acid (liquid or gelled) batteries.
23 Char ged Parameters & CEF If you change the Charged Parameters please use the following rules: 1 ) The Charged V oltage Parameter MUST BE A T LEAST 0.1V BELOW the voltage at which the charging system finishes charg ing. Example: If your charging system finishes the battery at 13.
24 Setting Up Five dif ferent displays are available in the T ime function. Y ou may select present consumption level, a 4-minute average, a 16-minute, or a 32-minute average, or display the percent of rate compensated capacity remaining. Which method is best for you depends on your installation.
25 The Link 10 may support an optional two wire temperature sensor . The temperature sensor is activated by turning Advanced Function F16 ON. W ith F16 ON, F03 shows battery temperature in degrees Celsius.
26 Peukert's Exponent is a number which describes how battery capacity shrinks as the rate of discharge is increased. The Link 10 uses a number between 1.00 and 1.50 to describe how fast a particular battery will "shrink" when a heavy load is connected.
27 Alarms T wo T ypes of Alarms The Link 10 i s 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.
28 In addition to reporting primary system values, the Link 10 is capable of many other front panel functions and will also display important historical battery data. The words below the bar graph display indicate which of these functions you are accessing.
29 Historical Data RES E T D A T A L OCK FU N C Key Battery Data Displayed DA T A Key historical battery information is available through this functi on . Each time the SEL button is pressed while in the DA T A mode the next piece of data is displayed.
30 Advanced Functions Advanced Functions FUNC Allows setup of Advanced Functions. T o access the FUNC mode, SEL ect the FUNC mode as previously de- scribed. The letters F0i F0i F0i F0i F0i will appear in the display and the FUNC LED will be lit, indicating you are in the FUNC mode.
31 F03 DISPLA Y OR SET BA TTER Y TEMPERA TURE If there is no external temp sensor and F16 is OFF (factory default), this function sets ambient battery temperature used to caluculate rate corr ected battery capacity which drives the LED bar graph and the T ime remaining display .
32 Advanced Functions F06 MANUALL Y SET CEF (Not Recommended) Allows manual setup of CEF . Displayed as two digits. Default display A90 indicates automatic CEF recalculation feature active. Returning to A90 from a user CEF turns the automatic CEF feature back on.
33 Advanced Functions CAUTION: If you set the discharge floor high, such as 50%, and continue to discharge well beyond this point, you will notice that the bar graph does not "fill up" until you have charged the battery above the discharge floor .
34 F16 TEMPERA TURE SENSOR ON/OFF This function turns the optional external temperature sensor on or off. This feature is only operable when a temperature sensor has been connected between Pin 6 and Pin 8 of the Link 10. T o fully understand this feature, please refer to F03 on page 31.
35 Low Battery Alarm Units with serial numbers greater than 005000 allow access to an enhanced Low Battery Alarm feature. T o activate this feature, change Function F14 to ON .
36 Alarm Functions F10 LOW BA TTER Y ALARM OFF (RECHARGE) SET POINT Once the Low Battery Alarm is activated, recharging the battery to this point turns the alarm OFF . This recharged point must always be at least 10% higher than Low Battery Line closure point.
37 NOTE: The Low Battery Alarm ON and OFF points operate on rate compensated (Peukert) amp hours consumed. Once the alarm is activated, the battery must be charged until Alarm OFF Set Point is reached to turn the alarm off. F12 LOW V OL T AGE ALARM THRESHOLD F12 sets the voltage below which the Low Battery Alarm is activated.
38 Special versions of the Link 10 are available, for additional charge, which include a solid state Alarm Switch to ground via rear panel terminal strip Pin #7. This option is used in a variety of settings such as lift pump lock out on fork lifts, two wire generator start/stop, audible low battery alarms, and charge controllers.
39 Peukert's Equation Peukert's Equation describes the effect of different discharge rates on b a t tery capacity . As the dischar ge rate increases, the available battery capacity decreases. The table and examples on the following page illustrate this effect and how to use the table to estimate the exponent " n ".
