  • Page 30: General Settings

    All Universal Channels configured to read “passive analog inputs” (any NTC, PT1000, PT500, PT100, PTC) will display a temperature, and by default they are shown in ˚C (Celsius). It is possible to convert the temperatures to ˚F (Fahrenheit) within the Link IO module, so no conversion is required on the BMS.
  • Page 31: Buzzer "Beeping" Mode

    If you plan on using ambient tracking, a solution would be to filter the required set-point changes within the BMS and send them to Link IO only every 15 minutes for example. Buzzer “beeping” mode By default, the on-board buzzer gives a feedback “beeping”...

    USB. Saves the file on the root directory of a connected USB memory stick (USB 2.0 max). This operation is very useful as the same file can be used on other Link IO main devices and restore (RESTORE DATA) all the settings contained in the txt file within the Link IO, effectively reducing massively configuration time for extended repeatable configurations.
  • Page 33: Restore Factory Defaults

    Restore factory defaults From the general settings menu it is possible to restore the Link IO device to the factory settings, by changing the setting from “NO” to “YES” and press Enter There are special cases where the device might not be accessible (“setting log in password” lost is probably the main example).
