Heart Interface LINK 2000 Owner's Manual page 5

For the TIME function to operate correctly you must enter your battery capacity
through the SET UP routine (see Page 9). You must also set up the correct Peukert's
exponent (see Page 13).
Caution: The TIME display is an estimate of how long your battery can sustain a
load. Wild variations in battery current, battery condition, erroneously declared battery
capacity, Peukert's exponent, temperature, and prior charge and discharge history may
affect the accuracy of this estimate. Please use this display only as a guide. The Link
2000 provides you with several important battery parameters. Using all of them, i.e.
Voltage, Current, Amp-Hours consumed, and Time remaining, allows you to know about
the state-of-charge of your battery. Do not rely on a single value to determine battery
status or performance.
When 50% of the declared capacity of either Battery #1 or #2 is consumed, LO BAT
flashes in the upper left hand corner of the display.
INVERTER/CHARGER FUNCTIONS
Note: Freedom units prior to serial # 100,000 must have both the INVERT and CHARGE
function OFF to turn OFF the CHARGE function. Also, the ON/OFF switch on the inverter
must be in the OFF position.
MARINE AND RV OPERATING TIP
When utility power is available, any loads normally supplied by the inverter are
automatically transferred to utility power through the internal transfer switch. When utility
power is not available the loads run on stored energy in the battery. If you have a load such
as an electric space heater running on a circuit that is automatically transferred, you run the
risk of deeply discharging your battery if there is a utility blackout. To avoid this, turn the
inverter function OFF when leaving the boat or RV unattended. Leaving the charger function
ON will insure a full battery when you return.
LO BAT
When the INVERT switch is pressed, the inverter is
enabled and the Green LED is lit. The inverter will only
provide output if it is hooked up to the battery and there is no
external AC power available. The inverter ON indicator does
not indicate actual operation, only that the inverter is enabled.
The initial power up condition is with the inverter turned OFF.
When the CHARGE switch is pressed, the charging
function of the Freedom series inverter/charger is enabled.
The Green LED is lit when the charger is enabled. The initial
power up condition is with the charger enabled.
