3 LINK 20 INTRODUCTION Congratulations! Y ou have purchased the world's only Dual W atch tm battery monitor . In order to understand, use, and install it, PLEASE read this manual. It provides important information. Please contact us with suggested improvements.
4 FRONT P ANEL OF YOUR LINK 20 T The exclusive Dual W atch tm light bars give you battery state-of-charge information at a glance. It's easy to train your whole crew , even the kids, to turn off loads and start charging when the light bar shows two yellow lights.
5 USING YOUR LINK 20 ST A TUS LIGHTS These green lights tell you what units are displayed. V olts is the electric potential to do work . V oltage is useful to assess the approximate state-of-charge and to check for proper charging. Examples: An at-rest, fully charged battery will show about 12.
6 Four green lights means your battery is nearly full (80–100% charged). A single flashing red light means it's nearly discharged. Light bar scaling is independently settable. As the Link 20 comes from the factory , it is set to show a flashing red light whenever your battery is more than 80% discharged (20% charged).
7 LINK 20 BA TTER Y MANAGEMENT SIMPLE BA TTER Y MANAGEMENT RULE: Recharge When the Battery is 50% Discharged! The Link 20 is a guide to the battery's state of charge. Our Mid-Capacity Rule says you should begin charging when your Link 20 shows that 50% (or more) of battery capacity has been consumed.
8 BA TTER Y CAP ACITY TESTING Y our Link 20 can be used to conduct periodic capacity tests that tell you the actual amount of energy your batteries can store. A capacity test should start with a battery that has been properly charged and equalized. The objective is to find the maximum available capacity .
9 SYNCHRONIZING T O YOUR BA TTER Y A charged battery has zero amp hours removed. Synchronizing your Link 20 to read zero when the battery is charged ensures that you always know the net number of amp hours removed. There are two ways to synchronize your Link 20 : 1) Install the Link 20 on a fully charged battery and it will be in sync.
10 Y our Link 20 comes with default values chosen to work with most systems. Normally the only values that need to be changed are the battery capacity , battery type (liquid or gelled), and high discharge rate compensation (Peukert) exponent. Please be sure you understand each function before changing the factory default values outlined below .
11 Advanced Functions. See page 16. Locks out SET button and Advanced Func- tions. See page 24. Displays CEF , # CEF Recalc's, A verage Depth of Discharge, Deepest Discharge. Resets amp hours and allows reset of every- thing to factory default values.
12 The C The Link 20 depends on correctly set Charged Parameters to stay in sync with battery state-of-charge, to automatically reset to zero, and to automatically calculate the Charging Ef ficiency Factor of your battery . The two numbers which define Char ged Parameters are Charged V oltage and Charged Current Percent.
13 HOW T O SET Y our Link 20 automatically selects an appropriate charged voltage for 12-volt liquid and gel cells when you set battery type. (W e'll cover setting battery type on page 19). If you operate a 24-volt system, or if extremes of temperature are involved, here's how to change charged voltage: 1.
14 HOW T O SET ( B A TTER Y CAP ACITY) The first time you apply power to a Link 20 , it assumes you have two banks of 200 amp-hours battery capacity each. 200 amp hours is the factory default capacity . If your battery capacity is different (and it probably is) you must change the declared battery capacity .
15 HOW T O SET There are four different ways the Link 20 can approximate time of operation remaining. Y ou may select present consumption level, a four-minute rolling average, a 16-minute, or a 32-minute rolling average. Which method is best for you depends on your installation.
16 1) Hold down the SET button until the numeric display says SEL SEL SEL SEL SEL . 2) Now press the SEL button 1 1 times F0i F0i F0i F0i F0i will appear in the display . Y ou are now at F01 in the FUNC tion mode. 3) Press SEL again until the function you wish to set up appears.
17 F02 - DISPLA Y SLEEP DEF AUL T : ON RANGE: ON, OFF T urns off all lights on the front panel except for the light bars after 10 minutes of no front panel key presses.
18 F04 - DISPLA Y AMP HOURS OR KILOWA TT HOURS DEF AUL T OFF = Ah DISPLA Y MODE ON = kWh DISPLA Y MODE When this function is selected the Ah display shows kilowatt hours. Kilowatt hours are used internally by the Link 20 to determine if 100% of the energy consumed from a battery returned during charging.
19 F07 - SET TEMPERA TURE COEFFICIENT DEF AUL T = 0.5 RANGE = 0.1–1.5 STEP = 0.1 This factor compensates for capacity change with temperature. T ypical value 0.5% Capacity/°C. This coefficient must be supplied by the battery manufacturer . The default value is typical for lead acid liquid or gelled batteries.
20 F1 1 - Not Used F12 - Not Used F13 - Not Used F14 - DISPLA Y TEST DEF AUL T : OFF RANGE: ON when SET button is depressed when this function is active. OFF when SET is released. This function confirms proper operation of the Link 20 front panel display .

30 SETUP & HIST ORICAL DA T A The following table is a summary of the major values that may be changed through Setup or by accumulating historical data. The column on the right is provided to write down your setup values or historical data. Be sure and know these values before calling for customer service.
31 READ BEFORE WIRING !!!!! Before wiring the Link 20 , install the shunt as indicated. All wiring should be done before installing the meter power fuse. GENERAL NOTES 1) W ires used should be #16 or #18 A WG. (Larger wire is acceptable, but not necessary .
32 recommend them. W ith isolated negative output alternators, remember that instrumentation and other loads grounded directly to the engine block will not be measured unless their negatives are relocated to the load side of the Battery Shunt. Special high current shunts are really the right solution and may be ordered from Xantrex T echnology Inc.
33 The dual shunt is the current sensor for the Link 20 . Its 50 mV @ 500 A rating means that when 500 amps flows through it, 50 mV is generated across it. The millivolt signal is translated into an amps display in the meter . For example: A 50 A load generates 5 mV across the shunt and would be displayed as 050 amps.
34 Make the necessary wire connections to the Link 20 as shown in the following diagram: WIRING CONNECTIONS T O THE Link 20 1- BLACK 2- GREEN 3- ORANGE 4- BLUE 1 2 3 4 5 5- RED 6 8 7 8- BROWN 7- YELLOW 6- VIOLET NOTE: BE SURE TO USE TWISTED WIRE FOR GREEN & ORANGE AND YELLOW & BROWN SHUNT SENSE P AIRS.
35 Most failures and problems are due to wiring errors. Please double check the wiring. (Color code shown is for Xantrex cable) # 1 - DC Power (Black Wire) . Start at terminal #1 of the 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.
36 MOUNTING Surface mounting (Recommended method) . Y our Link 20 is supplied with a nesting-type mounting place which allows suface mounting using our exclusive Thin-Mount technology .
37 REMOVING THE UNIT T o demount the Link 20 from the nesting r eceptacle, insert a small coin, knife blade, or small screwdriver blade and press inward while gently pulling the meter away from the nest. Press in on this tab with a thin metal coin while pulling one side of the unit away from the nesting receptacle.
38 Once you have completed ALL instructions on page 35, insert the voltage sense wire fuses (Blue W ire to fuse holder on battery #1, V iolet Wire to fuse holder on battery #2). LAST , install the meter power fuse—Blue and V iolet wire fuses first, RED wire fuse LAST! The fuse should be in a fuse holder and should be connected in a smooth motion.
