Introducing Link 1000
Chapter 1 describes:
• The Link 1000’s control and monitoring
functions
• The features on its control panel
1
Introducing the Link 1000
Introducing the Link 1000
The Link 1000 gives you complete remote control of the
Freedom 458, Freedom, and Freedom Marine Inverter/
Chargers. It also lets you monitor the performance of your
battery power system.
Inverter/Charger Control Functions
From the Link 1000 control panel, you can:
• Turn the invert function on and off
• Start or end an equalization cycle
• Activate the Power Share feature. This automatically
lowers the charger’s output to prevent AC breakers from
tripping if too many loads come on at once.
• Place the inverter/charger in Idle (standby) mode so it
only begins inverting at a level that you choose. This
power-saving feature minimizes t he draw on you r batter y
by turning the inverter off until it’s really needed.
• Make custom settings for numerous functions including
battery type, battery capacity, and Power Share mode.
These let you set up the Link 1000 so it suits the
characteristics of your system.
• Lock your setup values so no one can inadvertently
change them
Monitoring Functions
The Link 1000 control panel lets you see:
• The battery’s state-of-charge at a glance
• The voltage of the battery being monitored and the
voltage of a second (starting) battery
• The flow of current into the battery (charge rate)
• The flow of current out of the battery (consumption rate)
• The number of Ah (Amp-hours) that have been
consumed
2
Introducing the Link 1000
• The time remaining in your battery before it is
completely discharged
• Which charging stage the batteries are in (Bulk,
Acceptance, Float, or Equalization)
• Battery history including:
• Present charge efficiency
• The number of deep cycles the battery has had
• The deepest level of discharge
• The average level of discharge

Supplied Parts
❐ Link 1000 control panel and 4 mounting screws
❐ 500 amp precision shunt
❐ 25 foot RJ11 phone cable
❐ Owner’s guide
Materials You Need to Supply
Refer to Figure 2 on page 12.
❐ Wire harness to connect the Link 1000 control panel to
the shunt and to the positive battery terminal. You can
use 18AWG, twisted pair, for this wiring. You can also
buy the harness from the dealer you bought the Link
1000 from or from West Marine.
Contact West Marine at:
• 1-800-BOATING (Canada and US)
• Fax: 1-831-761-4421 (Canada and US)
When ordering the harness, quote these part numbers:
• 84-2014-00: 25 foot (7.62m) 8-conductor twisted pair
wire
• 84-2015-00: 50 foot (15. 24m) 8-co nductor twiste d pair
wire
❐ Appropriately sized copper cable and connectors to
connect the shunt to the battery and the negative bus for
DC loads
Consult a local cable supplier about cable size and
connector type. You may find it convenient to have the
cable supplier attach the connectors.
❐ 2, 2 amp fuses and fuse holders. (Three fuses and fuse
holders if you are monitoring a second battery.)
❐ 2 screws to mount the shunt
8
Tools
Planning the Installation
❐ 2 strain reliefs (cable clamps) for the wires and phone
cable coming out the back of the control panel
❐ Anti-corrosive spray
❐ High current shunt. If your starter current exceeds 500
amps for more than ten seconds, you will need a heavy
duty (1000 amp) shunt instead of the 500 amp shunt that
is supplied with the Link 1000. (You can also use a
separate engine starting battery whose negative is
connected directly to the engine.) The heavy duty shunt
part number is 84-2-13-00.
❐ Wire cutt er and stripper
❐ Small slot head screwdriver (for the screws on the
terminal block)
❐ Phillips screwdriver (for the control panel mounting
screws)
❐ Needle-nose pliers
❐ 9/16 in. wrench to secure cables to the shunt
Installation Considerations
Safety
• If you are using flooded lead-acid batteries, install them
in a separate battery compartment.
• Wiring should be in accordance with NEC, ABYC, or
other applicable national or regional codes.
Performance
• Do not connect anything other than the shunt to the
negative battery terminal. Connect all other loads and
sources to the load side of the shunt. (See Figure 2.)
9
Planning the Installation
• The shunt sense leads must be 18AWG twisted pair
wires.
• Install fuses within seven inches (18cm) of the battery.
Color-Coded Wiring
To avoid confusion during installation, Xantrex recommends
that you buy wires that have the same color coding as shown
in Figure 2.
Twisted Pair Wires
If you wish, you can make you r own twist ed pairs by t wisting
together two wires with a twist every inch. If you make your
own twisted pair, wrap tape around the wire s ev ery twelve or
sixteen inches (30 to 40cm) to keep the wires together and to
make them easier to pull through holes and raceways.
Separate Engine Starting Battery
In order to monitor start batte ry volta ge, you need to connect
a sense lead from the Link 1000 terminal blo ck to the positi ve
battery terminal of the starting battery. This procedure also
requires a 2 amp fuse and fuse holder. See step 6 on page 16
for installat io n de ta ils, and see page 33 for i nf ormat ion about
turning this function on.

Charged Parameters
There are two charged parameters: Charged Voltage and
Charged Current Percentage (%). During a charging cycle,
when the battery voltage exceeds the Charged Voltage
parameter and the charging current has dropped below the
Charged Current parameter, the battery is considered to be
fully charged. At this point the Link 1000 resets its state-ofcharge to fully charged (which appears as 0 Ah on the
display).

Changing the Idle Mode Setting
The Idle mode setting determines the size of AC load that is
needed to wake the inverter from its Idle (or standby) mode.
The settings are 0 W, 4 W, 6 W, and 15 W. The default is 4 W.
If you set th e Idle mode to 0 W, Idle mode is act ually
defeated and the inverter stays on all the time. When the
inverter is on, it draws approximately 0.5 amps. This setting
is useful if you want to ensure uninterrupted power to a very
small load like an electric clock.
The other three settings let you conserve battery power
because the inverter stays off until an adequate-sized load
brings the inverter out of Idle mode.

F04 Toggle Display Between Ah and kWhr
Default: Off
Range: Off = Ah display mode; On = kWhr display mode.
When this function is On, the Ah display is changed to a
kilowatt-hour display.
30
Kilowatt-hours are a very precise measurement of energy
removed from or returned to t he batt ery bank. The Lin k 1000
uses kilowatt-h ours to d etermine whether 100% of th e ener gy
consumed from the battery has been returned.
A recalculation of the CEF (Charge Efficiency Factor) is not
permitted unless this counter is greater than 0.00 kWhr. This
counter counts down during discharge, and the kWhrs
consumed are displayed with a negative number. While the
battery is charg ing, the Link 1000 counts back up with 100%
efficiency. CEF recalculation is prevented until a positive
number is in the kWhr counter. This prevents a premature
CEF reset.
F05 Turn on Alternative Energy Mode
Default: Off
Range: Off and On. On = use alternative energy defaults.
Turn Alternative Energy mode on if the Link 1000 is used in
an alternative energy system.
This function reduces the time needed to satisfy the charged
parameters from five minutes to one minute. If you are using
a semi-mechanical photovoltaic controller, we strongly
recommend that you also co nsider cha nging Char ged Curre nt

Range: 0.1–0.5 in 0.1 step increments
We recommend that you use the default value.
This factor compensates for the impact that temperature has
on battery capacity. A typical value is 0.5% Capacity per °C.
This coefficient must be supplied by the battery
manufacturer. The default value is typ ical for l iquid lead- acid
or gel batteries.
31
About Link 1000 Settings
F08 Set Peukert’s Exponent
Default: 1.25 for liquid lead-a cid ba tter ies. (Bat tery Type set
to Type 0.)
The Peukert exponent refers to the “shrink rate” of your
battery bank. The more rapidly you discharge the batteries,
the more their effective size shrinks. For example, a battery
that can supply 200Ah when discharged over twenty hours
may only provide 95Ah if discharged in one hour.
When you select Battery Type (see “Changing the Battery
Type Setting” on page 23 and “F10 Select Battery Type” on
page 33), the Link 1000 automatically sets an appropriate
Peukert exponent. When the Battery Type is gel or AGM
(Type 1, 2, or 3), a default exponent of 1.11 is used.
If your battery manufacturer has given you another value,
you can enter it. Otherwise, leave the default value.
F09 Set Low Battery Discharge Floor
Default: 100%
Range: 50%–100% in 5% increments
32
The Link 1000 lets you set the discharge floor that it uses for
calculations. The factory-set discharge floor is 100% of Ah
capacity, corrected for high discharge rates. If you set the
discharge floor to 100%, the Time Remaining display
reports the time that remains until you have a dead battery.
We recommend that you begin charging when two yellow
battery status LEDs are on in order to conform to the “Mid
Capacity Rule” (see page 39).
Note: If you discharge below the discharge floor, and then
partially charge but remain below the discharge floor, the Time
Remaining display will continue to read zero. The Time Remaining
display will not show meaningful readings until you have recharged
above the discharge floor you have set.
F10 Select Battery Type
Default: 0 (Liquid Cell)
Range: 0 = Liquid Cell; 1 = Gel Cell (standa rd); 2 = Gel Cell
(fast charge); 3 = AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
This function sets the appropriate charge and float voltages
for the Freedom charger and sets an appropriate Peukert
exponent. Gel cell owners can use Type 1 or Type 2, but
should consult the battery manufacturer before using Type 2.
Type 3 sets Acceptance and Float voltages suited to AGM
type batteries.
F11 Turn on Second Battery Voltage Sense
Default: Off
Range: On, Off
When this function is On, two voltages are displayed. When
the Volts LED is on solid, you see the voltage of the
monitored battery. If the battery Volts LED is flashing,
the second (starting) battery voltage is being displayed.
About Link 1000 Settings
If you use this function, keep in mind that the displayed
voltage is only an indica tion of the batt ery’s state-of-charge if
the battery has been at rest for at least eight hours.
A battery with an eight hour at-rest voltage of 12.4 volts or
more will probably start an engine. A battery with an eight

Charging Functions
Charge your batteries when two yellow LEDs are lit on the
BATTERY STATUS light bar (if you are using the default setting
for F09: Low Battery Discharge Floor). The two yellow
LEDs indicate that 50% of battery capacity has been used.
Charging at this level is called the Mid-Capacity Rule. In
marine and RV systems, which try to minimize ch ar ging time
with an engine-driven alternator, or generator-powered
charging, the battery is normally charged to the 85% level.
This means that only 35% of the battery capacity is actually
available for use.
The Mid-Capacity Rule is designed to optimize battery life.
Four charging cycles are available: Bulk, Acceptance, Float,
and Equali zation. When you start a charge cycle, the charger
automatically completes a Bulk, Accept, and Float charge.
You can also start an Equalization charge manually.

• Equalize your batteries ever y thirt y days whe n they are in
a daily cycling service or every thirty deep cycles.
• Equalize your batteries when the battery capacity has
decreased (that is, when the bat teries do not ho ld loads as
well as they previously did).
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Equalization produces explosive gases which must be
vented.
Read these precautions before you start an equalization
charge:
• Equalization causes batteries to gas. Make sure they are
well ventilated.
Charging Functions
• Check the electrolyte level of all batteries before and
after equalization. Make sure the electrolyte is at the
correct level, but do not overfill because the electrolyte
may expand and overflow.
• Leave the filler caps screwed on loosely, or remove them
and cover the opened cell tops with a folded paper towel.
• Make sure you are present during equalizatio n so you can
monitor the charging cycle.

CHG LED goes out and the Freedom Inverter/
Charger is forced to float when equalization ends (the
FLOAT LED comes on).
If you do not stop the equalization process manually, the
cycle ends automatically after eight hours. It also ends if
external AC power is interrupted.
To end equalization early on Freedom inverters that have a
serial number lower than 100,000, turn off both the

Charging Functions
Equalizing Gel Cell Batteries
You don’t normally equalize gel cell batteries. If they have
been severely disc harged, however , t hi s may be t he only way
to get them to begin accepting a charge. The voltage is
limited to the Acceptance charging level, but the cycle lasts
for eight hours.
Be sure that battery t ype is se t to 002 befor e you equal ize gel
cell batteries.
Activating Power Share
Power Share is a load management feature that helps prevent
external source AC breakers fr om tripp ing when the charger
and a number of other loa ds al l come o n at on ce. Power sh are
automatically reduces the output of the Freedom Inverter/
Charger if the A C loads exceed a specified current limit.
To change the Power Share setting:
•See page 27.
Battery Capacity Testing
42
To determine the actual amount of energy your batteries can
store, you conduct periodic capacity tests. A capacity test
should start with a batt ery t hat ha s been proper ly cha r ge d and
equalized.
Deep cycle battery capacity is usually stated as a 20 hour
discharge rate (a 100 Ah battery will provide 5 amps for
twenty hours). At discharge rates above 5 amps, the battery
will supply less than 100 Ah. For exampl e, if you are drawing
100 amps out of the battery, it will last less than half an hour.
The following table shows battery capacity at various
discharge rates.

Battery Capacity at Various Discharge Rates
Capacity (as a percent of the
Hours to Discharge

5 78%
3 66%
1 45%
20 hour rate)
To test battery capacity:
1. Charge the battery until the charged parameters are met.
This resets Ah to zero.
2. Turn on a load that draws approximately 5% of the
expected battery capacity.
3. Check the current by looking at the Amps display. The
load should be constant (for example, a light bulb).
4. Put the Link 1000 in Volts display mode.
5. When the voltage drops to 10.5 volts (or 21 volts if you
are testing a 24 volt system), turn the load off. (It should
take about twenty hours for the voltage to drop.)
6. Look at the Ah display. The number of Ah displayed
is the actual battery capacity.
If less than twenty hours passed before the voltage fell to
10.5, you can still determine the capacity by completing a
simple calculation. For example, assume that you have a 12
volt battery rated at 100 Ah. Apply a 5 amp load. If it only
took ten hours for the voltage to reach 10.5, the Link 1000
would display –50Ah. This number is the 10 hour capacity.
By dividing 50 by 89% (see the preceding table), you
determine that the actual 20 hour capacity is 56 Ah. You
could repeat the te st at 5% of the tes ted capacity (2.8 amps) to
verify the actual capacity.
43
Charging Functions
Synchronizing the Link 1000 to the Battery
When the battery is fully charged, the Link 1000 displays 0
Ah. This indicates that no energy has been removed from the
battery. (The display can also show a positive number; this
changes to 0 as soon as you place a load on the battery. See
page 45 for details about over-charge Ah).
As the battery discharges, the display shows how much
energy has been used. For example, when you run a 10 amp
load for one hour, the display shows –10 to indicate that 10
Ah have been used.
In other words, the Ah dis play tells you how much ener gy has
been removed from the battery as long as the Link 1000 is
synchronized with the battery.
• If you install the Link 1000 on a fully charged battery, it
is automatically synchronized to the battery.
• If you install the Link on a battery that is partially
charged, you mus t sync hroniz e the Link by fol lowing the
procedure given here.
• Once the Link 1000 is synchronized, it stays
synchronized as the battery runs through discharge /
charge cycles. If the Link every gets out of sync with the
battery (this ra rely hap pens), you ca n synch ronize it once
again by following the procedure given here.
To synchronize the Link 1000 to the battery:
1. Discharge the battery by at least 10% of its declared
capacity.
2. Set the Ah reading to 0 by:
a) Holding down
b) Pressing
on and AH appears.
c) Pressing

44
Over-charge Ah (Ac c umulation of Positive Ah)
If the battery is 100% charged, and the Link 1000 is
synchronized with the battery, over-charge Ah are displayed
as a positive Ah number. Some accumulation of over-charge
Ah is normal with syste ms that are continuou sly conn ected to
a charger. For example, a 100 Ah battery at Fl oat v olt age wi ll
normally have a little less than 0.1 amps flowing into it. This
means you would expect about 2.4 Ah of over-charge to
accumulate each day. If your battery system is larger, more
current flows and more over-charge Ah accumulate.
If the charging system is a constant voltage type set at 14.2
volts, as much as 1 amp may be flowing all the time after the
battery has reached the charged parameters. Prolonged high
voltage applied to a fully c harged battery will likely cause
gassing, and you would expect to see a large Ah over-charge
every day. This is a indicates that you are shortening the life
of your battery by over charging. Check your Link 1000
before turning off a charging source to see that you have not
accumulated too many over-charge Ah. (When discharging
begins, the Link 1000 resets to zero and begins to report Ah
consumed.)
Charging Functions
If you equalize your batteries, some over-charge Ah will
accumulate. This is normal and ensures that the Link 1000
stays synchronized with the battery state-of-charge.

Interpreting Battery History
E99: Charging Efficiency Factor
Factor (CEF) is the energy efficiency of the battery. This
indicates the health of the battery. The lower the efficiency,
the worse the health of the battery.
The Ah CEF, not the kilowatt-hour CEF, is displayed. A
display of E99 indicates a 99% CEF based on Ah. The
Default setting is 95%.
The Charging Efficiency
46
If the CEF display has a u in f ront of it, this means the CEF
has been selected by the user. See page 31 for details about
changing the CEF settings.
+I999: Number of CEF Recalculations This is the number of
times the battery has been discharged more than 10% and
then completely recharged (recharged until the Charged
Battery History
Parameters have been met) since the last time it was reset to
the factory defaults. A discharge of less than 10% of battery
capacity is not counted as a “cycle”.
–999: Deepest Discharge This is the deepest discharge in Ah
since the last time the Link 1000 was reset to the factory
defaults.
i999: Average Discharge This is the average of all discharges
as an Ah value since t he last reset to factory d efaults . For best
battery life, you should not routinely discharge more than
50% of your battery ’s capacity. If yo u do, you shor ten i ts li fe.
An average discharge of 500Ah on a 900Ah battery is
demanding but not unreasonable. An average discharge of
180Ah from a 200Ah battery is exc essive and will shorten the
battery’s life.
