29. rything works For this test make sure the battery charger or any other charging sources are turned off Partially discharge the batteries remove at least 20 of the capacity it may take a few hours at a relativity high discharge rate Start the engine and watch the battery voltage to see that it raises to and levels off at about 14 4 28 8 volts in the Acceptance Cycle With the default values when the battery current falls to about 4 amps 2 of the battery capacity the regulator will shift into the Float Cycle and maintain the batteries at the Float voltage Also check the alternator current by pressing the TIME button and using a milli Volt meter to measure the voltage drop across the alternator shunt and comparing it to the reading on the LINK 2000 R The milliVolt reading multiplied by ten should about equal the LINK 2000 R alternator current reading The alternator current measurement is inherently less accurate than the battery current measurement you may see up to 3 amps error STANDBY REGULATORS Part of our power system design philosophy is to consider spares and backup systems before they are needed We have designed the Ideal Regulator with this in mind The Ideal Regulator Output Module wiring harness is compatible with standard P Field external regulators Simply carry a spare regulator that is plug compatible and just unplug the Output Module and plug in your standby regulator You may use a simple adjustable constant voltage
