Charge Cycle Status light on the Link 2000 R front panel should also be ON The RED CHG LED on the Output Module which indicates that field voltage is being supplied should gradually increase in brightness during the next 30 seconds Also check the TIME function which should display 4288 indicating the alternator output current is zero To verify that current is actually flowing into the alternator field use the LINK 2000 R to check the number of amps flowing from whichever battery has been selected by the main battery switch You should see 3 to 5 amps of current flowing This current is being supplied to the alternator field and perhaps to other instrumentation that is also turned on with the key switch if you are not using an oil pressure switch To verify that it is the alternator field consuming the current turn off the power to the REG ON terminal and disconnect the FIELD wire from the alternator field Repeat the test The current should now be about 2 to 4 amps less than it was This test assures you that the regulator is supplying the field current Another easy way to test if the field is energized is to check the magnetism of the rotor by touching the end of the alternator shaft with a steel screwdriver Do it with the regulator turned on wait 20 seconds for ramp up cycle and with it turned off there should be a noticeable difference If you cannot pass this test see the troubleshooting flow chart If you still need help call you

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
