High Voltage Notes
IF YOU USE MOTIVE BATTERIES TO POWER
THE LINK 10:
If the HV battery is "tapped" to provide meter power, it is recommended
that a 24 V tap, not a 12 V tap, be used. The reason for this is that under
heavy acceleration under low battery conditions, voltage may fall to levels
low enough to cause the meter display to turn off momentarily. Under
extreme circumstances, historical data may also be lost.
AVOID DATA LINE SHOCK HAZARD:
If you have a floating ground system and the Link 10 is equipped with the
RS-232 Serial Computer Port option and is being used to record data into a
laptop computer, we strongly recommend use of an optical isolator such as
Omega Cat #268 to eliminate danger of a HV short to ground or personal
shock hazard. Use caution in connecting wires to the DB-9 on the rear of
the Link 10 as Pin #5 is connected directly to motive battery (-).

SET VOLTAGE SCALING
Sets proper voltage scaling when used with an external Voltage
Prescaler. NOTE: If you use a Prescaler, you need to change the
Charged Voltage to an appropriate value for your application. See
"Charged Parameters" on pages 22 and 23.
DEFAULT: 0= 0–50 V. Options: 1= 0–100 V, 2= 0–500 V
