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 your own twisted pairs by twisting together two wires with a twist every inch. If you make your own twisted pair, wrap tape around the wires every 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 battery voltage, you need to connect a sense lead from the Link 1000 terminal block to the positive battery terminal of the starting battery. This procedure also requires a 2 amp fuse and fuse holder. See step 6 on page 16 for installation details, and see page 33 for information about turning this function on.
