TERMINAL #1

BLACK WIRE (AGND) is the Analog Ground. It is the reference for all measurements. It must be connected on the BSHG (Grounded) side of the battery shunt. The BSHG side of the shunt is the side opposite of the negative battery terminals. It must have a good connection to one of the two #10 screws on the top of the battery shunt. Do not connect anything else to this terminal.

TERMINAL #2 is not used.

TERMINAL #3

WHITEWIRE (LITE) turns on the monitor backlighting. It may be supplied from a switch that controls other instrument lighting or it may be connected to TERMINAL #4 ifyouwishthelightingtobeonallthetime.Setatthedefaultvaluethebacklightingconsumes about 8 mA (0.008 A). If left on all the time it would use less than 0.2 Ah per day.

TERMINAL #4 <<Consider the options for this wire>>

RED WIRE (12 / 24 V) is the +12 V / 24 V power to supply the meter. The wiring diagram shows two options. The preferred option is to jumper together TERMINALS #4 and TERMINAL #5 as shown. Wired this way, the meter cannot accidentally be de-powered. It has the disadvantage of always consuming a little bit of power from the #1 Battery. The meter consumes about 28 mA (0.028 A). If left on all the time it would use about 0.7 Ah per day.

If the system is left on for long periods (long enough to significantly discharge the battery)withnochargingsourcesavailable,thenyoushouldconsidertheoptionshownwith the dotted line. In this case the TERMINAL #4 RED WIRE is not jumped to the TERMINAL #5 BLUE WIRE but supplied from the common of the battery switch. (Be sure to install the 2 A fuse as near the battery switch as possible.) Then, whichever battery is selected by the battery switch is the battery that supplies the power for the meter.

Caution:With this option, if the battery switch is turned off, the meter is de-powered and this resets amp hours to zero. Therefore the battery switch should never be turned off except when leaving the system for a long period of time. When the system is returned to service you must resynchronize the meter by fully charging the battery.

Another option for the TERMINAL #4 RED WIRE is to install a separate on/off switch in it before it connects to the terminal board. Just remember to turn off the meter when leaving the system unattended. (Amp hours will be reset to zero when the unit is repowered.)

TERMINAL #5 <<See TERMINAL #4 above for options>>

BLUE WIRE (B1V) supplies Battery #1 voltage to the Link 2000-R for sensing. It should be supplied directly from Battery #1 positive. Be sure to install the 2-amp fuse shown in the drawing as near the battery as possible.

TERMINAL #6 <<if one battery to be monitored, jumper TERMINAL #5 & #6>> VIOLETWIRE(B2V) supplies Battery #2 voltage to the Link 2000-R for sensing.

It should be supplied directly from Battery #2 positive. Be sure to install the 2-amp fuse shown in the drawing.

PROGRESS CHECK #1

The wires hooked up so far allow you to check the voltage monitoring functions. Install the fuse that supplies TERMINAL #4 - Red Wire (+12 V / +24 V) and carefully plug the ribbon cable into the Monitor Terminal Board, note the connector index key and be sure the pins are lined up correctly.

From now on you may de-power the meter by unplugging the ribbon cable. If you remove the fuse that supplies TERMINAL #4 - RED WIRE with the ribbon cable plugged in, you must be careful when reinstalling it. It must be a deliberate action. If the power to the meter is turned on and off in less than five-second intervals it can cause the microprocessor to interrupt its initialization process. De-powering and re-powering by using the ribbon cable avoids this problem.

Check each of the battery voltages. It is best to have a separate, accurate digital voltmeter to compare the voltages shown on the Link 2000-R against the actual battery voltage. They should be within a few hundredths of a volt. If they are not, check your voltage sense lead fuses and fuse holders. Any problems must be resolved before proceeding. If you have questions, call your dealer or Xantrex Technology Inc.

Unplug the ribbon cable before proceeding, or remove the fuses in the wires to terminals #4, 5, & 6 before continuing.

See "Required Reading" in the LINK 2000 installation manual regarding the special

care required in the installation of the shunt and its wiring.

TERMINAL #7 - Jumper to TERMINAL #9 for single bank current measurement. GREEN WIRE (B1SHG) which is connected to the SMALL SCREW ON THE GROUND SIDE, OR LOAD SIDE, of the Battery #1 shunt (B1SHG). This wire must be located exactly as described to ensure accuracy of current measurements. This GREEN

WIRE AND ORANGE WIRE attached to Terminal #8 should be a twisted pair.

TERMINAL #8 - Jumper to TERMINAL #10 for single bank current measurement. ORANGE WIRE (B1SHB) is connected to the SMALL SCREW ON THE BATTERY SIDE of the battery #1 shunt (B1SHB). This wire should be located exactly

as described to ensure accuracy in current measurements.

NOTE: If only one current input is used, jumper terminals #7 & #9 together and terminals #8 & #10 together. This hookup will display the same current information for both the Battery #1 and #2 selection.

TERMINAL #9

BROWN WIRE (B2SHG) is connected to the SMALL SCREW ON THE GROUNDED, OR LOAD SIDE, of the battery #2 shunt (B2SHG). The TERMINAL #10 YELLOW WIRE and TERMINAL #9 BROWN WIRE should be a twisted pair.
