TERMINAL #10

YELLOW WIRE (B2SHB), is connected to the SMALL SCREW ON THE BATTERY SIDE of the Battery #2 shunt (B2SHB). The TERMINAL #10 YELLOW WIRE and TERMINAL #9 BROWN WIRE should be a twisted pair.

WIRINGINSTRUCTIONS

Refer to the wiring diagram while using these instructions.

There are several components to LINK 2000-R METERS:

PROGRESS CHECK #2

Now it is time to check the battery current function. Plug the meter's ribbon cable into the MonitorTerminalBoardand/orinsertthefuses.TurnoffallDCloadsandchargingsources. With everything off select Battery #1 or #2 Amps—the LINK 2000-Rshould read 0.0, -0.0, or no more than -0.1 A. (The meter uses less than 0.1 A.) If there is a larger current draw it normally means that not all the DC loads are turned off. There may be an alarm system, a clock, or other instrumentation that is left on all the time intentionally. That is

Turn on various loads and make sure there is a minus sign in front of the display which indicates discharge. If the number has no minus sign and there are no charging sources on, it means that the battery shunt sense leads are reversed. If you have a problem call your dealer or Xantrex Technology Inc. The wiring is now complete and the battery monitoring functions of the meter now are fully operational.

IDEAL REGULATOR OUTPUT MODULE WIRING

MOUNTING THE OUTPUT MODULE

The Ideal Regulator Output Module may be located anywhere convenient to the alternator that is not subject to salt or fresh water spray. The components in this module have been coated to resist corrosion but are not immune to, nor warranted against, abuse. This module has on it the FET (field effect transistor) that actually does the work of supplying power to the alternator field. While the reliability of this module is very high it also does all of the real work. The system has been designed with on-site repairability in mind, a spare Output Module or a standby regulator should be considered for long- distance cruising.

The harness that is supplied with this module is a standard alternator harness. It is keyed so that it cannot be improperly plugged into the module. The colors mentioned below correspond to the color code of the wiring harness. There is also a 25-foot 8 conductor data cord supplied to interconnect the Monitor Terminal Board and the Ideal Regulator Output Module. The following discusses each of the wires connected to the Ideal Regulator Output Module beginning from the left side of the module.

Our Customer Service Manager says, "Be a genius—ensure a successful installation by following our wire-by-wire instructions and please do the two progress checks and the final startup test."

Be sure the battery shunt is installed before proceeding.

MONITOR BOARD INSTALLATION & WIRING

MOUNTING THE MONITOR TERMINAL BOARD

The Monitor Terminal board should be secured behind or adjacent to the meter. It should be accessible and easy to see during hookup. The meter comes standard with an 18" ribbon cable.

Wiring is simplified by using our custom multiple conductor twisted pair cable available from your dealer. See LINK 2000 manual. If you supply your own cable we recommend 16 AWG. Larger wire is okay but not necessary. Do not use larger than #14 AWG,asitwillmaketerminatingthewiresdifficult.Usetwistedpairswherespecified.Use the same color scheme as on the schematic to facilitate troubleshooting if required.

Begin hooking up from the bottom (terminal #1 ) of the terminal strip toward the top.
