Installation Considerations

Planning the Installation

❐2 strain reliefs (cable clamps) for the wires and phone cable coming out the back of the control panel

❐Anti-corrosive spray

❐High current shunt. If your starter current exceeds 500 amps for more than ten seconds, you will need a heavy duty (1000 amp) shunt instead of the 500 amp shunt that is supplied with the Link 1000. (You can also use a separate engine starting battery whose negative is connected directly to the engine.) The heavy duty shunt part number is 84-2-13-00.

Tools

❐Wire cutter and stripper

❐Small slot head screwdriver (for the screws on the terminal block)

❐Phillips screwdriver (for the control panel mounting screws)

❐Needle-nose pliers

❐9/16 in. wrench to secure cables to the shunt

Installation Considerations

Safety

•If you are using flooded lead-acid batteries, install them in a separate battery compartment.

•Wiring should be in accordance with NEC, ABYC, or other applicable national or regional codes.

Performance

•Do not connect anything other than the shunt to the negative battery terminal. Connect all other loads and sources to the load side of the shunt. (See Figure 2.)
