and fuse holders. Any problems must be resolved before proceeding. If you have
questions call your dealer or us. Unplug the ribbon cable before proceeding, or remove
the fuses in the wires to terminals #4, 5, & 6 before continuing.
The next four wires are for the battery shunts sense leads.
See Required Reading LINK 2000 installation manual regarding the special care
required in the installation of the shunts and their wiring.
Terminal #7 is the 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. The
wires that run from the Battery shunt sense terminals to the GREEN AND ORANGE
wires should be a twisted pair.
Terminal #8 is the ORANGE WIRE (B1SHB) which 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 is the BROWN WIRE (B2SHG) is connected to the SMALL SCREW ON
THE GROUNDED, OR LOAD SIDE, of the battery #2 shunt (B2SHG). SEE ABOVE
CAUTIONS.
Terminal #10 is the YELLOW WIRE (B2SHB) is connected to the SMALL SCREW
ON THE BATTERY SIDE of the Battery #2 shunt (B2SHB). The YELLOW and
BROWN wires should be a twisted pair. SEE ABOVE CAUTIONS.
PROGRESS CHECK #2
Plug the meter's ribbon cable back into the Monitor Terminal Board.
Now it is time to check the Battery Current function. Turn off all loads and sources.
With everything off, the LINK 2000-R should read 0.0, -0.0, or no more than -0.1A. The
meter uses less than 0.1A. If there is a larger current draw it normally means that not all
the 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 OK, as long as you find
each load and decide that it is an acceptable continuous current draw. Once your base-
line current is known, remember it. If you cannot always turn off loads and reach that
number you should find out why. 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 us. The monitoring functions of the meter now are fully
operational.
The monitoring and inverter/charger functions of the LINK 2000-R may be operated
independently of the alternator regulator functions. Unplug the phone cord between the
Monitor Terminal Board and the Ideal Regulator Output Module to disable the regulator.
