Planning the Installation
9
❐ 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.)
