WIRE BY WIRE INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to the wiring diagram while using these instructions.
There are several components to
LINK 2000-R METERS
:
2) The
Ideal Regulator
Output Module:
Sup-
plied with a harness that
connects to the alternator.
There is also a phone jack
and plugs for the alternator
shunt wiring and red and
green indicator lights used
for trouble shooting.
3) The
Battery Shunt:
Dual 500A 50mV shunt
used to measure current
flowing in or out of the
batteries.
5) The
Alternator Shunt:
Single 500A
50mV shunt used to measure current
flowing out of the alternator.
6)
Four Conductor Phone Cord:
This 25' long
phone cord connects the
LINK
to the inverter/
charger. This is the smaller of the two cords.
7)
Eight Conductor Phone Cord:
This 25' long
phone cord connects the Monitor Terminal Board
to the Ideal Regulator Output Module. This is the
larger of the two phone cords.
Our Customer Service Manager says, "Be a genius, insure a
successful installation by following our wire by wire instructions
and please do the two progress checks and the final start up test."
Be sure the battery shunt is installed before proceeding.
BEGIN WITH 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 hook up. The meter comes standard with an
18" ribbon cable. Ribbon cables 48" long are available from Cruising Equipment.
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 is OK but not necessary. Do not use larger than #14 AWG,
it will make terminating the wires difficult. Use twisted pairs where specified.
Begin hooking up from the bottom of the terminal strip toward the top.
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.
Terminal #2 is not used.
These two cords are not interchangeable.
