The next four wires are for the dual battery shunt sense leads.

installation manual regarding the special care
required in the installation of the shunt and its 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 monitor terminal board. 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, the
BROWN WIRE
(B2SHG), is connected to the SMALL SCREW ON
THE GROUNDED, OR LOAD SIDE, of the battery #2 shunt (B2SHG).
Terminal #10, 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.
PROGRESS CHECK #2
Now it is time to check the battery current function. Plug the meter's ribbon cable
into the Monitor Terminal Board or insert the fuses. Turn off all DC loads and charging
sources. With everything off select Battery #1 or #2 Amps, 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 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 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 Heart Interface.
The battery monitoring functions of the meter now are fully operational.
The battery monitoring and inverter/charger functions of the
LINK 2000-R
may be
operated independently of the alternator regulator functions. Simply unplug the 8 conductor
phone cord between the Monitor Terminal Board and the Ideal Regulator Output Module
to disable the regulator. The alternator will freewheel harmlessly.
