Planning the Installation
10
• The shunt sense leads must be 18AWG twisted pair
wires.
• Install fuses within seven inches (18cm) of the battery.
Color-Coded Wiring
To avoid confusion during installation, Xantrex recommends
that you buy wires that have the same color coding as shown
in Figure 2.
Twisted Pair Wires
If you wish, you can make your own twisted pairs by twisting
together two wires with a twist every inch. If you make your
own twisted pair, wrap tape around the wires every twelve or
sixteen inches (30 to 40cm) to keep the wires together and to
make them easier to pull through holes and raceways.
Separate Engine Starting Battery
In order to monitor start battery voltage, you need to connect
a sense lead from the Link 1000 terminal block to the positive
battery terminal of the starting battery. This procedure also
requires a 2 amp fuse and fuse holder. See step 6 on page 16
for installation details, and see page 33 for information about
turning this function on.
