Cable is available at auto and marine shops. * A short heavy-duty battery cable to run from one shunt bolt to the battery. * 2 in-line fuse holders with 2-amp fuses.ĬAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL FUSES UNTIL YOU COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 10–15. Ask your dealer for Xantrex Technology PN 84-2014-00 - 25' 4 twisted pair cable or PN 84-2015-00 - 50' 4 twisted pair cable (not included). * #18 or #16 twisted pair shunt wire long enough to reach from the battery to the meter location. Make sure you have all the parts you'll need to complete the job: * Wire stripper/crimper and a small flat blade screwdriver. * An adjustable 9/16" wrench for shunt bolt connections. * A 3/8" drill with bits to run power and shunt wiring. * A 2" or 2 1/16" (52 mm) hole saw to make the panel cutout. If your installation is on a 12 or 24 volt system, let's get to work!įirst, gather all the tools you'll need for installation. You need to read this section if you're working on an electric vehicle or system where more than 50 volts is encountered. Because the Link 10 will work on systems up to 500 volts, special high voltage installation techniques are discussed beginning on page 44. The -100 means 100 amp hours have been removed from your battery.įOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES WHEN YOU HAVE DISCHARGED 50% OF THEIR AMP HOUR CAPACITY.īasic installation of the Link 10 on a 12 or 24 volt system involves only five wires. Therefore, if you have a 200 amp hour battery, you should recharge when the Link 10 shows -100 in the amp hour display. 10 amps times 20 hours equals 200 amp hours (200 Ah).įor maximum life you should never discharge more than half the rated capacity of a battery. A battery that delivers 10 amps to a load for 20 hours before battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts, is considered a "200 amp hour" battery. Marine and RV deep-cycle battery capacity is based on their 20-hour discharge rate. A battery that delivers one amp for one hour has delivered one amp hour. The Link 10 monitors battery voltage and current over time to report amp hours consumed and time remaining- precisely the information necessary to maximize system performance.īatteries are rated by amp hour capacity. The Link 10 uses sophisticated microprocessor technology to report all significant battery information. The Link 10 provides all the key data you, or your technician, need to make decisions about battery use and charging. A battery (or bank of batteries) may be storing less energy than you think. They may also be damaged by under-charging. Please leave it with the meter!īatteries can be ruined by excessive discharge. Installer's Note: This manual contains operating instructions. However, there are many advanced features and functions, so please take the time to read and thoroughly understand this manual. The installation of the Link 10 is simple, as is its operation. If you wish the Link 10 to support an external Low Battery Alarm, such as a bell or buzzer, or if you need the Link 10 to report data to a computer or data logging unit, these options must be included at the time of manufacture and cannot be retrofitted in the field. You can also email Xantrex at For warranty and technical support please follow the process outlined on page 52.
