Inverter/Charger User's And Installation Guide

Planning the Installation

❐ 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.)
