We've got the Xantrex Link 2000 working - right or not?! - 2012

We installed the Xantrex Link 2000 into the nav station routing the wires through the big hole as the one I made was just too small.
This does not make any difference as the big hole we made did not exist when we made the small one.  The Link 2000 wiring harness is plenty long enough.

May 2012 - Currently at Marina Cortez in San Diego, CA

We routed the wiring harness we created (twisted pair etc) to the battery compartment under the settee. 

Snaked the harness over to the shunt.

Then we cut the wires to length and put solder less terminal ends on them. The black wire the terminal end was a bit of an odd ball so a close one in size was used. Same for the blue to batter post size. These will eventually need changing.

The bummer was I cut the wires a bit too short on the twisted pair and the black wires. The way we wanted to rout them is not going to happen till we extend them a couple feet.

 The shunt is up-side-down from the older manuals schematic.

Also I think the battery ground cable needs moving over to the other side of the shunt.

We then wired the Link 2000 to the terminal block and it fired right up!

With the light switch off. The button lights still show when the light is off though.

Light on, I know lousy pictures 😔

 

Turned off the Xantrax Freedom Inverter\Charger button as it is not connected yet.

 All in all it went well. The wires need extending but when we hook up the starting battery the twisted pair to the shunt need reversing so we will extend them then.
 The numbers displayed by the Link 2000 look reasonable. The set up needs running to enter in our anp hr 
capacity and the "Peukerts Exponents" need to be figured out and set. That does not seem easy. They do have examples for some major brand batteries of old like Trojan but the PO bough a different brand. 
 Till we get our AGM we will just punt on this one I think. I is for time reaming.
