Introducing the Link 1000 Introducing the Link 1000 The Link 1000 gives you complete remote control of the Freedom 458, Freedom, and Freedom Marine Inverter/ Chargers. It also lets you monitor the performance of your battery power system. Inverter/Charger Control Functions From the Link 1000 control panel, you can: • Turn the invert function on and off • Start or end an equalization cycle • Activate the Power Share feature. This automatically lowers the charger’s output to prevent AC breakers

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

Planning the Installation • 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
