![]() ![]() The LinkPRO and LinkLITE are equipped with an internal programmable alarm relay, to run a generator when needed or to turn off devices when the battery voltage exceeds programmable boundaries. A second battery input is also provided to monitor voltage on a second battery bank. In addition, there is no equivalent meter being made, since the Link 10 is the only meter able to measure more than about 36 volts because it uses a pre-scaler. There are no longer any in stock at Xantrex. ![]() The problem is that the Link 10 is no longer made - or replaced - or repaired. Using a clear backlit LCD Display and an intuitive user interface, all parameters can be recalled with just a button press. In working order, please note - there is some cracking of the vinyl fascia around the sel button, hence the lower price. I must say that they worked very hard to take care of my issue. The LinkPRO and LinkLITE selectively displays voltage, charge and discharge current, consumed amphours, remaining battery capacity and the LinkPRO also displays the time remaining of your battery bank. ![]() A new shunt selection feature enables the LinkPRO and LinkLITE to measure currents up to 10,000 and 1,000 amps respectively. ![]() High performance measuring circuits, along with complex software algorithms, are used to exactly determine the remaining battery capacity. Twisted pair wire is used for shunt sensing leads for noise immunity. Xantrex LINK 10: Owner's Manual Brand: Xantrex Category: Monitor Size: 1.23 MB Pages: 60 This manual is also suitable for: Marine instruments. This exercise may also help you understand the wiring better.ĭon't throw out the Xantrex, my bet is that it really does work.Defining the amount of energy available in a battery is a complex task since battery age, discharge current and temperature all influence the actual battery capacity. The Xantrex Link 10 works with flooded or gel lead-acid batteries The 500 A 50 mV shuntsensescurrent in or out of your battery. I know my batteries are fully charged but the Link 10 shows them not to be (just one flashing red bar). My question has to do with my Xantrex Link 10, which is acting goofy. of solar with a magnum 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter, and 3 AGM's. Disconnect the existing connections of the battery bank to the alternator and the engine block then wire up the alternator to the battery through the shunt with temporary cables so that you can see it operate. I have a 2000 Dutchstar DP that has 480w. I suggest you need to bring it back to the basics. I know it can be very confusing following someone else's wiring around and even more difficult in a boat. My engine start battery is cabled separately to the Alternator so its -ve goes to the engine block (my alternator -ve is not isolated) but the "house battery" bank which is being monitored by the Link 10 goes from the engine block to the shunt then to the -ve. I always know what is going into or out of my batteries. I have a Link 10 system which I installed myself 4 years ago and apart from small tweaks to special set-up parameters to better match my batteries for calculation of the %charge display, I have found it to be the best thing since sliced bread. It sounds to me like there is some other connection from the ground/block of the engine to the -ve of the battery being measured which electrically bypasses the shunt for alternator charging purposes. Remember the -ve terminal of the battery bank being measured must be the ONLY cable to the low side of the shunt and no other connection to the -ve terminal other than the cables which may go to the -ve terminal of batteries in parallel for the battery bank being measured. There must be an alternative current path from the alternator to the -ve of the battery bank. After all, the Xantrex is just a highly sensitive voltmeter reading voltage drop across the shunt and converts that to a current display. Somehow the current from the Alternator is not passing through the shunt. I agree with PVB, if it measures current from the battery charger then it is most unlikely to be the instrument but more likely the electrical position of the shunt. ![]()
