The Light Bar
The light bar shows state-of-charge at a glance.
Here's what the lights mean:
When you press the button, you
SELect a numeric display. In normal
operation, each press illuminates a sta-
tus light. The light indicates volts are
being displayed, the light indicates
amps, indicates amp hours, and
indicates time. We’ll explain these terms
on the next page.
The Button
For shortest charging times,
lead acid battery in marine or
RV service is normally dis-
charged 50% then recharged
to 85–90% of full. Restoring
thelast10–15%of afullcharge
requiresalongtime—typically
2–3 hours. This means only
35–40% of your battery ca-
pacity is actually available
for normal use. Occasionally
discharging a battery more
deeply is perfectly acceptable.

Volts is electricity’s poten-
tial to do work. Voltage
helps assess approximate
state-of-charge and to
check for proper charging.
A 12 V battery is consid-
ered 100% discharged
when it drops below 10.5 V.
Amps is the present flow
of current in or out of your
battery. For example, a re-
frigerator may draw 6.2
amps of current. This is
displayed as -06.2-06.2
-06.2-06.2
-06.2 (6.2
amps are being con-
sumed).
Time is an estimate of
how long your battery
will sustain a load. A
Time display of 3.7
hours means you have
approximately 3 hours
42 minutes of operating
time remaining.
Amp hours consumed
represents the amount
of energy removed
from the battery. If you
run a 10-amp load for
one hour, the Link 10
will show -10.0 in the
display.

Introduction
Congratulations! The Xantrex Link 10 is the most advanced (Patents
Pending) DC power measurement instrument available. It shows you:
Battery State-of-Charge on a multicolor light bar.
System voltage accurate to 1/20th of a volt (<20 VDC).
System current accurate to 1/10th of an amp (<40 amps).
Amp hours removed from, or put into, your battery.
Time of operation remaining until recharging is required.
For installation and operation questions, please contact Xantrex at 1-800-
670-0707 (toll free) or 1-604-422-2777 (direct). You can also email Xantrex
please follow the process outlined on page 52.
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 manufac-
ture and cannot be retrofitted in the field.
The installation of the Link 10 is simple, as is its operation. However, there
are many advanced features and functions, so please take the time to read
and thoroughly understand this manual.
Installer's Note: This manual contains operating
instructions. Please leave it with the meter!

Why monitor a battery?
Batteries can be ruined by excessive discharge. They may also be dam-
aged by under-charging. A battery (or bank of batteries) may be storing
less energy than you think. The Link 10 provides all the key data you, or
your technician, need to make decisions about battery use and charging.
How does the Link 10 work?
The Link 10 uses sophisticated microprocessor technology to report all
significant battery information. 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.
What's an amp hour?
Batteries are rated by amp hour capacity. A battery that delivers one amp
for one hour has delivered one amp hour. Marine and RV deep-cycle bat-
tery capacity is based on their 20-hour discharge rate. 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. 10 amps times 20 hours equals 200
amp hours (200 Ah).
For maximum life you should never discharge more than half the rated
capacity of a battery. Therefore, if you have a 200 amp hour battery, you
should recharge when the Link 10 shows -100 in the amp hour display. The
-100 means 100 amp hours have been removed from your battery.
FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, RECHARGE YOUR
BATTERIES WHEN YOU HAVE DISCHARGED 50%
OF THEIR AMP HOUR CAPACITY.
Battery Basics

Basic installation of the Link 10 on a 12 or 24 volt system involves only
five wires. Because the Link 10 will work on systems up to 500 volts,
special high voltage installation techniques are discussed beginning on page
44. You need to read this section if you're working on an electric vehicle or
system where more than 50 volts is encountered. If your installation is on
a 12 or 24 volt system, let's get to work!
Installation Planning
First, gather all the tools you'll need for installation. We recommend:
* A 2" or 2 1/16" (52 mm) hole saw to make the panel cutout.
* A 3/8" drill with bits to run power and shunt wiring.
* An adjustable 9/16" wrench for shunt bolt connections.
* Wire stripper/crimper and a small flat blade screwdriver.
Make sure you have all the parts you'll need to complete the job:
* A 500 A–50 mV shunt (included)
* #18 or #16 twisted pair shunt wire long enough to reach
from the battery to the meter location. 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).
* 2 in-line fuse holders with 2-amp fuses.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL FUSES UNTIL YOU
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 10–15.
* A short heavy-duty battery cable to run from one shunt bolt
to the battery. Cable is available at auto and marine shops.
* Assorted small-gauge crimp type terminals for connecting
the power, shunt, fuses, and voltage sense leads.

Mounting
Our Patent Pending "Ratchet Ring" makes mounting easy and fast.
TIP: When installing from the front of a
panel or dashboard slide the Ratchet Ring
onto cable with correct orientation
and then connnect
the wires.

Push Ratchet Ring on
until firmly in contact
with panel.
The gasket around the ring
of the Link 10 should pro-
vide an adequate seal
against moisture. If a sealant
is used be sure it is silicone
so that the Link 10 may be
removed without damage.
CAUTION!
Orient ring so the ratchet
teeth will engage properly.
Practice installing and re-
moving ring before final
assembly. Considerable
force is required—this
ensures the ring will not
loosen over time.
Install the meter from the front of your
panel. The panel thickness may range from
1/16" to 1 1/2". Slip the locking ring on
from the rear and press forward until its
teeth hold the meter securely in place.
