I have an old Heart 2000 inverter/charger with the Link 2000 controller. I went to the boat a couple of weeks ago and the display was frozen. Nothing was working, so I disconnected the power to the Link and when I reassembled the wiring it's like the minus sign is stuck in the on position. The batteries are reading -13.65 volts (for instance) and when the charger is running the current draw is -20 and when the charger is off and the refer is running with some lights the draw is 6 amps or so. So I removed the battery cables entirely for about 5 minutes and reattached them. No joy.
I then attempted to "set to factory defaults" which did nothing to alleviate the problem. The manual is no help. And no I didn't reverse any leads. I removed the blue and purple leads (I think) and put them back in the same place. I have a terminal strip mounted near the controller with the terminals marked with the correct colors. At no time did I remove a ground wire. I do not leave the charger on when I'm off the boat. I have 190 watts of solar that keeps the batteries up. The bilge pump is the only thing that draws current when I'm away from the boat. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? Does anyone know where I might get one repaired if it comes to that? Thanks, Jim. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardonline.com To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardonline.com The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveaboard@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
