COMMUNICATION 3 Tee Connector - A point for breakoff connecting Tee connectors create a point within the network backbone to add a drop cable and device. The network backbone will always be linear and may consist of any combination of backbone cables, tee connectors and a power tee. The yellow coupler on the tee connects to the yellow coupler on either side of the power tee or backbone cable.
For central monitoring and control of the connected devices, Mastervolt offers the EasyView 5 remote control panel which show full status information of your electrical system at a glance and a push of a button.
COMMUNICATION Monitoring and Configuration of the Li-ion The electric power for the network comes from the battery connected devices. To monitor the MLI-E values on a MasterBus network an At least one device in the network should have Easyview 5 remote control panel needs to be installed. To powering capabilities (see specifications).
