4.3.2.1 Installing Battery Sensor Cables 1. Attach the appropriate end of the battery sensor cable to the tabs on the U-type battery terminal tabs. 2. Plug the battery sensor cable into the battery sensor connector. 4.3.2.2 Creating Custom Length Sensor Cables IMPORTANT: You must use an RJ-22 crimping tool.
4.3.2.3 Addressing Battery Sensors Power Light 1. Make sure the sensors are secured on the batteries, and confirm the power light in the lower left corner is green. COM1 2. To use the Address Modifier (provided): • Connect the connector wire to the Address Modifier and COM1 of the sensor.
4.3.3 Connecting BCU & String / Battery Sensor COM Ports a. COM1 Ports on the BCU: • Facing BCU COM Ports. COM1 left port to either String Sensor Port. • Facing BCU COM Ports. COM1 right port to COM 2 port of the last battery sensor in String 1 (or String 2 if configuring two strings).
4.3.3.1 Connecting String Sensor COM Ports (Series) NOTE: This wiring method uses the same COM port where in String 2, battery sensors must continue numeric sequence. STRING 1 STRING 2 First BAT Last BAT First BAT Last BAT String 1 String 1 String 2 String 2...
4.3.4 Connecting BCU & String Sensor Power IMPORTANT: These terminals are at the far end of the terminal strip, to the left of J1. • RED (+) on left. • BLACK (–) on right. String Sensor • String (12–13 VDC - @ 1 W - from the BCU): •...
4.3.6 Connecting BCU To Power Supply 1. Wire the input power cables to the input ports of the power supply. 2. Wire the cables of the 2-pin connector to the output of the power supply. 3. Wire the input power to the necessary input power. 4.

Commissioning NOTE: If BCU is already networked, you can access the BCU by directly connecting over the same network as the BCU using Chrome®, Firefox™, or Safari®. Connecting A PC To The BCU The Web Browser Interface of the BCU is accessible through PC via a network connection.
5.1.2.2 Checking Ethernet Communication 1. Locate the Ethernet port on the BCU. 2. Verify the orange RX light (right side of the Ethernet port relative to the connector clasp in the down position) is flashing to confirm data is being received. 3.
5.1.2.5 Configuring TCP/IP Settings On The PC 5.1.2.5.1 If “Obtain An IP Address Automatically” Is Selected If “Obtain an IP address automatically” is currently selected in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box: 1. Select the “Alternate Configuration” tab. 2.
Once the password is set, if it is forgotten, the user will need to use a backup code or wait to login until Franklin Electric Technical Support is able to assist the user with resetting it. For further information on backup codes, see § 4.9.3.
