    System Installation Considerations 6.6 Battery String Isolation Warning: Isolate the battery string prior to installing the system. Important!: Never attempt installation on a battery string that is in service and not fully isolated from the DC bus and load circuits. 6.7 Cell/Monobloc Number 1 Identification When referring to any material in this installation guide and reference is made to an actual cell number, always consider Number 1 as the most positive end of the battery with respect to the battery charger.
  • Page 23: Installation Of Tab Washers

    Installation of Tab Washers 7. Installation of Tab Washers Tab washers allow connection of the monitoring system to the battery. Some tab washers are supplied with single or double tabs. These types are for use on cells that have exposed connections not restricted by safety covers.
  • Page 24: Unit Configuration

    Table 3 - Digital Input Modes Seven Jumpers are supplied with the UXTM for configuration. There is a pair of 2-pin jumpers associated with each digital input, which must be set according to the mode desired. The cover of the unit must be removed to gain access to these jumpers.
  • Page 25: Rs-485 Termination

    Unit Configuration The location of the jumpers is shown in the figure below. Figure 4 - Digital Input Jumper Locations 8.2 RS-485 Termination A jumper on the circuit board is used for selecting a termination resistor for RS-485 connection. In most cases, RS-485 termination is not necessary because maximum baud rate is 19200 bps (default is 9600).
  • Page 26: Power Setting Selection

    Unit Configuration 8.3 Power Setting Selection The power setting indentifies what load input wires will provide power to the equipment. There are three possible settings described in the chart below. In the chart, the battery configuration is defined as Number of Strings x Number of Jars/Cells x Voltage of each Jar/Cell. Battery Configuration Power Setting 1X18X1V...
