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. The tab washer style, location and quantity depend on whether the system is
monitoring cell temperature. The actual placement of these tab washers in relation to the battery post
and existing hardware is critical. In instances where a single tab washer is required, this should be placed
closest to the cell post and underneath the double tab washer. The following figures illustrate some
common applications.

To determine tab washer placement, refer to the Configuration Connection Diagram at the back of this
manual. Locate the desired configuration that will be installed and refer to the appropriate row of tabs:
"for optional Cell Temperature" or "for no Cell Temperature." There is an actual image of the tab washer
required. Using the wiring diagram above the tab washer image, install the appropriate tab on each
required post.
