Figure 11 and Figure 12 below show possible methods of connecting inputs, outputs,
and external power to the FlowConnect system. The examples in the figures show a
FlowConnect with rechargeable batteries. If your system does not have rechargeable
batteries, the connection plate will have only two connectors, Inputs and Outputs.
See the following page for discussion of the Power, Inputs, and Outputs connectors.
