PLICSMOBILE • Mobile network unit PLICSMOBILE T81
55234-EN-191217
The battery cable joins PLICSMOBILE B81 with PLICSMOBILE T81.
It is available with 5/10/25 m length. Connect the cable as shown in
the wiring plan. Make sure that the terminals of both instruments are
connected 1 : 1 via this cable.
1. Make sure that the switch on the upper side of the cover is set to
"OFF"
2. Unscrew the central fixing screw, e.g. with a coin. Then you can
remove the battery cover.
3. Insert the four batteries/accumulators into the battery compart-
ment. The respective polarity is printed at the bottom of the
compartment but also in the battery cover.
4. Place back the battery cover to the battery compartment. Make
sure that the position is correct, the battery cover can only be at-
tached in one direction.
5. Push the battery cover slightly downward on the points marked
with "PUSH" and screw in the central fixing screw.
6. If all components are connected completely, you can set the
switch on the upper side of the battery cover to "ON".
7. When using non-rechargeable batteries, their capacity should be
specified so that the remaining time can be displayed correctly.

6.3 Solar panel PLICSMOBILE S81
Via the solar module PLICSMOBILE S81, the accumulators of
PLICSMOBILE B81 can be charged and the PLICSMOBILE T81 pow-
ered with energy. You can find the technical data of the solar module
and the ordering information in the annex of this manual.
The module holder with pipe clamp is shipped completely assembled.
Two module terminals with fixing screws and slot nuts for fixing the
solar module are part of the scope of delivery.
Note:
The tube holder of the solar module is suitable for tube diam-
eters of 30 … 60 mm (1.2 … 1.4 in). If the PLICSMOBILE B81 or
PLICSMOBILE T81 should be mounted to the same tube, a tube with
ø 60 mm is required.
Fasten the PLICSMOBILE B81 close to the solar module to avoid un-
necessary voltage loss on the cable.
Installation procedure
1. Mount the solar module by means of the module terminals to the
module holder as shown in the following illustration.
2. Mount the complete solar unit by means of the mast holder to the
respective mast.
3. If necessary, mount the PLICSMOBILE T81 and the
PLICSMOBILE B81 also to the same mast, as shown in the fol-
lowing illustration.
