Installing the Fiber Optic Cable
Every module within the system must have a fiber optic cable connected to properly communicate its
data. To allow the system to auto and successfully configure itself during startup, the order in which
these modules get connected is important. Every battery string that is monitored will have one UXSM
module. This must be the first module of each string when connecting the fiber optic. Depending on
what type of system is being installed, the UXSM module may be internal or external to the UXCM.
Follow the appropriate diagram below.
When cutting the fiber optic cable to length, the ends must be properly cut and polished to achieve best
reliability with communications. Follow the instructions with the polishing kit.
