Planning and Choosing a Location
Choose a clean, dry, protected and easily accessible indoor location.
If you mount the Battery Monitor on a wall, the recommended height is at eye
level so that you can clearly see the LCD display and have easy access to the
data ports.
All the communication ports on the Battery Monitor are accessible from the
bottom of the device when mounted on a wall, panel or DIN rail. Clearance of at
least 2 in. (50 mm) below the device is recommended to allow for the bending
radius of cables that connect to the Battery Monitor.
The following are recommended maximum cable lengths in a Battery Monitor
system:
