• Black/White twisted pair connects directly to the battery bank being monitored:

BLACK/WHITE TWISTED PAIR

White to BAT (-)

Black to BAT (+)

An appropriate fuse—with a rating of 5 amps or less and greater than 100 volts DC—may be placed in the black conductor

Wiring Block Connections

Color-coded twisted pair 18 AWG connects the wiring block and shunt(s) or battery. The wiring must be installed with the proper polarity to avoid corrupting the data.

The wires connected to the wiring block should match the color-coded label where the wiring block inserts into the FLEXnet DC.

•Green and White/Green

•Orange and White/Orange

•Blue and White/Blue

•Black and White

6’ twisted pair wires with #8 forked spade terminals connected to the shunts

10’ twisted pair wire with 5/16” ring terminals connected to the battery bank

The wiring block can accommodate #12 AWG to #26 AWG (2.5 mm2 to .20 mm2) wire with a strip length of 1/4” (6 mm).

Torque Values

•Five inch-pound maximum torque on each terminal block screw
