6.3 Location Consideration
Drawing BDS–5274–B1054 can help aid in consideration of location and placement of the
system.
6.3.1 Check Service Access
Mount the system close to the battery, making sure it is accessible for servicing.
6.3.2 Maximum Wire And Cable Lengths
Install an insulated wire tray along the length of each battery tier, making sure it does not
interfere with cell replacement. Install the sense leads, test current leads, 24VAC cable, and
runs of wire, cable, and fiber optic cable have length limitations as follows:
♦ The maximum length for each sense lead, resistance test cable, and is 35 feet (≈10.7
meters).
CAUTION:
Do not wrap excess load cable into a coil. A tight coil will result in induction that
can adversely affect equipment operation. Leave excess cable in loose, flat
lengths.
6.3.3 Fiber Optic Cable And BDS–40 Communication Information
The BDS–40 communicates via fiber optic cable and the system forms a communication ring
network.
