By using multiple Data Management Panels, the NuScribe computer can upload or commission
many NRUs simultaneously.
The Data Management ports are hard plastic cups with 2 springs that make contact with the
NRU power pins for turning on the NRU prior to offloading or commissioning and applying a
charge voltage during offload or commissioning.
The cup connectors are numbered 1 to 8. Number 8 is always at the end of the panel that has
the ethernet ports and power connector.
Each Data Management cup connector has a TransferJet antenna built into the base, which
communicates with the NRU for downloading and commissioning via a proximity EM field.
The panel has 8 ethernet ports, corresponding to the 8 cup connectors of the panel.
Figure 23
The 8 ethernet ports connect to an ethernet switch which is used to interconnect other Data
Management Panels and the NuScribe computer.
The power connector is next to the ethernet ports. It is a 4-pin connector. Power input is 12vdc.
The panels can be wall mounted, rack mounted, or portable case mounted. See the Portable
Case chapter for information on the Portable Data Management Case.
Data Management Panel Use
To carry out NRU uploading or commissioning operations, the panel must be connected to a
NuScribe computer via the ethernet ports and switch.
The NRUs should be clean prior to loading into the panel. Muddy or wet NRUs need to be
cleaned and allowed to dry.
Once the NRUs are loaded into the Data Management ports, follow the NuScribe manual
directions for either upload or commissioning. See NuScribe manual Rack View section.
