Battery Temperature Sensor

Installation Instructions

Additional Battery Temperature Sensors (Part #: 808-0232-01) can be installed on

your XC Series or BC Series battery charger. Xantrex recommends that you install

Battery Temperature Sensors on all banks to protect your batteries and to provide

optimal charging of each bank. See the label on the outside of the package for

other Xantrex products compatible with this battery temperature sensor.

Installing Battery Temperature Sensor

To install a BTS:

1. Switch off all devices operating from the battery.

2. Connect the ring terminal on the sensor directly to the negative battery stud,

or use the adhesive backing on the sensor back to attach the sensor to any side

of the battery to be monitored.

Xantrex recommends you mount the sensor directly on the battery stud as it

will be more reliable against vibration and will provide a good thermal

connection to the battery as well.

3. Route the sensor cable to the charger and plug it into the Bank 1 (default if

using only one BTS), Bank 2 or Bank 3 connector on the rear panel.

It may be advantageous to temporarily apply a layer of tape around the

connector to protect its locking tab from catching on something during pulling

and routing.
