Installing the Optional Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS)

Xantrex strongly recommends that you install the optional Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) to protect your battery and improve charging accuracy. If no BTS is connected, the charger can be set to one of three charging temperature settings (Cold, Warm, or Hot). See “Installing Optional Accessories” on page 2–25for directions on how to use the charger without a BTS. Regardless of its previous setting, if the BTS connection is lost, the charger will default to Warm in the next charging cycle.

To install a BTS:

Note: If there are multiple batteries, attach the BTS to the battery that is located in the warmest ambient temperature.

1.Switch off all devices operating from the battery.

2.Connect the ring terminal on the sensor directly on to the negative battery stud, or affix the double-sided adhesive backing to the sensor back and attach the sensor to the side of the battery to be monitored.

3.Route the sensor cable to the charger and plug it to the BTS port on the rear panel.

Important: To minimize noise interference, the remote and BTS cables should be routed away from the AC mains line and DC battery cables.

Also, if the BTS is unplugged after a battery over temperature fault, the charger will stop charging. Use the onboard display to set the appropriate temperature setting to restart charging.
