Installing the Inverter/Charger
Mounting to the Side of the Battery Case
To mount the sensor on the battery case:
1. Select the battery to be monitored.
The BTS should be connected to the battery bank that is directly
connected to the inverter/charger.
2. Select a side suitable for attaching the sensor.
The surface where the sensor is to be mounted must be flat and free
from reinforcing ribs or other raised features. This surface must be in
direct internal contact with the battery electrolyte. Do not install the
sensor near the top of the battery or on the battery’s top surface.
3. Clean the selected area thoroughly to remove any oil or grease that
could prevent the sensor from adhering to the battery case. Allow the
battery case to dry thoroughly.
4. Peel the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip on the rear of
the sensor.
5. Press the sensor firmly against the clean side of the battery to fix it in
place, as shown in Figure 9.
6. Route the sensor cable to the inverter/charger and plug it into the
Battery Temp. jack, as shown in Figure 8. Secure the cable along its
length.
