Installing the Inverter/Charger
Mounting to the Negative Battery Terminal
To mount the sensor on the negative battery terminal:
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. Switch off all devices operating from the battery, or open the
battery switch (if present) to disconnect the battery.
3. Wait 10 minutes for any explosive battery gases to dissipate.
4. Remove the nut that connects existing wiring ring terminals to
the battery negative terminal stud.
5. Move or reorient the existing wiring ring terminals on the
battery negative terminal stud, so there is a flat surface on
which to seat the BTS mounting plate.
You may need to bend the ring terminal crimp and/or wires
slightly downward to allow the sensor to seat flush to the top
surface of the upper ring terminal.
6. Mount the sensor directly on top of the ring terminal, as shown
in Figure 11, and firmly tighten the terminal nut.
7. Check to ensure that the sensor and all wires are held firmly
and cannot be moved.
