36 Freedom SW 230V Installation Guide
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 13.
6. Route the sensor cable to the inverter/charger and plug it into
the Battery Temp. jack, as shown in Figure 12. Secure the cable
along its length.
