Installing a Battery Temperature Sensor
A battery temperature sensor (BTS) option can easily be installed in the system to
ensure proper charging of the batteries based on temperature. Installing a BTS
extends battery life by preventing overcharging in warm temperatures and
undercharging in cold temperatures.
To install the Battery Temperature Sensor:
1. Run the battery temperature sensor wire in the DC conduit (if used) and route
the RJ11 connector end to the BATTERY SENSE port located on the front of
the inverter.
2. Secure the sensor to one of the batteries located in the center of the battery
pack.
