Thermal Probes
Without thermal probes, many of the controller’s battery management features will not function,
or will produce erroneous results. Some features requiring thermal inputs are:
• Slope Thermal Compensation
• Reserve Time Prediction
• High Temperature Alarm
• High Temperature Disconnect
The controller supports both analog and digital thermal probe inputs. Analog signal probes
connect to the controller at the P3 temperature probe connector or TB2 terminal block. The first
thermal probe connects to P3 and three more probes may be connected to TB2 by cutting of the
connector. If more than four thermal probes are required, a 210E Thermal Probe Multiplexer can
be connected to the P3 connector for an additional 8 probes. The 210E monitors the probe
temperatures and reports the highest temperature to the controller. See Section 8 for thermal
probes and cable options. See Product Manual 157-010-202 (Thermal Probe Multiplexer) for
ordering and installation of a 210E and associated cables.

There are also QS873 VT 1-Wire thermal probes that use the P7 1-Wire connector on the
controller.
