Step

Action

5.

Place the first probe to the battery post (as in the picture in Step 3).
Note: Probes are typically installed one per string, located in the center of the string.

6.

Verify the number of probes (1) registered with the controller with command:
MENU > STATUS > BATTERIES > TEMP PROBES PRESENT.

7.

Connect either the 848719803 (5-ft) or the 848719811 (10-ft) cable to the 2-position receptacle
of the first probe and to the 3-position receptacle of another probe.

8.

Verify the number of probes (2) registered with the controller with command:
MENU > STATUS > BATTERIES > TEMP PROBES PRESENT.

9.

Repeat Steps 7-8 for each probe until all probes are installed.

10.

When all probes are installed, verify they are connected and operating with command:
MENU > STATUS > BATTERIES > TEMP PROBES PRESENT.

The controller is now ready to take thermal measurements in performing slope thermal
compensation and battery high temperature disconnect. Additional parameters may be set
on the controller to customize this feature.

Install Battery VT Probes with Voltage Monitoring

The figure below shows the interconnection of the maximum number of VT-Probes for
both voltage monitoring and thermal compensation.

All 16 batteries are shown as being monitored for thermal compensation and all four
strings are being monitored for voltage imbalance by the probes in the middle batteries of
all strings.

If your actual interconnection only requires monitoring one battery in each string, the
middle battery in each string should be used when both the voltage imbalance and
thermal compensation features are desired.
