BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The optional SensorLug battery temperature sensor (RVPP part number 930-0022-20) is used to control
charge voltage based on measured battery temperature. The SensorLug is electrically isolated and mounts directly to
any battery terminal. Note that connections are polarized (red/black), and must be connected as shown in Figure 3. For
temperature compensation to operate, it must be enabled as described in the Setup section.
INTEGRATING WITH BATTERY MANAGER 6210
Install Solar Boost 2000 as described above, and setup the operating mode for the desired Battery Manager
6210 components. The 6210 six pin control cable which connects between the 6210 control panel and the 6210 AC
charger unit(s) as described in the 6210 manual must route through Solar Boost 2000 as shown in Figure 5. Up to five
Solar Boost 2000’s can operate from a single 6210 control panel. To connect more than one Solar Boost 2000, the
wires of the six pin cable must be paralleled and feed the 6210 control in connector of each Solar Boost 2000. Any of
the Solar Boost 2000’s can provide the control out function to an AC charger unit. Note that for a 6210 AC charger to
operate there must be a 6210 control panel in the system.
The desired six pin cables can be provided by RV Power Products, or can be constructed from available
components. The cable(s) are pin-to-pin straight through, i.e. pin-1 to pin-1, pin-2 to pin-2, etc. for all six pins.
Connectors, pins and crimping tools can be purchased in small retail quantities from Mouser Electronics at 800-346-
6873 or on the web at www.mouser.com. Each connector end requires one connector P/N 538-39-01-2060, and six
pins P/N 538-39-00-0039. Use 22AWG wire or larger. Cables should be no longer that 30 feet.
