3.1 Battery Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS)

Fig. 3-1, RTS Placement
For enclosures with multiple battery strings, the Remote Temp Sensor (RTS) must be located with
the warmest (normally the topmost) battery string. This ensures proper operation of the battery
charger’s temperature compensation circuit. Failure to locate the RTS with the warmest battery
string could result in overcharging and premature battery failure.
CAUTION!
