Battery Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS)
Tools Needed:
Adhesive Tape
Procedure:
1. Attach the RTS Probe to the inner side of the center battery
in the UPE-M3 enclosure with adhesive tape (see Fig. 1-4).
2. For enclosures with multiple battery strings, the RTS must be located
with the WARMEST 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.
3. The other side of the RTS Probe is attached to the front panel of the
XM Series 2 power supply, in the UPE-M3 enclosure.
