Mounting to the Side of the Battery Case
To mount the sensor on the battery case
See Figure 3-10.
1. Select the battery to be monitored (see step 1 in the preceding procedure).
2. Select a side suitable for attaching the sensor.
The surface where the sensor is to be mounted must be flat and free from
reinforcing ribs or other raised features. As well, this surface must be in direct
internal contact with battery electrolyte, so do not install the sensor on a side
near the top of the battery or on the battery’s top surface.
3. Clean the selected area thoroughly to remove any oil or grease that could
prevent the sensor from adhering to the battery case, and allow the battery
case to dry thoroughly.
4. Peel the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip on the rear of the
sensor.
5. Press the sensor firmly against the clean side of the battery to fix it in place.
6. Route the sensor cable to the PROsine and plug it into the BATTERY TEMP
jack. Secure the cable along its length.
