Battery Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS)

Tools Needed:

Adhesive Tape

Procedure:

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. In this application, the RTS
MUST be attached to a battery in the upper tray of the side-car.

1.

Attach the RTS Probe to the inner side of one of the batteries
on the upper tray of the side-car with adhesive tape.

2.

The other side of the RTS Probe is attached to the front panel of the
XM2 power supply, in the jack labeled TEMP PROBE

2. Installation
