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
