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.
