4. Attach the strap thermistor to the strap halfway
between the
BROWN
and
ORANGE
wires by first
drilling a 5/32” pilot hole in the strap. Attach the ring
terminal of the thermistor to the strap using one of the
provided stainless steel screws and tighten using a
5/16” nut driver or socket.
5. Attach the
BLUE
wire to the positive post or strap of
the 6
th
battery cell from the negative post of the
battery (12V) by first drilling a 5/32” pilot hole in the
center of the inter-cell connector strap. Attach the
ring terminal of the lead to the strap using one of the
provided stainless steel screws and tighten using a
5/16” nut driver or socket.
6. Attach the
RED
wire to the positive post of the battery
by first drilling a 5/32” pilot hole in the center of the
post. Attach the ring terminal of the lead to the battery
terminal using one of the provided stainless steel
screws and tighten using a 5/16” nut driver or socket.
7. Drill a ½” hole in the lid of one of the cells near the
center of the battery (refer to figure 2). Choose a cell
that is at least 4 cells from the negative post of the
battery (>8V).
Ensure the area under the cell lid is
clear to the moss shield before drilling.
Trim the lead
water probe using wire cutters so that the tip will be
approximately 1/8” above the moss shield after
installing the probe. Press the probe grommet into
the hole.
8. Drill a ½” hole in the lid of another cell near the center
of the battery (refer to figure 2).
Ensure the area
under the cell lid is clear to the moss shield before
drilling.
Adjust the thermistor cable in the grommet so
that the probe will be just above the moss shield after
installing the thermistor.
DO NOT CUT THE
THERMISTOR.
Press the probe grommet into the
hole.
