Battery Temperature Compensation During Charging
Requires optional Battery Temp Sensor.
Connection
Connect the Battery Temp Sensor to the IMC Series’
™
connector in the Connection compartment observing the
correct polarity. The lead with the red band is positive.
Place the temperature sensing ring lug over the battery terminal screw. The temperature ring lug should be the
lug closest to the head of the screw or nut. Since the ring lug is electrically isolated, it may be placed on either
the positive or negative lead of the battery that will be connected to the IMC Series
™
.
Operation
Once connected, the IMC Series
™
will automatically detect the Battery Temp Sensor within one minute and ad-
just the output accordingly to optimize the battery charging. It will take at least one complete cycle of the display
to show the battery temperature.
The Battery temperature will be shown on the bank voltage display screen. If the temperature is not displayed,
check for proper polarity and connection.
The Battery Temp Sensor will adjust the output voltage to the battery based on the temperature measured. The
output voltage may be slightly greater or less than the Max Output Voltage. As the battery temperature changes,
the IMC Series
™
will optimize the charge automatically.
With regard to Max Output Voltage, at higher temperatures, the output voltage is slightly reduced. At lower tem-
peratures, the output voltage is slightly increased.
