3.4.3.4 Mounting the Battery Temperature Sensor
A 40-foot battery temperature sensor cable is shipped with your device. This three-wire cable carries a voltage signal
to the power supply from a sensor element which needs to be mounted in close proximity to the storage battery.
Voltage is proportional to the battery temperature and is used by diagnostic circuitry in the power supply module.
The 40-foot cable can be extended to a total length of 190 feet using 50-foot extensions (Motorola part number
3084827Y04. See
8.5 Using Motorola System Support Center (SSC), page 8-8
The sensing element of the temperature sensor needs to be mounted so that it detects the actual battery temperature
(or the ambient temperature as close as possible to the batteries being charged). There are two examples of mounting:
Example 1
Use cable ties to attach the sensing cable to the positive (or negative) power cable. A minimum of two cable
ties should be used (spaced 6 inches apart), with one of the cable ties not more than 2 inches from the sensing
element. The sensing element itself should be not more than 2 inches from the battery post where the power
cable connects. See
.

Battery Temperature Sensor Example 1
Example 2
Attach the sensing cable to an existing battery tray support bracket using cable ties or nylon loop straps of the proper
size. The sensing element should be placed so that it is not more than 2 inches from the surface of the batteries
being monitored. A minimum of two cable ties and/or loop straps should be used to secure the sensing cable to the
bracket. The cable ties/ loop straps should be placed no more than 6 inches apart with one placed no more than
2 inches from the sensing element. See
