2: Voltage (+2) second battery group 
Optional connection of a voltage measurement of a second battery group (starter battery), this is 
then displayed as a second battery group on the monitor. 
 
3: T-: Minus temperature sensor (brown wire) T +: Plus temperature sensor (blue wire) 
Optional temperature sensor (Temp-BT) for recording the battery temperature. The temperature 
sensor should be fixed on the outside of the housing of the battery. The temperature sensor has no 
active influence on the capacity calculation or charge, but is for information only. 
 
4: LIN bus communication with display 
The BLS monitor communicates with the Shunt SHE 300 and the ACE charger via this cable 

3.3. Interface ACE-LIN (optional part) 

To communicate with the BLS monitor with an ACE charger, an ACE-LIN interface must be inserted 
in  the  ACE  charger.  For  the  ACE  12/60  and  ACE  24/30  models,  the  integrated  monitor  must  be 
removed and replaced with the ACE-LIN interface. 
 
Removal of the front charger cover and preparation of the cable gland. 
 

    

 

 

Remove cover  

 

 

Break out the metal tongue with a pair of flat-nose pliers 

 

         

      

 

Inserting the rubber cable grommet    

 

 

Insert the cover and the cable 

 
Inserting the interface board ACE-LIN 
 

 

Make sure the ACE charger is disconnected from the AC 
mains before starting work.
