Further information

This controller is capable of more than what is described in this 
user manual.
For information on how to customise your regulation setup and 

set up larger systems, as well as the many additional features, 

consult the Reference Manual.   This is available from your dealer 
or can be downloaded from our website.

Accessories

These accessories can enhance the usefulness of your controller. 

External Battery Temperature Sensor (DT or DTB) 

The DT is a plastic-cased unit for direct attachment to the battery 
wall. The DTB has a bolt-on lug for attaching to the battery terminal 
(either terminal). It connects to the T+ and T- inputs on the 

green plug in terminal block under the wiring cover. See Section 

7.4.3 of the reference manual for details. 

The following accessories plug into the serial port socket. (RJ11) 

External Shunt Adaptor (DSA) 

Up to four external shunts can be added to the controller to allow it 
to measure larger currents than it is capable of measuring directly. The 

shunt adaptor measures the current in a shunt (eg SH200), converts it 

to digital information and sends that information back to the controller. 
The shunt connection is isolated so the shunt can be placed in any part 

of the circuit. Currents up to +/-250A can be read in 0.1A steps.
