Connecting a Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor should
be connected to the T+ and T-
terminals in the green terminal
block (under the lid, above the top
left corner of the LCD screen).
The sensor wire with the stripe
goes to the T– terminal and the
sensor wire without the stripe
goes to T+ terminal. The wires
may be extended if necessary
without affecting the accuracy.
Note
: The PLTB (bolt-on metal
lug) has no electrical connection to
metal lug lug housing, so it can be
connected to either the negative
or positive battery terminal.
Non-Autosense should be used if battery temp likely to go below 0˚C
