Battery Temperature Probes
Temperature probe kits are ordered separately.
3.3 meter – P/N 556155
10.3 meter – P/N 552992
Optional Temperature Probes
Features
Up to two (2) temperature probes can be connected to the IB2 (controller Interface Board). Up to two (2)
additional temperature probes can be connected to the optional EIB (controller Extended Interface Board). Any
combination of the four (4) temperature probes can be programmed to monitor ambient temperature and/or
battery temperature. In addition, the SM-TEMP can be cascaded up to (8) units, connecting up to (64)
additional temperature probes. In total, a maximum of (68) probes can be connected via ACU+ or NCU
monitoring. A temperature probe set to monitor battery temperature can also be used for the rectifier battery
charge temperature compensation feature, or the battery charge temperature compensation feature can be
programmed to use the average or highest value of all battery temperature probes.
The battery charge temperature compensation feature allows the controller to automatically increase or
decrease the output voltage of the system to maintain battery float current as battery temperature decreases
or increases, respectively. Battery life can be extended when an optimum charge voltage to the battery with
respect to temperature is maintained. A temperature probe set to monitor battery temperature can also be
used for the BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway Management) feature. The BTRM feature lowers output voltage
when a high temperature condition exists to control against battery thermal runaway.
A temperature probe used for battery charge temperature compensation or BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway
Management) should also be mounted on the negative post of a battery cell.
A temperature probe programmed to monitor ambient temperature should be mounted in a convenient
location, away from direct sources of heat or cold.
•
The temperature sensor end of the probe contains a tab with a 5/16” clearance hole for mounting.
Restrictions
A temperature probe programmed to monitor battery temperature should be mounted on the negative post of
a battery cell to sense battery temperature.
Ordering Notes
1.
Order temperature probes as required. Note that each temperature probe consists of two pieces which
plug together to make a complete probe (see the following illustration). For a complete temperature
probe, order one (1) P/N 552992 (10.3 meters) or one (1) P/N 556155 (3.3 meters). If additional length is
required, order temperature probe extension cable P/N 04119122 (10 meters).
2.
If more probes are desired, order one or more SM-Temp Temperature Concentrator, P/N 547490.
