WS100/12 Product Manual
Regulator Wiring
Blue (BatteRY) CaBle —
The WS100/12 Battery Temperature Sensor cable connects the regulator
to the battery via a temperature sensor IC that’s mounted in a battery
lug which can be connected directly to the battery’s ground post. The
Battery Temperature Sensor includes a 15-foot (BLUE) Cat5e data cable
which connects to the Bat Temp RJ45 connector. When connected, the
Battery Temperature Sensor will allow the regulator to make adjustments
to charging voltage based on the ambient temperature of the batteries
being charged.
When connected to a multiple battery bank,
the Battery Temperature Sensor lug should be
located on the ground terminal closest to the
center of the battery bank. In addition to enabling
the regulator to adjust for ambient battery
temperature, the Battery Temperature Sensor
will enable the regulator to shut down if battery
temperature exceeds safe levels (>125°F).
NOTE: Do not install or remove battery or regulator temperature
sensor cable while regulator is activated.
gReen (alteRnatoR) CaBle —
The WS100/12 Alternator Temperature Sensor cable enables the voltage
regulator to reduce field (excitation) output to the alternator if temperatures
at the alternator case exceed recommended temperature levels.
The lug containing the temperature sensor IC can be mounted on a rear
case bolt, or to the ground post of the alternator. An RJ45 keystone jack
located at the bottom of the regulator is provided to connect the 7-foot
(GREEN) Cat5e data cable to the regulator.
NOTE: Do not install or remove battery or regulator temperature
sensor cable while regulator is activated.
