Up to three RCC-02/-03 remote controls can be connected in series on the communication bus of
one Xtender or an Xtender multi-inverter system. In a system comprising a single Xtender, the
connection of the RCC-02 or RCC-03 may be done without stopping the Xtender (warm). When
connecting an RCC-02/-03 remote control to a multi-unit system, it is required that all units in the
system are stopped (disconnected from the batteries or by the main ON/OFF switch (1) if present)
and that the communication bus on the device to which the connection is being made is set to
terminated.
The termination switch (two switches for XTH) for the communication bus, "Com. Bus" (4)
remains in position T (terminated) except when both connectors (3) are in use. In this case,
and only in this case, the switch (two switches for XTH) must be placed in the O (open) position.

BTS-01
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The optimal operating voltages for lead batteries vary depending on the
temperature. A temperature sensor is optionally available to correct the
battery voltage and guarantee an optimum charge whatever the battery
temperature. The correction factor for the sensor is set by the parameter {1139}
Article no. for the temperature sensor (including a 5 m cable): BTS-01.
Dimensions: H x W x D / / 58 x 51.5 x 22 mm.
9.2.1
Connecting the temperature sensor (BTS-01)
The temperature sensor, BTS-01 is supplied with a 3 m cable fitted with RJ11/6-type plugs. It may be
connected or disconnected at any time (including when the device is in use) using the
corresponding socket (2) marked "Temp. Sens." on the Xtender. Plug the connectors into the socket
(2) until they click in. The temperature sensor sleeve may simply be stuck onto the battery or directly
next to it. The temperature sensor will be recognised automatically and the correction made
immediately.

R
EMOTE CONTROL MODULE
RCM-10
(XTM/XTS)
The optional remote control module for XTM and XTS gives the
possibility to have the following functions:
Main ON/OFF (1) see sect. 11.1 with a potential free contact.
Remote entry (7) see sect. 7.7 – p. 31.
This module can be mounted on DIN rail.
Article n°: RCM-10. Supplied with a 5m cable (max. length 10m).
Dimensions: 45 x 78mmH
Height on rail: 40mm
9.3.1
Connection of the RCM-10 module
The control module RCM-10 can be "hot plugged" on the
connector "RCM-10" (15) without interrupting the operation of
the unit.
The main ON/OFF function as described in Sect. 11.1 - p. 39 may
be obtained by connecting a potential free contact (1)
between terminals 1 and 2. When this contact is closed, the
Xtender is stopped.
Terminals 3 to 6 of RCM-10 are used as input control as
described in Sect. 9.3 - p.36. The function dedicated by
programming can be activated by a dry contact (7) between
5 and 6 with a connection between 3 and 4, or by an AC or DC
voltage of 60 V rms max. between terminal 4 and 5.
The function "main ON/OFF" (1) can only be controlled by a potential free (dry) contact.
