onto the Power Board’s EARTH terminal.
• Connect the quick-connect terminal removed from the EARTH terminal to the ‘piggy-back’
terminal on the end of the TempCo cable’s shield wire.
• Fasten the TempCo cable to existing wire harness with plastic wire ties.
9. At the battery, connect the quick-connect terminals to the TempCo probe (A10).
Connection points are not polarity sensitive. Coil up and wire-tie any excess wire to
prevent damage.
10. Confirm that:
• All connections are secure.
• Both the TempCo shield and the original ground wire are connected to the EARTH quick-
connect terminal (A2-EARTH).
• The twisted-pair wires of the TempCo cable are connected to the 2-position terminal block
on the Power Board (A2-TB8).
11. Replace the safety shield and close the front panel door.
12. Restart the ATevo.
Configuring the TempCo Option
Configuring the TempCo Option
ATevo will need to be configured to enable the TempCo probe (A10) and to select the battery
type. Refer to
for both.

12.2. Using the TempCo Option
Using the TempCo Option
When ATevo is equipped with a temperature compensation probe, it auto-adjusts output
voltage applied to the battery to keep float current constant, thereby avoiding overcharging
and undercharging. The probe senses battery temperature variation and adjusts output float/
equalize voltages to compensate. If battery temperature increases, ATevo’s output voltage
decreases. If you are experiencing any inconsistencies in ATevo when the probe is installed,
temporarily disable the TempCo Option per
.
NOTES
NOTES
• Set Float and Equalize voltages to the values recommended by the battery manufacturer
for 77 °F / 25 °C.
• When you enter or adjust Float or Equalize voltage, the front panel meter displays the 77
°F / 25 °C value, even if the battery is warmer or cooler than 77 °F / 25 °C.
• ATevo’s actual output voltage may be different from the set point, if the battery is warmer
or cooler than 77 °F / 25 °C.
• Use a digital multi-meter to measure the actual dc output voltage. Determine
temperature at the compensation probe, and use the graph in
to verify that
