2.3 Optional Accessories
The following accessories are available for purchase
separately from your authorized Morningstar dealer:
Remote Temperature Sensor (Model: RTS)
The RTS measures battery temperature for accurate
temperature compensation and is recommended when
the ambient battery temperature differs from the ambient
controller temperature by more than 5º C. The standard
cable length is 33 ft (10m).
NOTE:
The use of a Remote Temperature Sensor is
strongly recommended. Controller location, air flow, and
system power can drastically affect the local temperature sensor
reading. An RTS will provide optimal charg
ing performance.
Ground-fault Protection Device (GFPD-150V)
As a safety measure, the GFPD-150V detects power source
ground faults and interrupts current.
