Thermal probe
The battery charge process can be optimized by means of a thermal probe [C]
(accessory item). This device regulates the charging process in accordance with the
battery temperature. The thermal probe protects against battery overheating and
consequent permanent damage to the battery.
To connect a thermal probe, work through the following steps.
1. Disconnect the battery (if necessary).
2. Connect the thermal probe to the connector on the board [D]. If you are installing
a model which is equipped with a switching power supply (SmartLiving 1050,
and 10100L), you can connect the thermal probe directly to the power supply
connector.
3. If you are installing a SmartLiving505 or 515 model, remove the jumper on the
motherboard to enable the thermal probe (refer to
Table 4: Control panels -
description of parts, N
).
4. Using adhesive-insulating tape, attach the thermal probe to the battery [E], in
such way as to provide optimized heat-transfer measurements.
5. Hold a thermometer against the probe, and measure the probe temperature.
6. Using the following graph, find the value the measurement will be based on.
7. Using a tester, measure the voltage on the +AUX terminals and adjust the trim-
mer [F] to the previously measured value.
