Power Hub Temperature Reports
The first indication of overheating may be the appearance that the PV arrays are “not producing any
power” when they should be. If this is the case, check the temperature.
Note:
The Power Hub user interface will also report 0 VDC charging current when the System
batteries are fully charged.
The Power Hub LCD user interface reports two (2) temperatures:
1. The “Internal Temperature” is measured by a thermister directly on the charge controller. This
value is reported in the BAT TEMPERATURE window:
See Advanced Information Menu Windows in the Power Hub Operator Manual for directions to
navigate to this window.
2. The “Battery Temperature” is measured by a Battery Temperature Sensor that is located inside
the Power Hub.
Note:
THIS IS NOT REPORTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BATTERIES but rather the
temperature inside the Power Hub case. This value is reported independently for each of the
three (3) charge controllers inside the Power Hub.
See the Power Hub Manual for instructions on how to navigate the View Charge Status
submenus for instructions on how to navigate to these windows.
If either of the temperatures reported from these two sensors is greater than 104 ºF (40 ºC),
the Power Hub performance will be degraded

PRO-Verter Temperature Reports
The PRO-Verter user interface reports a range of temperatures in the first submenu after pushing the
TECH button. Like the Power Hub, the battery temperature sensor (BTS) is inside the PRO-Verter
case and not in the batteries.
