INSTALLATION
The BSP must be mounted as close as possible to the battery. In this way, the measurement
perturbations are minimized and the temperature sensor integrated in the box gives a more
accurate measure of the battery temperature. It is not advisable to lengthen the wires (d), (c)
and (b). If absolutely necessary, the two wires (b) need to be lengthened separately in order to
guarantee a correct measuring of the current.
If the BSP has to be installed in another room, it is possible to use the temperature sensor BTS that
will be connected to the Xtender. In that case the temperature of the BTS will be automatically
taken into account for the state of charge calculation.

OUNTING
Ideally, the BSP can be stuck directly to the battery. It can also be mounted close to the battery
by means of the fixing plate supplied with (see figure 3.2 (p. 12)).
The direct mounting on the battery offers a more precise measurement of the battery
temperature. While changing the battery bank, the BSP will have to be stuck again with a new
double-side adhesive.
The BSP must be mounted to avoid any contact with acid from the battery. It should
be taken care of fixing it vertically with the communication bus connectors
downwards.
