Mounting to the Negative Battery Terminal
To mount the sensor on the negative battery terminal:
Figure 9 BTS Mounted on the Negative Battery Terminal
1. Select the battery to be monitored. The BTS should be
connected to the battery bank that is directly connected to
the inverter/charger.
2. Switch off all devices operating from the battery, or open
the battery switch (if present) to disconnect the battery.
3. Wait 10 minutes for any explosive battery gases to
dissipate.
4. Remove the nut that connects existing wiring ring terminals
to the battery negative terminal stud.
5. Move or reorient the existing wiring ring terminals on the
battery negative terminal stud, so there is a flat surface on
which to seat the BTS mounting plate.
6. You may need to bend the ring terminal crimp and/or wires
slightly downward to allow the sensor to seat flush to the
top surface of the upper ring terminal.
7. Mount the sensor directly on top of the ring terminal (as
shown in Figure 9 ) and firmly tighten the terminal nut.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Install the DC wire on the battery terminal, then install the sensor on
top of the DC wire. This sequence is required to provide the best
connection to the battery and to ensure correct performance of the
sensor.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage
.
8. Check to ensure that the sensor and all wires are held firmly
and cannot be moved.
9. Turn the battery switch on again (if you opened it in Step 2.)
10. Route the sensor cable to the inverter/charger and plug it
into the blue BTS port (as shown in Figure 10 ). Secure the
cable along its length.
