Freedom SW 230V Installation Guide
Installing the Inverter/Charger
Mounting to the Side of the Battery Case
To mount the sensor on the battery case:
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. Select a side suitable for attaching the sensor.
The surface where the sensor is to be mounted must be
flat and free from reinforcing ribs or other raised features.
This surface must be in direct internal contact with the
battery electrolyte. Do not install the sensor near the top
of the battery or on the battery’s top surface.
3. Clean the selected area thoroughly to remove any oil or
grease that could prevent the sensor from adhering to the
battery case. Allow the battery case to dry thoroughly.
4. Peel the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip
on the rear of the sensor.
5. Press the sensor firmly against the clean side of the
battery to fix it in place, as shown in Figure 13.
6. Route the sensor cable to the inverter/charger and plug it
into the Battery Temp. jack, as shown in Figure 12.
Secure the cable along its length.
