Task 7 - Mount the Battery Temperature Sensor
The APS is supplied with a battery temperature sensor and standard 2m (6.5 feet) long cable,
already connected to the IOBGP input/output (I/O) board to measure the ambient air
temperature around the batteries. This is required for the temperature compensation control
process.
Step 1 - Connect and route cable
1
Connect the temperature sensor cable supplied to socket XH7 on the I/O board.
If required extend the cable using an RJ45 patch cable and in-line joiner.
Recommended maximum cable length is 20m (65 feet) because of noise
considerations.
2
Route the temperature sensor cable to the middle battery shelf or the middle of
the external battery stand.
Do not run the sensor cable along ac supply cables. Interference may cause false
readings.
Step 2 - Fix sensor
Fix the sensor above the batteries. To avoid false readings:
•
Do not attach the sensor to a battery case, battery cables, terminals or
interconnecting bars.
•
Do not expose the sensor to direct sunlight, or air movements from
air-conditioning systems or open windows.
