2.5 Battery Temperature Probes
Adjusting the battery’s float or equalize voltage to
correspond with temperature fluctuations ensures
maximum battery performance and life expectancy.
The CXC’s built-in automatic temperature
compensation function adjusts the system every ten
minutes as the temperature changes and changes the
voltage by a maximum of 0.1 V during this interval.
A battery probe from a single string can be connected
to pins #18 and #20 of the AMPS24 HP 40-pin
connector. Figure 6 shows the connection of two
battery probes where pins #14 and #16 are used for
the second probe.
Connection Procedure
1. Use needle nose pliers to remove the terminal
block.
2. Connect the battery temperature probes,
3. To calibrate the temperature probes, refer to
Analog Signal Calibration in the CXCU manual or
to the alpha website (www.alpha.ca): Technical
Documentation > Method of Procedures
> Cordex > Controller > Calibration –
Temperat ure (web interface).
4. Complete the Batteries > Battery Pro pert ies
