Remote Temperature Sensor Manual

SunSaver Duo Temperature
Sensor Installation Instructions
Secure the Remote Temperature Sensor lug to one of the battery 1.
posts. The RTS lug is electrically isolated. (note: DO NOT place
the sensor inside the battery cell)
Route the RTS cable to the SunSaver Duo. Protect the cable with 2.
grommets and wire loom as necessary. Excess cable can be trimmed
as necessary. If needed, strip away approximately 0.25” of insula-
tion from each conductor.
Insert one (1) RTS conductor into each terminal on the dual ter-3.
minal block labeled “Remote Temp.” as illustrated. Note that polar-
ity is not important.
Secure the conductors in the terminal block using a fl at head or Philips screwdriver.4.
TriStar MPPT Temperature
Sensor Installation Instructions
Run the temperature sensor cable down the wire con-1.
duit. Be sure to feed enough wire to allow for adjust-
ments.
Pull the temperature sensor cable into the TriStar 2.
MPPT wiring compartment. A ferrite clamp is included
with the RTS. Place the ferrite clamp over the RTS
cable approximately 4” ( mm) from the end. Loop the
cable back over the ferrite clamp once and then squeeze
the two halves together until they snap.
Inspect the cable end. There should be two conduc-3.
tors with tinned ends. If needed, strip away approxi-
mately 0.25” of insulation from each conductor. Insert
one (1) conductor into each terminal on the dual termi-
nal block labeled “REM. TEMP” as illustrated. Note
that the temperature sensor is not a polar device. Either
conductor can go into each of the terminals.
Secure the conductors in the terminal block using a 4.
fl at head or Philips screwdriver.
The temperature sensor is electrically isolated. For 5.
best results, bolt the temperature sensor lug to one of
the battery terminals. (note: DO NOT place the sensor
inside the battery cell)
