Additional Components
Remote Temperature Sensor (TS-R): Measures the
temperature at the battery and uses this data for very accurate
temperature compensation. It is not polarity sensitive.
Remote Battery Voltage Sensor (RBVS): Measures battery
voltage accurately. The voltage detected at the battery terminals
on the controller may differ from the real battery voltage due to
the connection and cable resistance. Therefore, this sensor,
though not required, is recommended for best performance. It IS
polarity sensitive
USB to RS-485 Converter: The USB to RS-485 converter is
used to monitor each controller on the network using Solar
Station Monitor PC software and update the firmware. It
connects to the RS-485 port on the controller. Download the
PC software through Renogy’s website under the “Downloads”
section
Optional Components
Optional components that require a separate purchase:
External Battery (RTC): Allows for the access to the charge controller’s saved settings,
charge accumulation, and discharge accumulation without connecting to a deep cycle
battery. It keeps track of the date/time (once set) for automatic equalization processes.
