To connect the BTS cable to the battery:
1. Connect the RJ11 connector to the back of the Battery Monitor as indicated
in Figure 2-9, “Wiring the Battery Monitor” on page 2–17.
2. Connect the BTS connector either by bolting it directly to a battery terminal
along with the other connections or by removing the sticker on the bottom of
the BTS connector and sticking it directly to a surface on the battery. The two
methods are shown in Figure 2-14.
Note: If multiple charge controllers or a complete Power System with Conext
XW+ Inverter/Chargers are networked together using Xanbus, then only one BTS
is required per battery bank. All networked devices share battery temperature
information, and you can connect the BTS to a charge controller or a Conext
XW+ Inverter/Charger. If more than one BTS is used within the system, then the
highest reported temperature from all of the units with an attached BTS will be
used as the battery temperature for the temperature compensation value of the
battery charge algorithm. For a large battery bank, installing the BTS at the
hottest area of the battery bank is recommended.
