" Terminate the Black/White wire at TEMP SENSOR (+) and the Black wire at
TEMP SENSOR (-), as shown.
# To ensure reliable connections at the battery temperature sensor terminal blocks, torque the
clamp-screws 0.4 – 0.6 Nm (3.5 – 5.3 lb-in).
$ Use cable-ties (not supplied) and the provided cable-tie holes on the cable support bracket to tie
down the battery temperature sensor cable.
On APS3-061 power systems, there is a cable-tie hole on the bracket behind the battery
cable clamp, to tie down the battery temperature sensor cable.
Mounting the Battery Temperature Sensor
The battery temperature sensor is designed to measure the average ambient temperature
around the batteries. It is important to mount the battery temperature sensor at a location
that truly reflects the average ambient temperature of the batteries.
Attaching the battery temperature sensor to the battery stand (centered and above the
batteries) may provide the most reliable temperature reading.
If possible, avoid:
• Placing the battery temperature sensor on top of battery cases.
• Attaching the battery temperature sensor to battery cables, terminals or interconnecting
bars.
• Exposing the battery temperature sensor to direct sunlight and drafts from the air-
conditioning system or open windows.
• Running the battery temperature sensor cable along power or earth cables.
