Temperature Compensation
The BC2000/JC2000 controller implements a double-slope temperature
compensation algorithm. A wide range of valve-regulated, or flooded, batteries may
be protected against damaging temperature variations. Administrator login is
required to adjust the settings in this menu, but the feature will automatically
activate temperature compensation when the environment exceeds those settings.
Up to four input connections are available for battery temperature probes. The
plant regulates output voltage based on the temperature of the hottest external
sensor.
The following figure depicts the temperature compensation scheme.

To activate the temperature compensation feature follow the steps below:
Main Menu ► Thermal ► T Comp
The following parameters are configurable:
• Status – enable or disable temperature compensation.
• Sense – determines which temperature sensor is used to activate
temperature compensation (internal or external). The typical scenario calls
for the use of an external temperature probe.
• Boost Adjust – if enabled, allows the Boost feature to activate during an
active temperature compensation state.
