• Parameter Setup Menu Map at Fig 4.2: Screen 5
• Programming range and defaults: Screen No. 5 of Table 4.3
• Programming procedure: Section 4.4.2.5
In addition to compensating Absorption, Float and Equalization voltages, the voltage thresholds of parameters “LOW
VOLTAGE ALARM”, “BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE”, “RESET VOLTAGE”, “BATTERY OVER VOLTAGE” and “RESET TO
BULK” are also temperature compensated.
5.5.2 Constructional Details of Battery Temperature Sensor Model EVO-BCTS and Installation
The Temperature Sensor consists of 5 meters / 16.5 ft cable with Temperature Sensor Head for the battery end [1 in Fig
2.5(a)] and RJ-45 Plug [2 in Fig 2.5(a)] for EVO end.
Temperature Sensor Head [1 in Fig 2.5(a)]: The Temperature Sensor Head is installed on the Positive / Negative
battery Stud [Fig 2.5(b)] to monitor the temperature of the battery electrolyte. The Sensor Head contains an embedded
Negative Temperature Coefcient (NTC) Resistor with 2 internal terminals “NTC+” and “NTC -”. Internal terminal
“NTC+” is wired to Pin 4 of the RJ-45 Plug [2 in Fig 2.5(a)] and internal terminal “NTC -” is wired to Pin 5 of the RJ-45
Plug.
RJ-45 Plug [2 in Fig 2.5(a)]: The RJ-45 Plug is required to be plugged into the RJ-45 Jack marked “Battery Temp
Sensor” on the front panel of EVO (6 in Fig 2.1). Pinout of this RJ-45 Jack is shown in Fig 5.0.
