Manufacturer: Morningstar Corp
Manufacturer Part#: RTS
The
RTS "Remote Temperature Sensor" is recommended whenever the temperature
of the battery varies more than 5°C (9°F) during the year.
Key Features and Benefits
Cable length: 10 meters (33 feet)
Accurate to +/–1.5°C (2.7°F)
Extendable cable length
Wide temperature correction range –30°C (-22°F) to +80°C (+176°F)
Wires are non-polarized
Sensor noise is filtered
Morningstar Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS)
Morningstar's Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) provides improved battery charging in solar systems that experience temperature variations during the year. The RTS measures temperature at the battery and the controller uses this data for very accurate temperature compensation. Use of the RTS is recommended whenever the temperature at the battery will be more than 5°C (9°F) different than the temperature at the controller. The TriStar has no on-board temperature compensation; therefore the use of the RTS is required for temperature compensated charging. Other Morningstar controllers will default to an on-board temperature sensor if a RTS is not connected.
