Brand: Samlexpower

Model: DC-BTS-A-C

Type: Owner's manual

Samlexpower DC-BTS-A-C is a battery temperature sensor designed for use with Samlex Solar Charge Controller Model No. SCC-30AB. It senses the temperature of the battery installation and sends this information to the Charge Controller, which automatically adjusts its voltage to ensure proper battery charging depending on the ambient temperature of the battery installation. The sensor consists of a sensing element that is embedded in a ring terminal. This sensor is attached to 10 meters of two wire, color-coded cable.
