Product catalog summary
Description
The Temperature Sensor is designed to measure the temperature of alternators or batteries and communicate the data to compatible regulators such as the E-MAAX CSR, PRO, and PLUS series. It is mounted directly onto the alternator or battery using an 8mm (5/16”) lug. The sensor's LED indicates temperature status through flashing sequences: once every 2 seconds for normal range, once per second at the upper safe limit (Battery=40°C, Alternator=90°C), and three times per second at maximum temperature (Battery=50°C, Alternator=100°C). Black anodized sensors are for batteries, while silver anodized sensors are for alternators.

Temperature Sensor Datasheet 1. Description The Temperature Sensor measures temperature of alternators or batteries and reports the measured values to the connected regulator. It is compatible with E-MAAX CSR, PRO, and PLUS series regulators. The Temperature Sensor is designed to be mounted directly onto alternator or battery on a temperature representative surface via 8mm (5/16”) mounting lug. When mounting, care must be taken to provide good mechanical contact between the sensor and the surface for adequate heat transfer. Sensor’s electrical circuits are isolated from its housing. Sensor’s LED provides a visual indication of the temperature state by the sequence of flashes. Temperature in the normal operating range, the indicator flashes once in 2 seconds. As the temperature reaches the upper safe operating limit for the device (Battery= 40°C, Alternator=90°C), if flashes once a second. When the temperature reaches the maximum (Battery= 50°C , Alternator=100°C), it flashes 3 times in a second. Sensors anodized black are for the batteries. Sensors anodized silver are for the alternators. 2.
