Temperature sensor MTIAQ

In applications with frequent and strong temperature fluctuations, the charging voltage should be adjusted accordingly to avoid battery overcharging (risk of gassing!). Likewise, especially at very low ambient temperatures (Tu < 15°C), tracking should be carried out to ensure sufficient battery charging. The MTIAQ temperature sensor monitors the ambient temperature and activates temperature tracking.

Function

Lead batteries have a temperature coefficient of approx. -3 mV per °C and cell during standby parallel operation. The final charging voltage is selected to ensure charging of the batteries in a temperature range of 15-45°C. In applications with frequent and strong temperature fluctuations, the charging voltage should be adjusted accordingly to avoid battery overcharging (risk of gassing!). Likewise, especially at very low ambient temperatures (Tu < 15°C), tracking should be carried out to ensure sufficient battery charging.

By connecting the temperature sensor to terminal strip 'IO-1' connection 1 and 2, the temperature tracking is automatically activated. According to the ambient temperature fluctuations of 0-45°C, the charging end voltage (and thus also the output voltage) varies in a range of 27.85 - 26.3 V DC. Battery temperatures above 45°C are indicated by the 'Batt OK' LED going out.
