T Series Data Sheet
500 Watt AC-DC Converters
Temperature Sensors T
The T Series battery chargers exhibit a cell voltage selector
switch Z to set the required floating charge voltage at 20 °C
directly at the converter. If this Z switch is used, the 2.23 V/cell
sensor types should be selected in any case as a basis, and
the selection criteria are only the temperature coefficient and
the nominal voltage of the battery. For example, if a 24 V
battery is used, which has a cell voltage of 2.23 V and a cell
temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/K, the sensor type is S24-
2.23-35-02. The setting on the Z switch should be 2.23.

For T Series converters without Z selector switch, a sensor
according to both criteria should be selected. In our example it
should be S24-2.23-35-02.
The active temperature sensor T is of robust construction,
mounted into a sealed aluminium tube of 12 mm outer
diameter and 50 mm length. The sensors are waterproof
(IP 66) and high-voltage tested with 1.4 kVDC. Connection
should be done via the colored 3 wire cable to the output of the
converter (Vo+ and Vo–) and the remote control input i/Vcr (pin
28).
Caution: Wrong connection may damage the sensor and the
converter.
Note: Battery specific sensors with cell voltages from 2.23 V up to
2.32 V and temperature coefficients from –2 up to –4.5 mV/K per
cell or different cable lengths are available upon request.
Note: For installation of batteries, see VDE 510 as well as the
recommendations of the battery manufacturers.
