Description
Morningstar Remote Temperature Sensor RTS.
Morningstar's Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) provides very accurate battery charging in solar systems that experience temperature variations during the year. The RTS is recommended whenever the temperature of the battery varies more than 5°C (9°F) during the year.
The RTS is compatible with:
- SunSaver MPPT™
- SunKeeper™
- SunSaver Duo™
- ProStar™ whenever the temperature at the battery will be more than 5°C (9°F) different than the temperature at the controller.TriStar™ for battery charging or diversion control modes (not for load control mode)
For maximum protection from harsh environments, the sensor is encapsulated in epoxy inside a power lug housing. The RTS is also protected from lightning surges and short circuits.
