Temperature Sensor
Acquisition of battery temperature for undertaking temperature
compensation of control parameters, the standard length of the
cable is 3m (length can be customized). The RTS300R47K3.81A
connects to the port on the controller.
After the controller is connected with the eBox-WIFI-01 through
the standard Ethernet cable (parallel cable), the operating status
and related parameters of the controller can be monitored by the
mobile APP software through WIFI signals.
After the controller is connected with the eBox-BLE-01 through
the standard Ethernet cable (parallel cable), the operating status
and related parameters of the controller can be monitored by the
mobile APP software through Bluetooth signals.
After the controller is connected with the eLOG-01 through the
RS485 communication cable, it can record the operating data of
the controller or monitor the real-time operating status of the
controller via PC software.
MT50 displays various operating data and fault info the system.
The information can be displayed on a backlit LCD screen, the
buttons are easy-to-operate, and the numeric display is readable.

3. Installation and wiring
3.1 Installation of the controller
1) Determine the Installation Location and Heat-dissipation Space
Determination of installation location: The controller shall be installed in a place with
sufficient air flow through the radiators of the controller and a minimum clearance of
150 mm from the upper and lower edges to ensure natural thermal convection.
2) Determine the size of Installation Location (158*96mm)
3) Cut out the section (158*96mm)
4) Mark holes and drill holesφ3.5mm*4

5) Secure the controller
6) Install the control case
3.2 Wiring
Step1: connect the battery 
CAUTION: A fuse which current is 1.25 to 2 times the rated current of the
controller must be installed on the battery side with a distance from the battery not
greater than 150 mm.
