Introducing the CAN.bus temp sensor
Regulates the charging voltage, irrespective of the temperature.
Required f or LiFePO4 lithium systems in combination with buck-boost DC-DC converters.
General description:
The CAN.bus temp sensor is an accessory that is specif ically developed for all models of buck-boost DC-DC
converters.
The temperature is transmitted to the buck-boost DC-DC converter via a communication cable via the CAN-
bus communication ports
The CAN.bus temp sensor can also be used in combination with any Victron Multi or Quattro. This enables
the charging voltage to be regulated in line with low temperature.
For LiFePO4 lithium systems, this sensor is necessary in many system applications, due to the fact that
LiFePO4 batteries must not be charged up when they are too cold. Charging lithium batteries at or around
freezing point will cause permanent damage to the cells.
Applications:
•Temperature-dependent charging voltage
regulation at (excessively) low temperatures
General characteristics:
•Battery temperature monitoring
•Supply voltage 4..36VDC
•Electricity consumption 60mA (@13.6V)
•Output to switch off heavy user
•LED status indicators
•CAN.bus for control purposes and buck-boost
converter and/or Quattro, MultiPlus and Venus GX
communication
•Alarm output

Safety at the electrical connection of the product
DANGER!
Risk of fatal electric shock!
•When working on the electrical system, make sure that someone isaround who can
help in case of an emergency.
•When installing on boats:Improper installation of electrical appliances on boats can
cause corrosion damage to the boat. Have the productconnected by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING!
•Provide a sufficientcable intersection.
•Mount the cables so that they cannot be damaged by doors or hoods. Crushed cables
can lead to life-threatening situations,and should be replaced.
•Install the cablesin such a mannerthat they cannotbe tripped over, and any damage to
cables is excluded.
CAUTION!
•Use wire conduits if cables are to be routed through sheetwalls or other feedthroughs
with sharp edges.
•Do not combine an AC cable and DC cable in the same channel (wire conduit).
•Do not loosen the conduits or sharply kink them.
•Attach the cableswith the right materialsand tools.
•Never pull the cables, take sufficiently long cable lengths of sufficient intersection in
relation to its length.
Safe use of the product
WARNING!
If the product is used in environments with lead-acid batteries,the room should be well
ventilated.Explosive hydrogen gas is released from these batteries, which can be ignited by
electric sparks.
CAUTION!
•Do not use the appliance
– in a salt-containing,damp or wetconditions
– nearby aggressive vapours
– near flammable materials
– in explosive environments
•Before use, check that the cables and connections are dry.
•Always disconnectthe power supply when working on the product.
•Parts of the productmay still be energized after the producthas been disconnected.
•
Do not disconnectcableswhen the productis still in use.
CAUTION!
•Prevent the productfrom being covered orbeing installed in a space that is too small.
•Provide proper ventilation.

Safety when handling batteries
WARNING!
Batteries maycontain harsh and corrosive acids.Avoid anyand all physical contact with the
battery fluid.In case of skin contact with battery fluids,wash the affected areasof the skin with
water.
In case of injuriesdue to acids, please be sure to consulta physician.
CAUTION!
•When working with batteriesdo not wear metal objects such as watches or rings.
•Lead-acid batteriescan cause short-circuitcurrents that can lead to serious burns.
Risk of explosion!
•Wear protective gogglesand safety clothing when working on batteries.When working
with batteries,do not touch your eyes .
•Do not smoke and make sure there are no sparks nearbythe engine orthe battery.
•Do not attemptto charge frozen or defective batteries.In this case, place the battery in
a frost-free room and waituntil the battery is at ambienttemperature.Then start the
loading procedure.
CAUTION!
•Use only rechargeable batteries.
•Use sufficientcable intersections.
•Secure the positive cable with a fuse.
•Prevent metal parts from falling on the battery. This mayresultin sparks or short-
circuiting of the battery and other electrical parts.
•Pay attention to the correct polarity when connecting.
•Please observe the battery and equipment manufacturers’ instructions listed in
corresponding manuals.
•In case the battery needsto be removed,alwaysdisconnectthe ground connection
first. Then disconnect all other connections and disconnectall consuming points from
the battery before removing it.

Installation
Important!
Basic settings
When using the device for the first time, the following basic settings must be applied:
Programming the threshold value
• Connect the CAN-bus temp sensor to an 800C/1600 using the CAN-bus cable
• Tick checkbox 80 and enter the desired parameters
• Click on “Send all settings to converter”
• No more than 4 seconds later, the green LED on the CAN-bus temp sensor will flash 3 times to confirm
Af ter starting up the 800C/1600 or after a reset, it will take no more than 4
seconds before the CAN-bus temp sensor sends a CAN message to the converter.
Until a message has been received, the words “no signal” may be displayed in the
TSConfig monitor window.
If the connection to the CAN-bus temp sensor is lost (due to a cable break), the 800C/1600
will indicate “no signal” no more than 12 seconds afterwards. If this happens, the
temperature threshold programmed in on the 800C/1600 will not be used
to limit the charging voltage.
Setting the CAN-bus temp sensor as a stand-alone module
If the CAN-bus temp sensor is being used as a stand-alone module, a temperature (alarm) threshold value
must be programmed first of all.
Programming a threshold value can only be carried out using an 800C/1600 and TSConfig Software.
Alarm
If the temperature has reached the threshold value (= converter off), the converter will be switched off
(switching on will be blocked).
The block will not be lifted until the temperature has risen above the alarm threshold for a period of 5
minutes.
