Battery Temperature Probe Installation 
 
The temperature probe is used to monitor the battery string temperature.  To get the most 
representative temperature measurement, the probe should be placed in contact with a battery 
cell that is centrally located.  The probe should be placed directly in contact with the cell (not the 
frame surrounding the cell).  Generally, the cell cover can be used; be careful not to allow the 
probe body to touch the terminals.  Plug the connector end of the temperature probe into J410 
of the backplane card.  Route the cable as required positioning the probe on the selected 
battery cell.  Remove the adhesive protection strip from the probe body and press the adhesive 
side of the probe on the battery cell cover.  Refer to Figure 3.4-3 for details. 
 
Note:  Program Hardware battery temperature alarm to Ignore if no battery temperature 
probe is connected to J410.
