DESCRIPTION
This document provides specification, installation, and operational information for the SM-TEMP Temperature
Concentrator that is designed for use in both -48V and +24V systems.
NetSure™ Power Systems can be operated in conjunction with one or more battery and/or ambient temperature
probes. With a battery probe installed and connected, the power system is designed to automatically increase
or decrease output voltage as battery temperature decreases or increases, respectively. This maintains an
optimum charge voltage to the battery with respect to temperature, thereby extending battery life.
Each SM-TEMP module receives temperature inputs from up to 8 solid-state temperature sensors (AD592B
type). These are the same temperature sensors currently connected to the temperature inputs of the SCU,
SCU+, ACU, ACU+, and NCU controllers.
The SM-TEMP module provides a 125 kbps CAN output of the temperature of all connected sensors. There are
address DIP switches to allow up to eight (8) SM-TEMP modules to operate concurrently on the same CAN
bus.
The SM-TEMP module provides an analog output of the average or the maximum (DIP switch configurable) of
the temperatures of the connected sensors. The output is a current source providing 1 μA/K. The output is
compatible with the temperature port input of the SCU, SCU+, ACU, ACU+, and NCU controllers. When multiple
SM-TEMP modules are used, the analog output of only one of the SM-TEMP modules is connected to the
controller’s temperature port input.
When used with an ACU+ (version 3.02 or later) or NCU, in lieu of connecting the analog output of the SM-
TEMP module to an ACU+ or NCU temperature port input, the SM-TEMP module can simply be connected at
the end of the ACU+ or NCU CAN bus. Via the CAN bus, the ACU+ or NCU reads each temperature probe from
each SM-TEMP module.

Accessories
NOTE! This information is provided for reference. Refer to power system documentation when ordering
these accessories.
Battery Temperature Probes
Temperature probe kits are ordered separately.
3.3 meter – P/N 556155
10.3 meter – P/N 552992
Optional Temperature Probes
Features
Up to two (2) temperature probes can be connected to the IB2 (controller Interface Board). Up to two (2)
additional temperature probes can be connected to the optional EIB (controller Extended Interface Board). Any
combination of the four (4) temperature probes can be programmed to monitor ambient temperature and/or
battery temperature. In addition, the SM-TEMP can be cascaded up to (8) units, connecting up to (64)
additional temperature probes. In total, a maximum of (68) probes can be connected via ACU+ or NCU
monitoring. A temperature probe set to monitor battery temperature can also be used for the rectifier battery
charge temperature compensation feature, or the battery charge temperature compensation feature can be
programmed to use the average or highest value of all battery temperature probes.
The battery charge temperature compensation feature allows the controller to automatically increase or
decrease the output voltage of the system to maintain battery float current as battery temperature decreases
or increases, respectively. Battery life can be extended when an optimum charge voltage to the battery with
respect to temperature is maintained. A temperature probe set to monitor battery temperature can also be
used for the BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway Management) feature. The BTRM feature lowers output voltage
when a high temperature condition exists to control against battery thermal runaway.
A temperature probe used for battery charge temperature compensation or BTRM (Battery Thermal Runaway
Management) should also be mounted on the negative post of a battery cell.
A temperature probe programmed to monitor ambient temperature should be mounted in a convenient
location, away from direct sources of heat or cold.
• The temperature sensor end of the probe contains a tab with a 5/16” clearance hole for mounting.
Restrictions
A temperature probe programmed to monitor battery temperature should be mounted on the negative post of
a battery cell to sense battery temperature.
Ordering Notes
1. Order temperature probes as required. Note that each temperature probe consists of two pieces which
plug together to make a complete probe (see the following illustration). For a complete temperature
probe, order one (1) P/N 552992 (10.3 meters) or one (1) P/N 556155 (3.3 meters). If additional length is
required, order temperature probe extension cable P/N 04119122 (10 meters).
2. If more probes are desired, order one or more SM-Temp Temperature Concentrator, P/N 547490.

Initially Starting and Checking Operation
After all electrical connections have been made and verified, perform the following procedures to start and
verify SM-TEMP operation.
Initial Startup
1. With the Power System operating, verify that the STATUS LED on the SM-TEMP is continuously
illuminated GREEN.
a) If the STATUS LED does not illuminate, check for correct voltage and polarity at terminals 1 and 2 of
TB2 and / or TB3 on the SM-TEMP.
b) If the STATUS LED illuminates continuously RED, the SM-TEMP has failed. Replace the SM-TEMP.
c) If the STATUS LED flashes red, update the temperature probe inventory by cycling output mode
switch 1 (the left-most switch) three times in rapid succession. This should restore the STATUS
LED to continuous green illumination. Note that any alarms for open temperature probes will be
permanently lost.
d) If the STATUS LED flashes green, CAN address switches 2-4 on two SM-TEMP units connected by
single CAN bus are set to the same address. Changing the switch settings on one of the affected
SM-TEMP units should restore the STATUS LEDs on both units to continuous green illumination.
2. Verify Power System output voltage is as required by the temperature of the battery. Refer to the Power
System documentation for details.
Checking the Fail Alarm

1. Unplug any temperature probe from the SM-TEMP.
a) Requirement: The STATUS LED flashes RED.
b) Requirement: External fail alarms activate (if connected).
2. Unplug all temperature probes from all SM-TEMP units
a) Requirement: Power System output voltage switches to a default setting of approximately 54.48
volts DC.
3. Plug all temperature probes into the SM-TEMP.
a) Requirement: The STATUS LED illuminates GREEN.
b) Requirement: External fail alarms reset (if connected).
c) Requirement: Control of Power System output voltage is returned to temperature probe(s) (see
Power System documentation).
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
The STATUS LED on the SM-TEMP indicates possible trouble conditions in the SM-TEMP.
• STATUS LED Does Not Illuminate: A fault in the SM-TEMP is indicated. Check for proper input voltage
(18-60 VDC) and polarity at terminals 1 (+) and 2 (–) of TB2 or TB3 on the SM-TEMP. Correct as
