Introduces the function and characteristics of the CAN.bus temperature sensor, and its application scenarios.
This manual explains how to install and use the Victron Energy CAN-bus Temp sensor, which regulates charging voltage based on temperature for LiFePO4 battery systems. It connects via CAN-bus to buck-boost DC-DC converters and compatible Victron devices like MultiPlus or Quattro. The sensor features LED indicators for status and an alarm output for temperature thresholds.
Safety instructions cover electrical hazards, proper mounting, battery handling, and cable installation to prevent damage or injury. Technical specifications include voltage range, current consumption, and physical dimensions.

It regulates charging voltage based on temperature for LiFePO4 battery systems, especially when used with buck-boost DC-DC converters.
Green LED flashes 1x every 4 seconds when temperature is above threshold; red LED flashes 3x every 4 seconds if no valid threshold is set.
It supports a supply voltage range of 4 to 36VDC.
