DESCRIPTION

Victron Type C Temperature Sensor for Inverter RS Smart Solar and MPPT RS

Precision Battery Temperature Monitoring for Victron RS Series Inverters and Charge Controllers

The Victron Type C Temperature Sensor (ASS000020000) is a dedicated spare or replacement sensor engineered for the Victron Inverter RS Smart Solar and Victron MPPT RS charge controllers. It provides direct battery temperature data to your inverter or charge controller, enabling voltage compensation based on actual battery temperature. This is essential for maintaining battery health, optimising charge efficiency, and extending service life in demanding off-grid, backup, and mobile power systems.

Unlike generic sensors, this Victron Type C sensor is purpose-built for the RS series, ensuring seamless integration and reliable data transmission. It features a robust ring terminal for secure attachment to the battery terminal, a durable twin-core cable, and pre-crimped wire ferrules for quick, error-free connection to the inverter or MPPT RS unit. The clear identification tag helps confirm correct application during installation or maintenance.

Why Accurate Temperature Sensing Matters

Battery chemistry is highly sensitive to temperature. Charging a lead-acid or lithium battery without temperature compensation can lead to undercharging in cold conditions or overcharging in hot conditions, both of which accelerate degradation and reduce usable capacity. By connecting this sensor directly to the battery terminal, the Inverter RS Smart Solar or MPPT RS can adjust charge voltages in real time, protecting your investment and ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.

Key Features

  • Direct battery terminal temperature sensing for precise voltage compensation
  • Pre-crimped wire ferrules for secure, tool-free insertion into RS series terminals
  • Durable twin-core cable with colour-coded red and black insulation for easy polarity identification
  • Ring terminal lug for reliable thermal contact at the battery post
  • Clear identification tag with part number for quick verification
  • Compatible with Victron Inverter RS Smart Solar and MPPT RS models
  • Cable length can be extended if required, offering installation flexibility

Designed for Reliable Integration

This sensor is not a VE.Smart Networking device and does not transmit temperature data to VRM independently; it connects directly to the dedicated sensor input on the Inverter RS Smart Solar or MPPT RS. This wired connection ensures a stable, interference-free signal path, which is critical in electrically noisy environments such as engine rooms, inverter compartments, or industrial installations. The factory-crimped ferrules eliminate the need for field termination, reducing installation time and the risk of poor connections.

Installation and Compatibility

The Victron Type C Temperature Sensor is a direct replacement for the sensor supplied with the Inverter RS Smart Solar and is also compatible with the MPPT RS. Installation is straightforward: attach the ring terminal to the battery negative terminal (or positive if specified in your system design), route the cable to the inverter or charge controller, and insert the ferrules into the designated sensor terminals. The cable can be extended using appropriate gauge wire and connectors if the standard length is insufficient for your layout.

Protect Your Battery Investment

Whether you are commissioning a new Victron RS system or replacing a damaged sensor, the genuine Victron Type C Temperature Sensor ensures your battery charging remains accurate and safe. Avoid the risks of generic sensors that may not provide the correct resistance curve or mechanical fit. Choose the component designed and tested by Victron for optimal compatibility and long-term reliability.

WARRANTY

Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy

Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user. In addition to this proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.

During this period, Victron Energy will, at its option, repair or replace the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation and re‐installation. This warranty will be considered void if the unit has suffered any physical damage or alteration, either internally or externally, and does not cover damages arising from improper use like: • Reverse of battery polarity. • Inadequate connection. • Mechanical shock or deformation. • Contact with liquid or oxidation by condensation. • Use in inappropriate environment (dust, corrosive vapor, humidity, high temperature, biological infestation...). • Breakage or damage due to lightning. • Connection terminals and screws destroyed or other damages, like overheat, due to insufficient tightening. • For any electronical breakage except due to lightning (reverse polarity, over‐voltage due to external cause), the state ofthe internal control diode and of the inputs/output X and Y capacitors determine the warranty.

This warranty will not apply where the product has been misused, neglected, improperly installed, or repaired by anyone else than Victron Energy or one of its authorized Qualified Service Partners. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or modified.

Repair or replacement are our sole remedies and Victron Energy shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, incidental,special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault.

Victron Energy owns all parts removed from repaired products. Victron Energy uses new or reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and building replacement products. If Victron Energy repairs or replaces a part of a product, its warranty term is not extended. In case of replacement the new component has a warranty of 6 months, without effect on the initial warranty period. All remedies and the measure for damages are limited to the above. Victron Energy shall in no event be liable for consequential, incidental, contingent orspecial damages, even if having been advised of the probability of such damages. Any and all other warranties expressed or implied arising by law, course of dealing, course of performance, usage of trade or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase.
