Alternator temperature sensor for use with Max Charge or ARS5 regulators or with the Balmar Duo Charge.
The alternator temperature sensor is designed to prevent the alternator exceeding its rated temperature of 105 deg C, (Approx 210 deg F) When used with the Max Charge and ARS5 regulators the output of the alternator is reduced until the temperature has returned within the parameters.
The alternator temperature sensor is a semiconductor device and is designed to bolt on to one of the case mounting bolts of the alternator. The wire length provided is the same length as the standard wire harness that comes with the regulator so that it can be incorporated into this harness.
The use of an alternator temperature sensor is recommended for any system where extended high output operation is expected, an example being any especially large battery bank, particularly one of AGM batteries.
Simple two wire hookup
Bolts on to alternator case
52" wire length to match standard regulator wire harness
Especially recommended when extended high output operation is intended.
Q:
Is the MC-TS-A available in longer lengths? I need two of these that are 22' long.

A:
The TS-A and TS-B sensors are identical except for the wire length, one is 52" long and one is 20 feet. They are interchangeable. The TS-A is supplied with a washer and so if you get the TS-B you will have to provide your own washer.
