11 Remote Sense

11.1 ATevo Remote Voltage Sense

ATevo regulates dc output voltage as measured at the charger's
output connection (CB2+/-). The Remote Voltage Sense feature
permits ATevo to monitor and regulate the dc output voltage at the
battery. This feature is useful when long battery cables, causing
resistive voltage-drop, connect ATevo to the battery. All ATevo
chargers can be wired to utilize this feature.

11.2 Remote Sense Connection

Remote sensing:
• Compensates for voltage drop in dc wiring between ATevo and
the battery.
• Directly monitors battery or dc bus voltage. The front panel
meter displays actual voltage at the battery or dc bus.

RECTIFIER
To wire ATevo for remote sensing, install twisted-pair cabling from
the remote sense terminals to the battery terminals or dc bus. ATevo
control circuitry measures dc voltage at the battery terminals and
controls charger output to maintain battery voltage at the desired
float or equalize voltage.

sense wiring. Install a 1.0A fuse at the battery or dc bus end of each
remote sense cable.
