Frequently Asked Questions

How many sensors do I need for my system?

Only one SRX-BS sensor is required per solar system, regardless of how many SRX MPPT controllers you're connecting.

Will this work with non-AERL charge controllers?

No, this sensor is specifically designed for AERL SRX MPPT solar charge controllers and uses proprietary CanBus communication.

Where should I mount the temperature sensor?

The sensor should be mounted close to the battery bank to provide accurate temperature readings for optimal charge compensation.

Can I connect this to existing solar monitoring systems?

The sensor is designed to work within the AERL SRX ecosystem and may not be compatible with third-party monitoring systems.

Does this sensor require additional wiring?

The sensor connects via CanBus using RJ45 connectors, which should integrate with your existing SRX MPPT controller wiring.
