## 01 CoolMax Solar Charge Controllers — CoolMax SRX: Battery Sense, CoolMax SRX-R: rack shelf

### 1.1 CoolMax SRX: Battery Sense

| Part number | Description | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| BAT-SENSE | CoolMax Battery Sense: remote temperature and voltage sensor | Measures battery temperature and voltage at the battery, so the CoolMax SRX can compensate its charging for temperature and monitor the battery more accurately. |

The Battery Sense connects to one of the CoolMax SRX's CAN bus RJ45 ports with a CAT6 cable of up to 10 metres, and is powered by the controller: it needs no separate supply. See the Battery Sense User Manual.

### 1.2 CoolMax SRX-R: Rack Shelf

| Part number | Description | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| SRX-R-RACK-SHELF | CoolMax SRX-R rack shelf: 2U shelf and backplane for two modules | Holds two SRX-R modules side by side and carries their power connections on its backplane. Every SRX-R installation needs a shelf. |

Mount the shelf horizontally in a ventilated, lockable IP5X cabinet, as the SRX-R User Manual describes.

> **Lightning-prone applications**
>
> The Surge Buster is required in lightning-prone applications: pipelines or structures longer than 100 metres or higher than 10 metres. Lightning damage to a CoolPro installed in such an application without one is not covered by the warranty. Elsewhere the Surge Buster is optional.
