The Victron CAN-bus Temperature Sensor connects directly to compatible Victron devices via CAN-bus, feeding accurate battery or ambient temperature readings to the connected equipment. It is intended for use with Victron battery monitors, DC-DC converters and other CAN-bus enabled products where temperature-compensated charging or monitoring is needed.

Key features

• Interface, CAN-bus connection for direct integration with compatible Victron devices
• Function, provides real-time temperature data to support temperature-compensated charging
• Weight, 0.08 kg, compact enough for confined installation spaces
• Part, Victron Energy OEM accessory, SKU ASS000200100
• Compatibility, works with Victron systems that support CAN-bus temperature input

Why temperature matters

Chargers and DC-DC converters that lack a temperature reading apply a fixed charge voltage, which can be too high in warm conditions or too low in cold ones. This sensor feeds live temperature data over CAN-bus to the connected device, letting it adjust the charge voltage in response.

It is a straightforward addition to any compatible Victron installation where temperature monitoring is not already built into the battery or BMS.

Applications

• Temperature-compensated charging in off-grid and mobile battery systems
• Battery temperature monitoring in van, marine and caravan installations
• Integration with Victron DC-DC converters and battery monitors via CAN-bus
• Ambient or battery surface temperature sensing in Victron-based systems

What's in the box

• 1 x Victron CAN-bus Temperature Sensor (ASS000200100)

Installation notes

Connect the sensor to a compatible CAN-bus port on the Victron device, checking compatibility with your specific Victron product before installation. On larger solar or battery installations, fitting should be carried out by a qualified electrician or an installer experienced with Victron equipment.
