Alternator temperature sensor 2 m cable

This sensor monitors the temperature of your alternator. It sends this data to a Mastervolt Alpha Pro charge controller, preventing overheating and optimizing the charging process.

The sensor comes with a 2-metre cable, providing flexibility for installation in various engine compartments of boats.

The sensor is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with the Mastervolt Alpha Pro charge controller. It can be used with alternators from different brands when these are paired with an Alpha Pro controller.

The sensor measures the alternator’s temperature in real time and sends this data to the Mastervolt Alpha Pro regulator. In the event of excessive temperature, the regulator can adjust the charging process to prevent damage to the alternator, thereby extending its lifespan.

The sensor must be installed on the alternator body, typically at a location where it can effectively measure the most representative internal or surface temperature. It is recommended to consult the Alpha Pro regulator installation manual for precise instructions.

This alternator temperature sensor is a Mastervolt product.

Yes, as a Mastervolt product designed for marine charging systems, this sensor is built to withstand typical marine environment conditions, although no specific IP rating is mentioned in the provided information.

Yes, by allowing the Alpha Pro regulator to manage the alternator temperature, the sensor helps keep the alternator operating within optimal conditions. This can indirectly improve overall charging efficiency by preventing power reductions caused by overheating.

Yes, the part number 41500400 is the SKU assigned to this alternator temperature sensor with a 2-meter cable.

Detailed installation instructions for using this sensor are typically provided in the Mastervolt Alpha Pro charge controller manual, with which it is designed to operate.

When the Alpha Pro regulator is used with alternators from other manufacturers, this sensor provides an additional layer of safety by monitoring temperature. This allows the regulator to adjust the charge to prevent overheating, a feature that is not always natively integrated or sufficient on third-party alternators.

The 2-meter cable length is designed to provide installation flexibility in most engine compartment configurations, allowing the sensor to be positioned and connected to the Alpha Pro controller.

The alternator temperature sensor is a passive component that measures temperature and transmits a signal to the Alpha Pro charge regulator for processing. It does not generate power itself.

The sensor connects to the Mastervolt Alpha Pro charge controller via its 2-meter cable. The precise connection details (connector type, specific port) are described in the Alpha Pro charge controller’s user and installation manual.

Installing this sensor requires connections to a marine electrical system. While the process may seem straightforward, basic knowledge of marine electricity is recommended to ensure correct and safe installation. If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a professional.

The primary role of the sensor is to provide accurate, real-time temperature data from the alternator to the Alpha Pro charge regulator. This data enables the regulator to adjust the charging strategy to keep the alternator within a safe temperature range, thereby preventing overheating and extending equipment lifespan.
