The DS-50 is an EVI brand product, and it does not require a neutral. It requires only three wires. - 2 hots and ground. It does not draw any current over the...
Well, I was looking for a DS-50 but wound up with the Avcon system. It did show in the diagram that it wanted 4 wires. The neutral is used for the 110 volt...
I converted my Ranger to use 12 volt batteries. I put a small battery pack in the truck bed. When I did this, I mounted two of the four battery temperature...
Hi joe, the problem is not the location of your sensors, the problem is the heaters are on in the lower pack and not in the upper pack, since you have...
Hi Joe, I would add a variable resistor in line with the upper pack sensors. Then using the NGS, dial up the the resistance, until the temp matches for both...

Lan-the upper and lower heaters are all on the same circuit and are all wired together in series. If the bottom heaters are on, the top pack heaters are also...
Wherever you have heaters you need sensors, if you use no heaters then you can put the sensors wherever you want ........ the heaters will increase to whatever...
Lan-that make sense to me. I did not understand that the glue on heaters were only intended for the top row of batteries. Now, everything you said earlier...
You only need the two hots and a ground. I have my AVCON connected with a NEMA 14-50 connector, but the neutral (white) is not connected. It is not ...
