Identify Victron Temperature Sensor

Ako

 

I have posted on the Official Victron Forum and two Victron Facebook pages asking if anyone could identify a Victron Temperature sensor but so far no one has so i thought would try here on the hope someone can say yes or no from experience and knowing something no one else seems to . It might be that both are the ASS000001000 but possible made later or for some other reason are only different in appearance .

I bought a Multiplus that came with a sensor (ASS000001000 slightly fatter body on the right ) , the sensor is used on several pieces of Victron equipment including my MPPT so i used it for that as it was more important for the MPPT adjust temperature compensation than the Multiplus charger . I have now acquired what i thought was a second ASS000001000 sensor but when i connected it to the Cerbo i found that the Ferrules were only 8mm long and to short so they it kept popping out , when i did manage to get them to stay in i noticed the temperature it gave was 9c higher then the original one despite being connected to the same Battery lug , the two sensors were in direct contact with each other . I then connected it to the Multiplus and the Ferrules were to short for that also . The sensor is a Victron one but im unsure which so im posting a photo of both in the hope someone else might .

The other anomaly is the data they produce , the one that came with the Multiplus shows increments of 1/10 of a degree ( Right Photo ),  , the new sensor Data shown on the left Photo rounds to nearest full Degree , that happens when its connected to the Cerbo and the Multiplus although i don't know if thats down the the equipment and how they normally display the data .

Only suggestion I can make... Measure the resistance of each unit in an ice/water bath (0C) and a large plastic cup of 35-40C water (large enough+plastic to keep water temperature "constant" during you measurments). See what values you get.

If you are still having a problem getting this info you might try the DIY solar forum. It has a large international base who use a lot of Victron equipment. It is also a very busy forum and could yield an answer in minutes.
