Inverter RS Smart Solar

The Temperature sensor type C is a Victron sensor that measures battery temperature. It is offered as a replacement for the one that goes with the Inverter RS Smart Solar. Victron files it under local and remote monitoring. It is an accessory for that inverter rather than a stand-alone monitor, so it is for owners who need a second or replacement sensor.

Our take

The type C sensor is offered as a replacement for the Inverter RS Smart Solar, which is the only inverter the maker names. Owners of other Victron inverters should confirm fit before assuming it works with theirs.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
