Wonder if anyone has information on where the temp probe is located inside the Multi II for derate purposes?

Do you mean derating for battery charging? If I’m not mistaken its in the Multiplus box to be connected to T-Sense terminals. Is that what you are referring too?
Are there more than one temp probe? Is there one for charging and another for Inverting?
I doubt it as the MII either inverts one way or charges the other, not both at the same time. The logical place is somewhere inside the big transformer for reasons stated above but I would really like to know what I need to cool as the temp light on both parallel units is flashing a lot here in Portugal. I notice the temp shows up in remote console so is it using the battery temp? I don't know but would like confirmation from someone who does.

It's a bad idea to cool the temperature sensor.
If you want additional cooling, then cool the device, not directly/mainly the temperature sensor.
Air conditioning the room may be more effective. Additional forced cooling/extraction only seems to delay the derating for sustained loads.
