Main Features
- Precise IR. (Internal Resistance/Conductance) online measurement is performed on each battery (or multi-cell), user selectable internal resistance or conductance data display. Sufficient precision for high capacity Lead Acid or Nickel Cadmium batteries while used for multi-cell monitoring.
- High Noise Immunity. Provides for accurate measurement on high ripple ups systems.
- Compact Design. Permits convenient installation on top, or inside of the battery cabinet.
- Easy to Install. Simplified connection: one wire per battery, plus three IR wires for one string. Easy to set for any number of cells for multi-cell applications. (For example, 87 x 1.2V NiCad, 21 channel with 4-cell and last channel 3-cell.)
- Reliable Solid State Scanning. (rather than mechanical relay) provides the highest reliability for industrial applications.
- HMI Panel. The plug and play touch panel (optional, handheld or panel mounting) displays battery data and alarms. It allows the technician to configure and calibrate without the need of a PC.
- Access Data/Alarm from Anywhere. Firewall friendly Battery Analyzer software, plug and play, easy to manage large number of sites from anywhere via internet. Alarming through email, SMS and SNMP trap.
- Supports Site/Building Management Systems. The system fully supports 3rd party network battery management systems with SNMP, Modbus TCP and hyperlink to real-time data.
