Sentry-S15 Telecom Battery Monitoring System

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Sentry series compact battery monitors combine superior data quality and flexible installation to address cell site applications. Compatible with Battery Analyzer software, MyBattery Platform™ or other remote site management system with standard Modbus communication, Sentry monitors can be utilized for virtually every remote telecom application.

Sentry-0212S15 is specifically designed for 24V systems with up to 15 strings of 2x12V in parallel

[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”6″ display=”pro_mosaic”]

  • Digital Wavelet Technology. Precise IR (Internal Resistance / Conductance) online measurement is performed on each battery. User selectable internal resistance or conductance data display
  • No Noise/Interference to Power System. No need for high current discharge during internal resistance measurement
  • Over Voltage Protection. Designed with over voltage input for each sampling channel
  • High Resolution. 16 bit high resolution provides for clear and precise data acquisition
  • Solid State Scanning. (rather than mechanical relay) provides the highest reliability for telecom site and industrial applications
  • Modbus/RTU Communication. Provides high reliability and ease of integration
  • Compact Design. Permits convenient installation on top, or inside of the battery cabinet/rack
  • 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
  • HMI Panel. The plug and play touch panel (optional) allows the technician to configure and calibrate without the need of a PC
  • 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
