Easy to
Install
Designed
and optimized for UPS battery cabinets, the BDS-40 is the perfect choice.
With the monitor mounted on top of the cabinet and custom cables with each
connection point identified to battery, installation is quick and easy.
Easy
to Configure
Each
BDS-40 unit monitors all batteries in one cabinet. Two different units are
available. The Base Unit is the central point where power and communication
connections are made. Each additional battery cabinet in the system then
uses a Plus Unit, which transfers data to the Base Unit for alarm and data
storage. Each Base Unit can manage up to five Plus Units, for a total of
six battery cabinets. Choose an internal network card and/or a dial-up
modem as standard.
Easy
to Use
Albér’s
BDS-40 makes hard-to-interpret data easily understandable. Programmed
thresholds flag problem batteries by making bar graphs turn red, triggering
alarms and distributing alerts via email as soon as abnormal conditions are
detected. The report has built-in decision support that analyzes data and
provides suggestions for the best cause of action.
Early
Warning for Battery Problems
The
BDS-40 uses a patented internal DC resistance test method that bypasses the
limitations of AC based impedance testing. Like an ultrasound for a
battery, Albér technology lets you "look inside" and assess the
battery’s true state of health. It tests the condition of each module by
performing a proactive resistance test - the most reliable indicator of
battery performance. Because it's important to detect deterioration at an
early stage to prevent catastrophic failures when dealing with 12 volt
sealed batteries, measurement technology is the most important
consideration when selecting a monitor. Other battery monitors’ internal
ohmic readings become inconsistent as the UPS load varies because of
variations in AC ripple on the battery. The Albér DC resistance test method
is not affected by ripple and thus provides data that is repeatable and
reflects the true condition of the battery.
Optimizing
Useful Battery Life
Sealed
batteries are also sensitive to temperature and float voltage settings, and
battery life can be extended by optimizing these. The BDS-40 monitors these
conditions and continuously provides you with information that allows for
considerable cost savings by optimizing useful battery life. Instead of
waiting for an inevitable failure or replacing batteries prematurely, you
can continue to use your battery longer and with confidence by knowing its
true condition.
