Alber MPM-100 configurable battery diagnostic system identifies
conditions requiring further investigation, such as cell voltage,
overall string voltage, current, temperature, and internal resistance.
Automatic periodic tests verify the integrity of the battery being
monitored, and an alarm sounds for any out-of-tolerance condition.
Proactive testing includes internal ohmic resistance for the complete
module at user-programmed intervals. By tracking internal resistance,
the system can predict and report failing conditions prior to complete
failure. A time-to-go estimate algorithm, which uses discharge parameters
and internal resistance readings, assists in determining remaining
battery life.
The MPM battery monitor accommodates more than 60 different battery
configurations and can be modified for nonstandard configurations.
The Battery Monitor Data Manager (BMDM) program, with its automatic
polling and data transfer algorithms, lets a central computer manage
over 1000 MPM systems.
The MPM, in either 19” or 23” rack mount, can be configured
for most power, telecom, and cellular applications. The MPM has
a self-contained processing unit for stand-alone operation, and
can communicate with an automatic callout system upon alarm or discharge
sensing. Connection to a monitoring site may be through the internal
modem or locally to a computer via the RS-232 port.
Critical System? Remote Area? Albér's Cellular MPM Battery Monitor Says . . . "No Problem!"
Now battery monitoring is possible in even the most remote areas. Albér's cellular modem equipped MPM-100 takes advantage of well established cellular architecture to let you install a monitoring system virtually anywhere you have batteries.
During setup, simply open the MPM and insert a service activated SIM card into the modem. Close the unit, connect the antenna, then install the MPM system as instructed. A few moments after power up, the MPM establishes communication with your cellular provider and you're ready to go!
Using selections you make during setup, your Central computer will poll the MPM at the times you specify. Additionally, depending on cellular service in your area, the MPM can call out on alarm.
With Albér cellular technology, you'll monitor batteries in locations you never before considered, just about anywhere on the planet. For more down to earth details, contact your Albér sales representative today.
