The 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 is
given 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 weak cells 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 most telecom and utility battery
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 battery monitor can be tied into a
building management system via several protocols.
The MPM, in 19” rack mount, can be configured for most power, telecom,
utility, 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, network, Modbus over TCP/IP or
locally to a computer via the RS-232 port.
The MPM is
the perfect solution for monitoring to help meet the testing and
documentation requirements of the new NERC Protection System and
Maintenance Testing Standard PRC005-1. You can achieve compliance and
reduce your maintenance costs with the MPM-100. Documentation is key for
successful compliance audits. NERC’s efforts help ensure the reliability of
the North American bulk power system by enforcing compliance with the
standard. For more, visit the NERC site.
Albér's Cellular MPM
Battery Monitor Says "No Problem!" to Remote Areas and Critical
Systems.
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. The MPM-100 is the perfect battery
monitor for your central office, outside plant (OSP), wireless base station
or radio base station.
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.
