System Overview
The Universal Xplorer Industrial Monitor (UXIM) is a stationary battery monitor designed for use in
Industrial or Utility applications. With standard configurations specifically designed for Utility
Substations, make it ideal for NERC compliancy. Each monitor is considered a stand-alone system, in that
no external computer is required for normal operation with standard provisions to integrate to
customer owned Building Management or Enterprise Systems.
Complete and comprehensive remote monitoring capabilities include features you expect.
•
Remote access via Ethernet or RS-485 using industry standard protocols such as Modbus or
SNMP for simple BMS integration.
•
Embedded Web servers permit Web browsing from any PC on the network for quick real-time
battery viewing to inspect data in easy to interpret graphical views for all cell and string level
parameters, active monitor status and state of active or latched alarms.
•
Embedded email clients for alarm notifications and data delivery of battery parameters (XML
format) with priority handling of message sent to responsible service technicians.
•
Local service port USB connectivity to view and analyze battery systems using laptop computers.
With the UXIM, all your battery parameters are measured and constantly monitored against user
defined thresholds. And what sets Vertiv monitors apart from others is the ability to provide early
warning of potential battery problems by performing a proactive, patented resistance test, a proven
technology to reliably predict battery performance. To complement the proactive resistance test, other
parameters monitored to ensure optimal battery performance and battery life are as follows:
•
Cell Level Measurements
o
Individual Cell Resistance
o
Individual Cell Voltage
o
Individual Intercell Resistance
o
Electrolyte Level (Optional)
•
System Level Measurements
o
Overall Volts
o
String current (Discharge/Float)
o
Ripple Current
o
Ambient Temperatures
o
Charger Cable Resistance
o
Ground Fault Currents
