Sageon Shield Standalone Battery Monitor
PM990-4023-01, Issue 4 18
As an example, consider a 48V system, and you have three battery strings whose cell voltages you would like to
monitor, you need to enter 3 for the number of SBM Batteries. You do not need to tell the SCU the number of
SBMs that are required. The SCU will automatically calculate the required number of SBMs. The number of
SBMs required for different battery configuration is shown in the following table:
Batt Config SBM Batt = 1 SBM Batt = 2 SBM Batt = 3 SBM Batt = 4
24 cell, 2V 1 SBM 2 SBM 3 SBM 4 SBM
12 cell, 4V 1 SBM 1 SBM 2 SBM 2 SBM
8 cell, 6V 1 SBM 1 SBM 2 SBM 2 SBM
4 cell, 12V 1 SBM 1 SBM 1 SBM 1 SBM
12 cell, 2V 1 SBM 1 SBM 2 SBM 2 SBM
6 cell, 4V 1 SBM 1 SBM 2 SBM 2 SBM
4 cell, 6V 1 SBM 1 SBM 1 SBM 1 SBM
2 cell, 12V 1 SBM 1 SBM 1 SBM 1 SBM
A similar menu but for very different purposes, appears in the Systems menu as follows:
Num Batteries X ( where X is the number of batteries)
The number of batteries entered here is the number of batteries that are being monitored for their currents. “Num
Batteries” and “SBM Batteries” are not related except that value entered for “Num Batteries” must be greater or
equal to “SBM Batteries”. This is because Num Batteries determines the number of batteries accessible via the
BAT menu, via which we access the cell voltages. Therefore, if only two batteries are defined for Num Batteries,
then you will not have access to cell voltages of Battery 3 or 4, even if they are defined as 4 in the SBM Batteries
menu. Normally Num Batteries is set to be the same as SBM Batteries.
