Product Description
The
BDS
‐
40
is
a
stand
‐
alone
monitor
for
UPS
applications
and
is
designed
for
use
with
UPS
battery
cabinets.
Albér
monitors
provide
early
warning
detection
of
battery
problems.
The
monitor
checks
the
state
of
health
of
each
cell
by
performing
a
proactive
resistance
test,
a
reliable
predictor
of
battery
performance.
In
addition,
to
indicate
immediate
battery
health
and
monitor
status
of
a
given
location,
the
system
reports
to
a
Central
computer
a
generic
PC
displaying
status
screens.
Using
polling
and
data
transfer
algorithms,
the
Battery
Monitor
Data
Manager
BMDM
software
program
with
a
PC
help
to
manage
over
1000
monitor
systems.
Data
is
stored
in
the
computer
database
for
later
analysis
and
reporting.
At
any
time,
service
personnel
may
call
a
battery
location
from
the
Central
computer
or
a
remote
location,
or
directly
connect
to
the
monitor
without
losing
contact
with
the
computer.
The
Data
Manager
string
and
monitor
status
indicators
make
central
battery
monitoring
easy.
Terms
such
as
Discharging,
Alarm
or
Warning
for
string
status
or
Active
for
monitor
status
quickly
summarize
events.
Conditions
reported
to
the
Central
computer
are
displayed
as
a
list,
to
easily
identify
trouble
spots.
The
system
also
features
several
methods
of
automated
reporting
of
alarm
occurrences,
such
as
contacting
key
personnel
via
a
pager,
or
fax.
Flexibility
was
a
major
design
consideration.
Because
the
monitors
are
stand
‐
alone
units
with
no
external
computer
needed,
a
primary
protocol
using
Modbus
ASCII
was
selected
for
easy
incorporation
of
the
monitor
into
large
‐
scale
facility
monitors.
This
allows
third
‐
party
interfaces
to
access
all
the
stand
‐
alone
features
of
the
monitor,
yet
leaves
the
advanced
features
of
the
BMDM
remote
communication
software
available
for
service
personnel.
1.1
Normal Operating Mode
In
normal
mode,
the
system
scans
all
parameters
in
one
to
five
seconds,
depending
on
the
configuration.
As
readings
are
taken,
they
are
compared
to
user
‐
programmed
alarm
levels.
The
monitor
can
then
call
a
Central
computer
and
energize
an
alarm
contact
if
a
parameter
exceeds
a
level.
Front
panel
LEDs
indicate
scan
and
alarm
status,
and
alarm
events
are
stored
in
memory
for
future
analysis.
The
BDS
can
be
programmed
for
critical
and
maintenance
alarms.
1.2
Discharge Mode
If
a
discharge
is
detected,
the
system
goes
into
a
data
logging
mode
and
stores
battery
voltages
and
discharge
current
into
a
discharge
record.
1.3
Resistance Test Mode
A
battery
resistance
test
may
be
performed
at
user
‐
set
intervals.
The
test
is
similar
to
that
performed
by
the
Albér
Cellcorder.
On
a
BDS
‐
40,
up
to
ten
intertiers
can
be
configured
for
this
measurement.
