The
String Voltage
reading displays the total string voltage measured by the battery harness or sensors. Alarms may be
provisioned for this voltage by pressing the associated
A
button.
The
Jar Voltage Delta
reading displays the difference between the highest and lowest jar voltage in the string. Too
much variation in jar voltages could be an indication that there are problems with some jars. Alarms may be
provisioned for this voltage by pressing the associated
A
button.
The
Sensor Com
indicator will display “Normal” when the RBMS Plus is communicating with all the sensors in the string
and will display “Failed” when the RBMS Plus has lost communications with one or more sensors. Alarms may be
provisioned for this indicator by pressing the associated
A
button.
NOTE: Some parameter values displayed will only be present when the system has the optional sensors
installed. These include admittance and temperature values.
Pressing the
Previous String
or
Next String
buttons will move to the previous or next string on this RBMS Plus. Pressing
the
Return to Overview Display
button brings up the Overview Display.
All Conductance measurements and Equalization are automatically disabled on
all
strings when a discharge event is
detected on
any
string.

Single Jar Display (with optional battery sensors)
This web page displays the measurements and control for a single Jar. Alarming parameters are color coded with red
for major alarms and yellow for minor alarms.
A user definable
Jar Name
is displayed for each jar. Some operators use this field to identify the manufacturer and
model number of the jar, or the installation date. The name may be modified by pressing the associated
S
button.
The
Jar Voltage
measured by the battery cable or sensor is displayed. Measurements are made and reported each time
the sensor is polled. Alarms may be provisioned for this voltage by pressing the associated
A
button.
The
Jar Temperature
measured by the sensor (if installed) is displayed. Measurements are made and reported each
time the sensor is polled. Alarms may be provisioned for this current by pressing the associated
A
button. When
battery balancing (also called equalization) is enabled, temperature measurements are recorded once per hour near
the half hour.
