Comtest is pleased to introduce Midtronics new Cellguard System and Cellguard Trace, a battery monitoring solution designed for simple expansion and worldwide accessibility. Midtronics Cellguard System combines the latest wireless communications technology with patented, field- proven battery conductance testing for the most thorough stationary battery health analysis in the industry. Midtronics Cellguard System features:
- Continuous 24/7 online monitoring for system integrity assurance
- Full conductance, battery temperature & Voltage monitoring for battery state of health analysis
- Wireless Communications Architecture ensures proper installation, easy operation & low maintenance costs
- Intercell connection integrity monitoring ensures system effectiveness
- Economical total cost of ownership reduces installation cost, hardware price and system maintenance
- Applies test signal to an individual cell or monoblock for high resolution of system state of health
- Web enabled communications for remote surveillance
- Full monitoring of string charge and discharge current, and discharge performance recording
- Advanced notification of battery problems via e-mail or text massage
- Conductance advantages: safe, simple, accurate battery prognostics
- Industry choice conductance testing is the accepted standard for battery testing
The Cellguard System has an operating temperature of 0 C to +65 C and a storage temperature of –10 C to +80 C. Its protection features include a sensor (2V & 12V), fused test load and power paths and a PolySwitch protection for high heat detection.
Midtronics Cellguard Trace (UBM-1048) system provides effective string battery monitoring for 24V or 48V battery applications. It’s easy-to-install Kelvin connection enables the Cellguard Trace to measure individual 12 volt jar conductance, voltage and temperature every 24 hours and warns or alarms when any measured parameter crosses a preset threshold. This approach provides for early warning of battery degradation, enabling individual jars to be removed from the string prior to full string degradation or system failure.
The Cellguard Trace can monitor stationary batteries in a variety of applications including telecommunications, Wireline (OSP), Wireless, Fire and security alarm systems, broadband and switching and control systems.
