Lead-Acid Multi-Parameter Battery Sensor

Features

High-Reliability Modular Design

Each Battery Sensor operates as an independent unit, meaning the failure of one sensor does not impact the functionality of others. The adoption of 485 ring connection enhances system resilience, ensuring that any sensor interruption or disconnection will not disrupt communication with the central Battery Monitoring Host. This modularity also simplifies installation, replacement, and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.

Multi-Parameter Acquisition Capability

This sensor excels at multi-parameter acquisition, simultaneously collecting battery voltage, pole temperature, and internal resistance data—three critical indicators of battery health. By capturing these parameters in real time, it provides a comprehensive view of a battery’s condition, allowing users to identify issues such as sulfation, poor connections, or impending failure before they lead to power disruptions.

Strong Environmental Interference Resistance

Equipped with advanced filtering algorithms and specialized internal resistance detection technology, the Battery Sensor effectively mitigates the impact of voltage ripples, temperature fluctuations, and other environmental interferences. This ensures that the collected data is accurate and reliable, even in noisy electrical environments or extreme temperature conditions.

Fault Self-Checking & Alarming

The sensor supports self-checking for multiple internal faults, including hardware malfunctions and communication errors. When a fault is detected, it immediately uploads an alarm signal to the central monitoring system, enabling quick intervention to resolve issues. This proactive fault detection minimizes the risk of undetected battery problems and enhances overall system safety.

Wide Compatibility with Lead-Acid Batteries

Optimized specifically for lead-acid battery monitoring, the sensor is compatible with various lead-acid battery types commonly used in backup power systems, UPS units, and industrial applications. Its flexible operating voltage range ensures it can adapt to different battery configurations without requiring modifications.

FAQ

What type of battery is this sensor designed for?

The Battery Sensor is specifically engineered for lead-acid battery monitoring. It is compatible with most lead-acid battery configurations used in backup power systems, UPS units, telecom base stations, and industrial applications. It is not intended for use with lithium-ion or other battery chemistries.

How many sensors do I need for my battery bank?

This is a single-battery monitoring sensor, meaning one Battery Sensor is required for each individual battery in your bank. This allows for granular monitoring of each cell’s voltage, temperature, and internal resistance, ensuring that no single faulty battery goes undetected.

How does the sensor resist environmental interference?

The sensor uses advanced filtering algorithms and specialized internal resistance detection technology to filter out voltage ripples, electromagnetic interference, and temperature-related noise. This ensures that the collected data is accurate and reliable, even in noisy electrical environments or extreme temperature conditions common in industrial settings.
