AKCP BATTMON

In today’s IT and industrial environments, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems are critical for data centers, enterprises, and healthcare facilities. Reliable battery monitoring is therefore essential. The AKCP BATTMON Battery Monitoring Sensor is designed to continuously measure voltage, current, and temperature of batteries, ensuring safe and efficient operations. With high accuracy and reliability, BATTMON is an indispensable tool for battery health monitoring across mission-critical infrastructures.

Unlike conventional monitoring that often covers only voltage or current, BATTMON combines three parameters in one unit: voltage, current, and temperature. This makes it a comprehensive battery health sensor capable of predicting performance, estimating life expectancy, and detecting potential failures in advance.

Key Features of AKCP BATTMON

• DC Voltage: 0–15 V, 0–30 V, or 0–60 V depending on battery type
• Current Monitoring: via external CT clamps, adjustable for 50 A to 2000 A range
• Temperature Monitoring: measured directly at the battery terminal, cable length up to 1 m

With ±0.05% FS accuracy for voltage/current and a low temperature drift of ±0.02%/°C, BATTMON ensures precision. LED indicators provide immediate status feedback for deployment and operational monitoring.

Typical Applications

• Data centers: UPS battery monitoring for system continuity
• Healthcare: stable backup for critical medical equipment
• Solar & storage systems: detailed analysis of charge/discharge cycles
• Industrial facilities: monitoring DC supplies in production lines
• Backup generators: detecting problems during engine or generator starts

Installation & Technical Details

Current monitoring is achieved by external CT clamps calibrated for application ranges (50–2000 A). BATTMON is not galvanically isolated, so care must be taken to manage potential differences during installation. Shielded cables up to 10 m ensure reliable integration with battery packs even at distance.

• Contact: no galvanic isolation
• Cable length: 10 m maximum (shielded)
• Form factor: compact, rugged build for industrial deployment
• Status indicators: LEDs for system state

Integration with AKCP Monitoring Systems

BATTMON integrates seamlessly into AKCP sensorProbe+ systems. Through AutoSense detection, all parameters are recognized instantly and configured through the web interface. Thresholds for voltage, current, and temperature can be set individually. Supporting SNMP, data is compatible with Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG, IBM Tivoli, and others. Integration with AKCPro Server adds visualization, historical profiling, and advanced reporting.

Alarm Management

Predefined threshold violations trigger alerts instantly and can be distributed via:

• E-mail notifications
• SMS alerts via GSM gateways
• SNMP traps to network management platforms

This ensures immediate actions are taken to prevent system downtime or failures.

Maintenance & Reliability

BATTMON provides early insights into battery wear and degradation. Proactive maintenance minimizes operational costs, extends battery lifetime, and prevents unplanned outages. Its robust housing and stable electronics guarantee years of dependable operation.

Business Value

Undetected battery faults in data centers or industrial infrastructures can lead to costly downtime, data loss, and reputational damage. BATTMON mitigates these risks while improving capacity planning. Its precise data supports better investment planning for battery systems and lowers long-term costs.
