Alber Battery Monitoring SystemWhen the unexpected is unacceptable

Site Monitoring forBusiness-Critical Continuity

We’re Emerson Network Power, backed by Emerson, a global company that brings technology andengineering together to provide innovative solutions for the benefit of our customers. We’re theworld leader in providing Business-Critical Continuity™ to organizations like yours, enabled by ourproduct and service centers of expertise.

For more than thirty years, Alber from Emerson Network Power has dedicated its worldwide operationsto raising the bar in battery testing and monitoring. It’s what we do and we take our mission veryseriously. Today, Albér is the trusted name in many business sectors that depend on power backupsystems with mission critical battery applications.

For Battery Monitoring Systems we provide the reliability of our measuring patented technics, theflexibility of our equipment system, and the savings related to the optimized useful battery life.

Healthy batteries make for more efficient operation. Mission criticaltechnology fuels the global economy 24/7, 365 days a year. Downtime,even a few critical minutes, can cost you millions of dollars and lostcustomers.

Albér Monitoring Systems monitor your critical battery parameters tohelp you detect battery failure before they occur. Albér’s Internal DCResistance test method is by far the most accurate method of diagnosingthe batteries’ state of health. Much like a battery ultrasound, our provenmethod enables the user to “look inside” and assess the battery’strue condition.

This is the very reason our customers trust Albér to detect potentialbattery problems before they become a major financial problem.

ReliabilityYour battery is the heart of your backup system

The Albér battery monitoring system offers themost precise method of monitoring that ensuresbattery system reliability when it matters most.

The monitors measure cell or block voltage,ambient temperature and discharge current24x7x365. The monitor performs automaticinternal resistance tests on regular intervals.

This data allows the user to detect at an early stagethe battery failure even before it becomes a realfailure and in effect help them optimize the usefulbattery life. The system alarm on conditions outsideset thresholds and communicate to users via theAlbér Monitor software or via Modbus or SNMP tothird party systems or building managementsystems. Communication is via network card,modem or serial port.

Advantages and Features• Patented DC Resistance Measurement Method• Reliable and repeatable measurements unaffected by noise• Automatically detects and record discharges• Display discharges in real time for safe discharge tests• Communication via serial port, modem or TCP/IP network card• Modbus or SNMP protocol for communication to third party systems• Report Generation Capability

and is supplied with customcables, with leads cut to lengthand labeled for quick and easyinstallation.

MPM-100

This is the optimal monitor fors m a l l e r D C s y s t e m s o rtelecommunications systems.One MPM-100 can monitor upto four strings of 48VDC or asingle string of 130VDC.

BMDM Software

The batter y managementsoftware allows for efficienttrending analysis.Set thresholds on all parameters,with color coding that simplifiesanalysis. A Java based web clientis also available.

The BMDM software is designedto give the user complete control.Graphs are easy to interpret withcolor codes indicating weakcells.The built-in setup wizardassists during startup for problemfree install.

MPM-100

Continuity without compromises

Total Cost of Ownership

Reduce total cost of the ownership by optimizing the useful life of your batteries, avoiding prematurefailure, improving maintenance processes and increasing personnel and equipment safety.

If one cell fails to open, that cell willbring down the complete string.

Detect weak cells before they cause a failure.

Emerson Network Power Battery Solutions

When you purchased your Liebert UPS system, you madean investment in the best power protection system in theindustry. A critical part of any UPS, however, is the batterysystem. Without a properly operating battery system, noUPS can do its job. And without adequate power back upyour operations are at risk. The only proven way to ensurethe reliability of the battery system is to install a batterymonitoring system. This system continually monitors thebatteries' critical parameter 24/7, the float voltage,temperature, current, inter-cell resistance and internalresistance. The monitoring system also logs dischargehistory and provides data for trending that are used todetect problems before they become real failures. EmersonNetwork Power will provide you with a detailed andprofessional report which will contain all the findingsthat our monitoring system has along with the analysisof our battery professionals and the necessary actionto be taken. We can also provide you with remotemonitoring service; we'll analyze all your critical batteryparameters and let you know when action needs to betaken.

• Battery Predictive Maintenance Services

Battery systems, like your UPS systems, need regularmaintenance to optimize its performance. Batterysystem's performance is affected by the integrity of theconnections to the battery and overall health of theindividual battery; that is if there is one battery failurethe whole string is compromised! Emerson NetworkPower's Customer Engineers are factor y trainedprofessionals who conduct battery PM's following theIEEE standards. Emerson Network Power predictivemaintenance includes:

• Measurement and recording of individual battery voltages and currents• Measurement and recording of 10% of the battery temperature• Measurement and recording of the inter-cell and internal resistances• Visual inspection of the batteries• Checking of electrolyte levels and specific gravity (wet cells)• Torque check on the battery connections• Preparation of professional reports that details the findings and the recommendations for the corrective actions

After the PM, a detailed and professional report will beprovided to you which will contain all the findings thatour CE's had along with the necessary action to be taken.

How long your UPS supports the load during a poweroutage depends on the designed capacity of the batterysystem used. But the power supplied by the utilities is notperfect; sags, fluctuations, surges, frequency variationsand outages take its toll on your batteries over a periodof time. Will your battery system have the capacity it wasdesigned for when an outage occurs? That is whymeasuring the capacity of the battery system is veryimportant. There are different ways of measuring thecapacity of a battery and some even claim that there arehand held tools that can do the job. But the most accurateway of testing the capacity of the battery is through a loadtest. Emerson Network Power conducts actual capacitytests that use actual load or an external load to analyzethe capacity of your battery system in accordanceto IEEE standards.

• Battery replacement services

Even with the best monitoring system and maintenance,batteries have a finite life. Prompt replacement of weakbatteries will only be effective after only a certain quantityof batteries has been replaced. The difference in batterycharacteristics brought about by the age difference of thenew and old batteries in a string causes imbalance in thestring. The more new batteries are added as replacementto weak batteries in a string, the more imbalances arecreated resulting in overcharging and accelerated aging.And as the batteries near its end of life it will be impracticalto replace individual weak cells, instead the whole stringwill be replaced. Emerson Network Power ensures thatwhen you replace your battery string there be will be anavailable battery of your choice with ENP coordinating thedelivery and ensuring professional installation which willcause the least amount or no downtime at all to youroperation. As a responsible organization we help protectthe environment by facilitating the disposal of your spentbatteries through government recognized recyclingfacilities.
