Product Information

The CELLGUARD™ Wireless Battery Monitoring System (BMS) provides an accurate and reliable indication of battery state-of-health through monitoring and analysis of battery voltage, temperature, and conductance.

ENSURE UPTIME WITH ADVANCED 24/7 REMOTE MONITORING

Get remote access to the information you need to proactively maintain your stationary power systems and avoid costly downtime. With solid noise immunity, the CELLGUARD™ Wireless Battery Monitoring System is suited for applications including power utilities, data centers, telecommunications systems, and DC systems with filtered AC electrical ripple.

BASE COORDINATOR UNIT

Manages battery sensor test activities, collects test data and communicates to Converge web interface via TCIP/IP, and is powered by the battery string voltage converter via battery string power. Supports MODBUS TCP/IP to integrate with building infrastructure.

VISUAL STATE-OF-HEALTH

Battery state-of-health is provided at the hardware level.  Each sensor has three modes of LED notification to display the batteries current status, allowing personnel to quickly pinpoint batteries that require attention.

OVERVIEW

Get a quick and concise visual overview of alarms and warnings for every battery in your system.

CELLGUARD Wireless - Converge - Configuration.psd

CONFIGURATION

Two-way communication inside your network allows for remote configuration, setup, changes, and firmware updates. This eliminates the need to roll a truck to a site which can be costly and time consuming. Configurations can be downloaded and saved or used to program additional sites with similar configurations.

CELLGUARD Wireless - Converge - Tools.psd

TOOLS

Remotely update the BCU and sensor firmware, configure Modbus, force manual voltage, temperature, and conductance tests and perform a system reset.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Installation cost and time are reduced with the system’s wireless communication capabilities which enable all hardware to communicate to the Base controller free of cabling.
Wireless - Icon - Conductance.psd

ACCURATE CONDUCTANCE MONITORING

Conductance-based monitoring technology provides the most accurate, efficient, and non-invasive method possible for monitoring a battery’s state-of-health.
Wireless - Icon - Hardware.psd

ADVANCED HARDWARE

Comprised of a Base Coordinator Unit (BCU) and single-battery sensor modules, the system provides both visual and digital battery state-of-health and is capable of monitoring up to 16 battery strings, up to 300 sensors per string, and up to 600 sensors per BCU (irrespective of how they are divided by strings).
