AKCP Battery Monitoring Sensor (BATTMON)

The Battery Monitoring Sensor is a simple, yet effective way to monitor a variety of battery types. Lead Acid, LiPoly, individual cells or banks of batteries. The sensor consists of a battery terminal temperature sensor, battery DC Voltage meter and a current transformer.

Check the battery system performance, such as charge/discharge status. This sensor aids in maintaining and monitoring battery health for generators and engines, backup UPS power and solar systems.

The Battery Monitoring Sensor monitors an individual cell or bank of batteries, as well as DC power systems like solar panel arrays. With Battery Monitoring Sensor, you can monitor:

Typical applications would be for battery monitoring, solar panel array, or generator starter batteries.

Important Note:	the BattMon sensor is not galvanically isolated, care must be taken regarding possible differential voltage potential issues     - The BattMon sensor is only compatible with the sensorProbe+ platform units. - When plugging the first time or after upgrading a sensorProbe+ unit, the sensor's firmware might be upgraded by the unit and not be available right away. - Smart sensor upgrade can only be performed on the main 4 sensor ports of the SP+ - Correctly sized CT must be ordered with the BATTMON. CT size is set in production and can?t be changed.
Sensor count	4
