Comprehensive UPS Battery Diagnostic System
Albér BDS-40 Battery
Monitoring System Is Built
For Today’s UPS Battery Cabinet
System Configurations
Designed and optimized for UPS
systems using 12 volt sealed batteries,
the Albér BDS-40 is designed to be
mounted on top of the cabinet and
uses custom cables with each
connection point identified to the
specific battery. Installation is
quick and easy.
Each Albér BDS-40 unit will monitor
all the batteries in one cabinet, up to
40 jars. Two different units are

’s BDS system makes

hard-to-interpret data much more
understandable and manageable.
The Battery Monitor Data Manager
Computer Software is included with
every system. With the software you
can program thresholds, identify
problem batteries by making bar
graphs turn red, triggering alarms and
distribute alerts to e-mail lists as soon
as abnormal conditions are detected.
The report has built-in decision
support that analyzes the data and
provides suggestions for the best
cause of action.
Early Warning For Battery
Problems.
Like all Albér monitors, the Albér BDS40 uses a patented Internal DC
Resistance test method that bypasses
the limitations of outdated AC based
impedance testing. By tracking
internal resistance, the system can
predict and report failing conditions
prior to complete failure. A time-togo estimate algorithm, which uses
ischarge parameters and internal
d
e readings, assists in
anc
t
sis
e
r
aining battery life.

The Albér BDS-40 continuously
diagnoses all critical battery
parameters such as cell voltage,
overall string voltage, current and
temperature. Automatic periodic tests
of the batteries internal resistance will
verify the operating integrity of the
battery. An alarm sounds for any outof-tolerance condition. If resistance
values exceed set thresholds, the user
can take proactive actions.
