Battery discharge Management:
Battery discharge management can be carried out either
manually (locally or remotely) or automatically with a custo-
mer adjustable duration and interval. The MCU controller sets
the rectifier output voltage to 1,8 V/c either via the RS485
bus (if rectifiers with interface card are used) or via an
additional relay (if rectifiers without interface card). They are
not switched off.
3
Energy Management
to Lower your Costs
The battery voltage is higher than 1,8 V/c, therefore the load
is discharging the batteries. The battery test mode will be
stopped either by a preset time or if the battery voltage
reaches an adjustable limit. If the voltage reaches this limit,
the MCU will indicate automatically ”battery not OK” this
alarm will not clear until a new battery test is finished
successfully. A report is automatically sent via modem or
Ethernet network.

MCU an Interface
for Telecom & Industry
Remote Monitoring Features
Via the RS232 interface on the MCU the system can be remo-
tely monitored. The MCU has an automatic call back function.
In alarm conditions, the MCU sends a complete protocol
(analogue values and alarms) to a central control station. This
remote monitoring can be achieved via different IT solutions:
The most common method used today is to connect the
MCU via a telephone modem to the control station. For this
application analogue- and GSM AT-modems are used.

Additional measurement:
• individual rectifier current
• total rectifier current monitor display and service display
• total battery current
• battery temperature

Basic measurements:
• load current
• load voltage
• additional current or temperature

Basic monitoring:
• high voltage
• low voltage
• battery fuse
• mains
• rectifiers

System reliability:
MCU is not used to control the modules, therefore all of the
rectifiers continue operating at their own present values if the
MCU fails. In this case MCU will raise an alarm.
