maximum of 300V with respect to earth ground. The user must verify the voltage with
respect to earth ground before connecting the system. Do this by measuring the voltage
from each battery post referenced to earth ground. The voltage cannot exceed 300V.
If the user is using an optional UPS with the system, be certain the UPS internal battery is
functional. Follow instructions in the UPS manufacturer's manual.
4 Preventive Maintenance
4.1 Visual Inspection
Visually inspect all monitor system components for damaged or frayed power cords and cables,
and damaged component panels, controls, and connectors. When damage is detected, remove
the equipment from service until the damage is repaired.
4.2 Cleaning System Components
Clean system components using a soft cloth, slightly moistened with water. Do not use
commercial or industrial cleaners that may attack the computer display and housing. Never
expose the computer or system components to water, high humidity, or dampness.
WARNING:
Before cleaning equipment, ensure the system is disconnected and power to the units
has been shut off. The user must disconnect system components and the monitor
system cabinet, if a cabinet is being used, from AC and/or DC power sources.
4.3 Fans and Vents
Remove dust from fans and vents using a small brush or hand held vacuum. Immobilize fan
blades to avoid over–speed when using a vacuum.
4.4 Sense Leads (When Applicable)
Before cleaning the sense lead clips, ensure the system is disconnected and power to the
system has been shut off. Clean the sense leads as required. The acid to which the sense lead
clips are exposed during testing must be neutralized often, using a water and baking soda
mixture. Brush this mixture onto the sense lead clip, and then rinse well with clean, cool tap
water. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE:
Some equipment and systems may not be equipped with lead clips.
4.5 Internal Components
The monitor system has no user–replaceable components. Since high voltage exists in most

6/5/2017
WARNING:
High voltages exist inside the monitor system components and on the terminals.
Calibration must be performed only by technically qualified persons.
Observe electrical safety precautions when removing and installing equipment covers
and when connecting leads and making adjustments.
4.6 Shipping, Storage, Normal Use Protection
Protect the system from physical impact during normal use or storage, and when necessary,
provide protection during shipment between test sites.
5 Product Overview
The BDS–40 is a stand–alone monitor for UPS applications and is designed for use with UPS
battery cabinets. What sets Albércorp. monitors apart from others is their ability to provide early
warning of battery problems. The monitor checks the state of health of each cell by performing a
proactive resistance test, a reliable predictor of battery performance. In addition, to indicate
immediate battery health and monitor status of a given location, the system reports to a Central
computer i.e. a generic PC, displaying status screens.
Using polling and data transfer algorithms, the Battery Monitor Data Manager software program
allows the user to manage over 1000 monitor systems from a central PC. Data is stored in the
computer’s database for later analysis and reporting. At any time, service personnel may call a
battery location from the Central computer or a remote location, or directly connect to the
monitor.
The Data Manager string and monitor status indicators make central battery monitoring easy.
Terms such as Discharging, Alarm, or Warning for string status or Active for monitor status
quickly summarize events. Conditions reported to the Central computer display as a list, to
identify trouble spots easily. The system also features several methods of automated reporting
of alarm occurrences, such as contacting key personnel via a pager, email, or fax.
Flexibility was a major design consideration. Since the monitors are stand–alone units with no
external computer needed, a primary protocol using MODBUS ASCII was selected to allow the
user to incorporate the monitor into large–scale facility monitors. This allows third–party
interfaces to access all the stand–alone features of the monitor, yet leaves the advanced
features of the Data Manager remote communication software available for service personnel.
5.1 Normal Operating Mode
In normal mode, the system scans all parameters in one to five seconds, depending on the
configuration. As readings are taken, they are compared to user–programmed alarm levels. The
monitor can then call a Central computer and energize an alarm contact if a parameter exceeds
a level. Front panel LEDs indicate scan and alarm status, and alarm events are stored in
memory for future analysis. The BDS can be programmed for critical and maintenance alarms.
5.2 Discharge Mode
If a discharge is detected, the system goes into a data logging mode and stores battery voltages
and discharge current into a discharge record.

Product Overview
4200–045

6/5/2017
5.3 Resistance Test Mode
A battery resistance test may be performed at user–set intervals. The test is similar to that
performed by the Albér Cellcorder. On a BDS–40, up to ten intertiers can be configured for this
measurement.
5.4 BDS–40 Features
This section describes standard and optional BDS–40 features:
♦Scans all pertinent battery parameters, such as overall voltage, cell voltages, current,
and temperature.
♦Performs a scheduled resistance test of all cells/jars and intertiers, and stores results for
trending analysis.
♦Auto detects discharges based on Overall Volts or Discharge Current, and stores data
for real time or accelerated time playback.
♦Signals if any parameter is outside user–programmed limits, energizes a Form C relay
contact, and calls a Central computer to report the alarm condition.
♦Communicates with an external computer via USB, RS–232, modem, and LAN.
5.4.1 Alarm Features
The monitor may be set to call the Central computer to report an alarm condition when detected
automatically. The user can program high and low alarm levels on all voltage and temperature
parameters, and a high alarm level for resistance. When any parameter goes outside the normal
range, the monitor stores the event in memory, the Alarm LED lights, and an alarm relay with a
Form C contact energizes. The alarms may be set for latching or non–latching.
