1. MPM‐100GeneralDescription
TheMPM‐100isastand‐alonemonitorforcommunicationandpowerindustryapplications.WhatsetsAlbér
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(agenericPC)displayingstatusscreens.

Usingpollinganddatatransferalgorithms,theBatteryMonitorDataManagerprogramletsaCentral
computermanageover1000monitorsystems.Dataisstoredinthecomputerdatabaseforlateranalysisand
reporting.Atanytime,servicepersonnelmaycallabatterylocationfromtheCentralcomputeroraremote
location(suchasfromhome),ordirectlyconnecttothemonitorwithoutlosingcontactwiththecomputer.

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aredisplayedasalist,toeasilyidentifytroublespots.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.Becausethemonitorsarestand‐aloneunitswithnoexternal
computerneeded,aprimaryprotocolusingModbusASCIIwasselectedtoletyou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.
1.1.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.
1.2.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.
1.3.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anMPM‐100,uptoeightintertierscanbeconfiguredforthismeasurement.
1.4.Alarm Features
ThemonitormaybesettoautomaticallycalltheCentralcomputertoreportanalarmconditionwhen
detected.You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up,andanalarmrelaywithaFormCcontactenergizes.Thealarmsmaybe
setforlatchingornonlatching.

4200-062 2 Revision 2.01
1.5.Controlled Run Down Test
Youcanprogramtimeintervals(indays)andlengthoftime(inminutes)tohaveacontactclosureoptionally
putthesystemonbattery.Duringthistime,thesystemtreatstheconditionasadischargeandsavesthe
changingparameterstoadischargerecordforplaybackandanalysis.
