1. Introduction
This manual provides guided steps on how to install the Eagle Eye BDS-Pro Battery Monitoring
System safely and effectively. Please read this manual carefully to fully understand the
functionality of the BDS-Pro.
1.1 Safety Information
Operation methods and safety measures described in this manual are only applicable to the
defined purpose and functionality of the BDS-Pro. If the BDS-Pro is used in a way not specified
in this manual, the safety of the equipment, personnel, and property cannot be assured.
•Please read this manual carefully to avoid accidental injury or misuse of product.
•Only qualified personnel with proper tools and equipment should work on batteries.
•To avoid damage and injury due to the short circuiting of battery terminals, wrap
insulating tape around all metallic parts.
•Do not wear metallic items such as jewelry, watches, & rings. Wear insulated gloves and
goggles when working around batteries.
•Ensure an installation supervisor is on hand when connecting the BDS-Pro and battery
post to avoid fire or personal injury.
•Make sure all personnel are fully aware of safety guidelines.

2. Product Overview
The BDS-Pro is designed to monitor and analyze the state of health of up to (24) cells by
measuring and recording:
String: Voltage & DC Float / Discharge Current
Jar/Cell: Voltage, Internal Resistance / Connection Resistance, & Temperature
All BDS-Pro solutions come complete with battery management software which allows all
battery systems to be monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year via remote computer(s). This
software offers comprehensive battery diagnosis and reporting capabilities to ensure the
integrity of your critical backup power system.
Alternatively, systems can be configured for Modbus communication for integration to a third-
party building management system or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition).
The BDS-Pro is composed of the MPU (main processing unit), Sensing Cables, Connection
Clamps, & CT.
