The BM51 Battery String Monitor is easy to use, and simple to install connecting only three test lead terminals
to the battery string.
Once connected the set-up is fully automatic
battery monitoring system.
The BM51 is suitable for 2V to 150V, and 10Ah to 10000Ah batteries. It periodically measures two voltages,
ambient temperature, midpoint impedance, operating time, discharging time, and monitors error conditions.

BM51 | Remote battery bank monitor |
Simple to use, automatic set-up
Three terminal connection to battery
Monitors seven battery parameters
2 V to 150 V, 10 Ah to 10 000 Ah batteries
User programmable alarm limits
User programmable measurement intervals
Far distance monitoring and programming
Supply from battery under test or external
Cascadable on high voltage batteries
Potential free RS232 and alarm output
Deviations outside preset limits activate an alarm.
The monitor is either supplied from the battery or from an external 7V to 70V DC-supply.
At installation, or at any time later, measured values and alarm conditions can be read via Interface,
or preset limits can be modified using a computer.
The BM51 interface- and relay outputs are isolated. Consequently, on high voltage batteries several
BM51 can be cascaded without endangering the operator.
