The Remote Battery Monitoring System (RBMS) from Alpha provides detailed, real time information on batteries, reducing unnecessary costly truck rolls, and ensuring actual outage backup times are not unknowingly compromised by degraded batteries. Scalable up to 2 strings of 4 batteries each, the system provides detailed information on every battery, from admittance to individual battery temperatures and string voltages. This, and a wealth of other information (including alarms) can be monitored directly via SNMP. Unit has a built-in SNMP proxy, a built-in web server, and a built-in SMTP mail client.
