BATTERY MONITOR
VOLTAGE/GROUND METER/ALARM
RELAYS
 Arga
Controls' Battery Monitor is a breakthrough in ground fault detection.
This full Battery Voltage/Ground Meter/ Alarm Relay automatically indicates
the instant a ground occurs. The optional hand-held ground fault locator
finds the exact location of that ground, no matter where it is in the
line.
This highly accurate DC voltage meter relay provides voltage readings
of battery, + or -BUS to ground, and ground fault voltages for protection
of the essential BUS. The ground fault relays indicate the ground anywhere
in the system, whether on the " + " or the "-" side. Over/Under Voltage
relays are provided. Fail safe operation of the under voltage relay
operates correctly down to zero volts. Time delay, which can be set
from 5 to 60 seconds, is provided to avoid nuisance alarms.

PROGRAMMING
Programming the Meter Relay is simple. LED lights indicate the range
being shown. Alarms, Time Delay, Reset, and Limit Settings are all
easily set by removing the front panel, which can be safely done
while the power is on. Set Limits are displayed while programming.
Digital or Analog outputs are also available for SCADA.
APPLICATIONS
A single DC ground is not particularly destructive, however, a second
ground can shut down the system. This seriously jeopardizes the integrity
of facilities that rely on battery systems to power generation/distribution
and multilevel communications. The Arga Battery Monitor system can't
stop grounds from happening, but it can totally eliminate any system
threat from these faults by sensing and locating the fault, thus
allowing immediate correction. Knowing the history of system voltage
changes is also an excellent tool for easier maintenance. The accuracy
of the digital or analog output for trend information provided by
the Arga Monitor allows a traceable history file on all battery system
activity. When used for trend analysis, accurate predictions of failures
is implemented. When used in the latching mode, faults in the system
are held in memory.
