And by the way, a team of two customer technicians installed six units in a single day, including a sit down lunch (down goes another obstacle). There it is, the very compact, robustly built, black monitor directly centered above the battery string.Īll in all, Sentry monitors are installed on 3 different racks/cabinets at both indoor and outdoor sites. Its presence may only be given away by the blue network cabling on top of the 4x12V string of batteries. Want to see it? Here it is…Ĭan you find the Sentry battery monitor in this picture? Again, this small outdoor cabinet contains a fully-installed continuous battery monitor. While BatteryDAQ didn’t create that obstacle, we solved for it. “But, wait just a second! Not every telecom rack looks like that!” Sure enough, there are many rack/cabinet varieties out there. Minimal wiring is indeed one of the obstacles that no longer exist. If it wasn’t for the Sentry on the side of the rack, most people wouldn’t even notice the wiring. This is a finished, fully-installed remote monitoring solution. What you are looking at is a BatteryDAQ Sentry monitoring a 30x12V shelter configuration. Not convinced? As Bruno Mars sings, “Don’t believe me, just watch!”
Here is the punch line for this blog: BatteryDAQ Sentry monitors render all of those obstacles obsolete! That is correct, all of the reasons for not deploying 24/7 comprehensive battery monitoring at remote telecom sites are no longer valid. So, what’s the problem with Remote battery monitoring? Well, today, the answer is “not a thing!” However, historically there were several very real obstacles to implementing continuous battery monitoring at remote telecom sites.
