Non-intrusive installation
The electrolyte sensors are mounted to the cell wall with double-sided industrial foam tape (supplied already installed to the sensor). Installation is a simple matter of peeling off the tape backing and affixing the sensor to the cell wall such that the top of the sensor is positioned at the “normal” fluid level. This mounting system is very strong, yet sensors can be removed if necessary. The adhesives used do not react with the battery housing or with the clear plastic shrink-wrap that covers the housing on some types.
The electrolyte sensor communicates with the site controller via the PBT battery sensor and is also powered by the battery sensor over the interconnection daisy chain.
Easy visual indicators for setup and operations
Each electrolyte sensor has a bi-color LED on its top surface. This LED serves multiple purposes during setup and operation. During normal operation, the electrolyte sensor is in a low-power “sleep” mode and the LED will be off. Every few seconds, the electrolyte sensors are awakened by the battery sensor in order to collect status information.
While the electrolyte sensors are awake, the LED provides a local status indication; Green = “Normal”, Red/Green flickering = “Warning” and Red = “Low”.
