Genset Engine Start

SENS is the industry’s leading supplier of genset engine starting chargers and best battery selectors. Engine generator sets (gensets) generate power for many buildings, industrial facilities, venues,  and military sites when utility power is unavailable.

Industrial DC Power

Power generators, electric utilities, and industrial plants operate a vast array of protective relays, circuit breakers, switchgear, and control electronics that keep all that power under control, preventing malfunctions from turning into high-powered disasters.

Battery Monitoring

Remote battery monitoring can save maintenance costs, predict impending battery failures and extend battery service life. Our systems can extend their monitoring and control capabilities to generators, chargers/inverters, HVAC systems, and building monitoring.

PBT-RIM

 

Remote Input Module (RIM)

PBT-RIM-[x][y]

The RIM is a remote input module that is designed to operate in conjunction with PBT’s battery monitoring system or with the ContactAgent general purpose remote monitoring system.

The RIM operates with ContactAgents or site controllers via the “P-Bus” powered RS485 expansion bus. The site controller supplies operating power and communications signaling for the RIM slave over the P-Bus using common CAT5/RJ45 interconnect cabling.

DATA SHEET

Expand through Daisy Chaining

Up to four RIMs can be operated in a “daisy-chain” configuration on each site controller P-Bus port. This provides a maximum expansion capability of four RIMs per ContactAgent or eight RIMs per SC4 site controller. Each RIM provides six analog/digital interface points that can be used to monitor contact closures, logic states or to measure AC or DC analog voltages.

The status of each input for every RIM on the ContactAgent or site controller’s P-Bus is viewable from the built-in web server, or via SNMP. RIM input states and voltages can be user-configured to generate alarms according to user-specified thresholds/states.

RIMs also contain an internal temperature sensor, an optional humidity sensor, and an interface to plug in a low-voltage wall transformer (Model PBT-WT-12) for measuring and monitoring commercial AC power-line voltage.
