What is an MPM-100? The Alber MPM-100 is a complete battery

diagnostic system well suited for a variety ofmonitoring applications

The MPM-100 can measure and store thefollowing data

Cell voltage Battery voltage Cell resistance

Ambient and electrolyte temperature Discharge current Float current Battery discharge data


4/38

How Does the MPM-

100 Work? The MPM-100 is permanently connected to

a battery via sense lead wiring describedlater in this tutorial

The MPM-100 continuously scans key

operating parameters for unacceptabledeviations from defined limits

When a threshold is exceeded, the MPM-100 can be programmed to alert the userwith a number of reporting methods

Wiring and Cable

Harness InstallationAll field wiring is installed on-site by the

contractorVoltage sense leads are terminated based

on the job-specific requirements Number of cells monitored

Wiring is typically distributed throughoutthe battery with the use of Panduittm orother similar plastic channel system

Wire and Cable Harnesses Sense

Lead TerminationA prefabricated sense lead pigtail is

supplied assembled and requires the useof an in-line splice to terminate it to thesense lead harness

Each cell has a voltage sense lead as wellas an intertier sense lead

Wire and Cable

Harnesses Terminating the sense leads to the battery requires the

use of one or more types of quick connect fasteners

Tab washers are one of several methods employed toproperly terminate a sense lead to a cell

Additional methods include post clips, c-clamps

MPM-100 Power

Supply Requirements The MPM-100 can be powered 3 ways

1. An MPM monitoring a 48 volt or lower battery is

powered directly from the battery 2. An AC power adapter plugged into protected power

source (standard)

3. An optional internal DC-DC converter with powersupplied from the battery
