Availability date:
The 60VDCM sensor provides two sets of connection wires. Connect the wires with ring terminals to the battery system. These carry the input voltage (0 to 60VDC) to the sensor, where circuity translates this input into an output voltage (0 to 5VDC). Run the other set of wires to the Geist Climate Monitor and attach them to either an Analog Input or Analog to Digital Converter.
Connecting to the Geist Climate Monitor
Most Geist Climate Monitors have input terminals for connecting analog sensors like the 60VDCM sensor. These Analog Inputs accept a 0 to 5VDC signal which is reported on the Geist Climate Monitor as a 0 to 99 value. The Geist Climate Monitor logs these values along with other internal sensor readings. You can identify an Analog Input by its user-defi ned “friendly” name. An Analog to Digital Converter converts an analog sensor to digital. This lets you connect a 60VDCM sensor to a digital sensor port when no Analog Inputs are available. The 60VDCM connects to the screw terminals to the Analog to Digital Converter and then the Analog to Digital Converter connects to the Geist Climate Monitor.
Alarms
By setting appropriate trip points on the Geist Climate Monitor’s alarm page, you can receive an automatic alert (via email or SNMP) to a potentially dead, discharged, or overcharged battery bank based on the battery voltage.
