Battery Monitoring System—Optional
The matching Liebert battery cabinets allow installing an optional Alber BDSi battery monitoring
system inside the cabinet. The Alber BDSi by Emerson continuously checks all critical battery
parameters, such as cell voltage, overall string voltage, current and temperature. Automatic periodic
tests of internal resistance of each battery will verify the battery's operating integrity. Additional
capabilities include automatic internal DC resistance tests and trend analysis providing the ability to
analyze performance and aid in troubleshooting.
The Alber BDSi system is installed inside the battery cabinet as shown in Figures 11 and 12. The
monitoring system power inlet is wired to the Alber BDSi Fuse Block on the UPS (see ,Figures 13
and 66). The Alber BDSI fuse block supplies 120VAC and has an 8A fuse.
If required, power can be supplied from the output terminals of the UPS, a distribution panel or
another UPS-protected source.
For details about operating the Alber system, refer to the Alber unit’s documentation, available at
