WORLD’S MOST ACCURATE BATTERY MONITORS
Knowledge Is Power
Merlin Power Systems offers the world’s most accurate battery monitoring solutions. Unlike standard amp-hour (Ah) counting monitors, Merlin battery monitors become more accurate over time and never get out of synch. Keep your vehicles, boats, and equipment running with always-accurate battery State of Health (SoH) and State of Charge (SoC).
Our easy-to-read displays and dependable SoC percentage readings let even the most technically challenged individuals to understand how much power is left in a system’s batteries.
DATACELL: Boost Performance Up To Four Battery Banks
The most accurate battery monitor commercially available!
Becomes more accurate over time, unlike other battery monitors or amp-hour counters.
Provides volts and State of Charge for up to four battery banks (12V or 24V).
High/low voltage and high/low State of Charge alarms.
Generous 8 input/8 output interface supports simultaneous control (auto start and stop of generators, load shedding, and external alarms).
Information displayed on remote panel or computer via RS232 interface.
Three-wire install for each bank; no shunts or heavy cabling.
Free Merlin dashboard software.
DISPLAY OPTIONS: Shipped with a plug’n'play RS232 interface for datalogging and dashboard software. View data with built-in displays; or, customize your own. Remote LED or LCD control/display panels are available separately.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION: Interfaces with MerlinNet and PowerBank. MerlinNet Expansion Modules provide additional inputs and outputs, while PowerBank provides intelligent split charging and dead-battery protection for up to four battery banks.
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION: Power-hungry battery monitors drain batteries not in use. DataCell consumes a minuscule 5mA. Meanwhile, a 100Ah battery can support DataCell for a year without charging.
PACKAGE INCLUDES: DataCell battery monitor, wiring loom, configuration kit with RS232/USB cable, and software CD containing: configuration and set-up software, datalogging software, GaugeBuilder and dashboard software. Compatible with Windows.
DATACELL II: The World’s Most Advanced Battery
The world’s most advanced battery monitor!
Independently tested accuracy better than 2%.
Provides volts, amps, amp hours, SoC, SoH, temperature, and time remaining for up to four battery banks.
8x programmable input/outputs for external alarms, load shedding, generator stop/start.
Data viewable on remote panel or PC via RS232 interface.
Information displayed on remote panel or computer via RS232 interface.
Never runs out of synchronization.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER: Prevents internal battery damage, enhances performance, and extends battery life for up to four battery banks. Eliminates early battery replacements and enables predictive maintenance with State of Health information. Perform detailed system diagnostics to your laptop. Equipped with 8 inputs/8 outputs for manual or automated control.
DISPLAY OPTIONS: Ships with a plug’n'play RS232 interface for datalogging and dashboard software. View data with built-in displays. Or customize your own. Remote LED or LCD control/display panels are also available.
PACKAGE INCLUDES: DataCell II battery monitor, wiring loom, 500A 50mV shunt(s), temperaturesSensor(s), fuse kit, configuration kit with RS232/USB cable, software CD containing: configuration and set-up software, datalogging software, GaugeBuilder and dashboard software. Compatible with Windows. Packaged systems with panels included are also available.
SMARTGAUGE: The Answer To Battery-Management Questions
Model-based battery monitor for 12 and 24V systems.
Always tracks battery SoC and never needs synchronization, unlike amp-hour counting monitors.
Provides voltage and SoC percentage readings for the auxiliary battery and voltage for the engine-start battery.
Unmatched battery monitoring accuracy allows for auto-start/stop of generators, load shedding or trigger of external alarms when necessary.
Answers questions such as “Are the batteries charged yet?” and “When should I start recharging the engine?”
AUTOMATION OF SYSTEMS: Using Ah counters to automatically start/stop generators and shed loads is often fraught with trouble. As soon as the Ah counter runs out of synchronization, generators start firing up at unexpected times, and loads are switched off when more than enough battery capacity remains. Because SmartGauge never runs out of synch, it is your generator’s perfect auto-start/stop controller. The free alarm contact provided can also be used to bring on remote alarms or turn off loads.
INFORMATION: Provides battery voltage and SoC percentages for one main battery bank. Suitable for 12 or 24V-battery banks of 50-2000Ah. It also displays the voltage only for a second (normally engine) battery. High/low voltage alarms and State of Charge percentage alarm are also standard features.
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION: Uses around a tenth of the power of a competitive monitor. Because battery monitors should be left connected at all times, power usage is very important. SmartGauge uses just 3.5Ah per month, whereas, a 100Ah battery can power SmartGauge (with no charge sources) for about 14 months.
EASY INSTALLATION: Connects using just three wires; no complex heavy cabling or shunts are required. Installation is possible within about 20 to 30 minutes.
SPLIT CHARGE SYSTEM INTEGRATION: Can interface directly with Merlin SmartBank Advanced, SmartBank PRO, and SmartGuard COMBI. Once interfaced, SmartGauge becomes a split charge system control panel to display status and allows menu-based on-screen programming. SmartGauge also continuously tunes the split charging system as the batteries age to ensure that split charging remains effective throughout the life of the batteries (and retunes to their eventual replacements).
