1.3 Optional Status Monitoring Modules
The GMX Power Supply supports a number of Alpha Technologies communications modules.
The modules may be ordered factory-installed or as user-installed field upgrades.
Handle these modules with extreme care. Circuit boards and logic upgrades are static-sensitive and
susceptible to damage.
CAUTION!
AlphaGuard ™ Battery Charge Management System (CMT)
The AlphaGuard Battery Charge Management System
extends battery life by providing the precise voltage required
for each battery. You can replace single batteries as they
fail, not the entire string. It spreads charge voltage equally
across batteries, and batteries no longer need to be matched.
It adjusts for battery changes as they age. The optional
communications module monitors individual battery voltage
during inverter operation, protecting against damage from over
discharge. The AG-CMT-3 model supports 36V battery strings.
The AG-CMT- supports 8V battery strings. Refer to the
AlphaGuard Installation Instructions, Alpha P/N 012-306-C0,
for detailed information.
AlphaNet ESM
AlphaNet ™ Ethernet Status Monitor (ESM)
The AlphaNet ESM (Alpha P/N 745-814) allows monitoring of
your GMX Power Supply via a network connection. Advanced
features and networking services provide for quick reporting and
access to critical powering information, keeping your broadband
network running reliably.
The AlphaNet ESM supports the standard networking protocols
required for effective power network management. The ESM
provides efficient network status monitoring and diagnostics using
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and standard
MIBs. A Web interface enables authorized personnel direct
access to powerful, advanced diagnostics using a common Web
browser. No custom software is required. Refer to the AlphaNet
ESM Technical Manual, Alpha P/N 704-782-B0, for more
information.
AlphaNet ™ DOCSIS Status Monitor (DSM)
The AlphaNet DSM (Alpha P/N 745-825) provides the
same funtionality as the AlphaNet ESM, but features an
environmentally hardened embedded DOCSIS ® cable modem for
convenience and reliability. Refer to the AlphaNet DSM Technical
Manual, Alpha P/N 704-818-B0, for more information.
