The PowerTrac SP Series is a battery-monitoring system developed specifically to meet the needs of industrial and motive battery systems. The new battery monitor tracks and logs various battery performance data including battery voltage, battery temperature, and battery current. A conventional current shunt is used to provide continuous battery current sensing.
The PowerTrac SP is equipped with an infrared (IR) port for wireless interface via IrDA ports and PDA devices, such as a Palm Pilot. An optional RS232 interface is available upon request.
Advantages:
• Compact size
• Advanced data logging capability
• Simple user interfaces (Palm and Windows)
Applications:
• Industrial Electric Vehicles:
- Forklift trucks
- Ground support equipment (GSEs)
• Neighborhood electric vehicles
Features & Benefits

Advanced User Interface
The PowerTrac SP incorporates advanced user interfaces including an infrared (IR) port, an optional RS-232 communication port, Windows GUI and Palm OS interfaces.
Track Battery Performance and Manage Fleets
With the on-board non-volatile memory, PowerTrac tracks battery performance over the life of the battery. A unique battery ID can be programmed to track individual battery performance as well as manage fleet operations.
Schedule Maintenance Operations
The advanced user interface allows fleet managers to oversee and schedule maintenance operations as well as predict battery replacements. |
