The battery monitor checks the health of the DC battery system. It provides an analog
indication of the current DC voltage derived from a contact input wired between the
positive and negative rails of the battery system. This signal is used to generate high and
low DC voltage alarms. This function also monitors and conditions the auxiliary alarm
contacts from the battery charger.
The following indications and alarms are provided for the battery monitor function.
