NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual. Product Overview The SD08 Battery Fail Monitor module (see Figure 1) is designed to monitor the status of a single battery string. The method used is “battery midpoint voltage monitoring.” The SD08 connection to the battery string splits the battery string voltage in half at the midpoint. -

The SD08, 19" or 23" unit, should be mounted to the rack using two #12 – 24 x 1/2" screws in each bracket. Philips-type screws and screwdriver should be used to eliminate the possibility of slippage and scratching of the unit’s exterior. -
Page 13: Wiring And Connections
Do not over tighten the terminal screws. This may result in damage to the input connectors. The Fail Alarm terminals are connected to relay contacts in the SD08 module and both normally open or normally closed contacts are provided. Latching is jumper selectable. -
Page 14: Module Installation And Removal
Battery sense leads should be bundled and routed through the rear of the module or rack per drawing 018-546- 08. Route through the side of the SD08 in the case of the stand-alone or wall mount unit. Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal on the termination block and secure the wires by tightening the terminal screw. -
Page 15: Initial Startup
1. Confirm that the battery sense leads and alarm cables are connected to the terminal of the correct polarity at the SD08 module. See TB (terminal block) in Figure 5. WARNING Check battery polarity. Failure to do so could damage the unit and or battery. -
Page 16: Operation
Fail Alarm Contacts The SD08 module has a terminal block (plug in cable connector) for the Form C relay alarm contacts located on the rear of the module PCB; both normally open and normally closed contacts are available. The Fail Alarm contacts will change state when the voltage difference between the two halves monitored exceeds the programmed value set by the front panel control. -
