THE ADVERC GUARDIAN LVPM

Take a look at some typical LVPM applications

Most ADVERC Battery Management Systems are designed to enhance on-board alternator charging. The GUARDIAN approach provides low voltage protection, in several forms.

The simplest system, the GUARDIAN ‘L’ type provides a visual and/or audible alarm in the event of a low voltage situation. It does, however, have a spur that can activate a relay, at a chosen voltage, selecting or disengaging nominated circuits.

The GUARDIAN ‘A’ version works in conjunction with a relay/solenoid, providing isolation of the battery or electrical equipment should an unacceptable low battery voltage condition arise.

A combined lamp and button in the vehicles cab provides a visual indication of the time remaining before isolation. The button provides instant isolation i.e. without waiting for a low voltage condition to arise, or pulls the solenoid back-in, once it has isolated.

The GUARDIAN ‘TA’ unit provides the same end result, without the visual warning. It provides a fit and forget approach and is ideal for vehicle tail-lift applications. The vehicle driver is in no way involved, other than to start the vehicle.

Installation time is dramatically reduced for the GUARDIAN ‘TA’ (taking approximately 1 hour).

In addition to providing electrical isolation, the GUARDIAN ‘TA’ can pull in support batteries or equipment, should a services bank be over-stretched, for example.

The GUARDIAN ‘TAB’ is a ‘TA’ system enclosed in a near water-proof box. It is especially suitable for vehicle fleet applications, for OE or retrofit installations. In this instance, the installation time for this bolt-on approach is approximately 10 minutes, because everything can be customised for a particular vehicle.

Using programmable software, voltage and other settings are variable to suit particular applications and circumstances.

Emphasis has been placed on preventing water ingress.

GUARDIAN systems are available as 12v and 24v options and are suitable for vehicle and marine use.

GUARDIAN is CE approved and EMC compliant to 95/54/EC.
