Power requirements – BM (Convergence Module) 85–264VAC (standard), DC 48V or DC 110–370V (optional), 15W
Monitoring capacity Maximum 300 cells per group. One Convergence Module manages up to six battery groups, with a maximum monitored total of 960 cells.
Monitoring range Suitable for 2V, 6V, 12V batteries with capacity less than 3000AH.
Dielectric withstand voltage 2000VAC
Reliability – Automatic restart trigger Built-in WDT
Reliability – MTBF 100,000 hours
Protection Dual-level protection for measurement and power circuits. TA modules feature reverse polarity protection and optical isolation.
Measurement range & accuracy – Group voltage 20–800V; ±0.5%
Measurement range & accuracy – Cell voltage 2 V, 6 V, 12 V; ±0.1%
Measurement range & accuracy – Cell internal resistance 50–65535uΩ; ±2% with a resolution of 1 μΩ
