1 PRESENTATION
The monitoring unit type PCM2 is designed for monitoring and control of battery based DC
systems.
A strict safety approach characterises the whole product. This is evident in things like the well-
planned alarm functions, the important control characteristics such as the temperature controlled
float charging voltage and an operator panel with graphic clear text display based on a simple
and easy to understand menu system and alarm indication with both LEDs and clear text
messages.
These instructions above all deal with all operation of the monitoring unit and are therefore
chiefly aimed at the personnel that have the day to day responsibility for running the installation,
but also to other personnel who have cause to work with the DC system.
It also contains information on installation, commissioning, service, maintenance and technical
data that is specific to the monitoring unit and is therefore aimed at the personnel who are
responsible for these areas.
The monitoring unit usually works in combination with one or more rectifiers in a complete DC
system. For the description of the rectifier and the system in general, we refer you to the general
system manual.
