Description
The SCU+ is a powerful control unit used in DC power applications. It can provide
remote monitoring of the telecom site's AC mains supply, DC power plant, battery
backup, diesel generator and site environment, etc.
Featuring advanced battery management such as sophisticated boost charge
control, remaining time and capacity prediction, constant current test, scheduled
test and fast test, the SCU+ realizes easy and reliable battery maintenance.
Furthermore, with basic energy savings and easy to use web interface, the
SCU+ is a highly cost-efficient product.
The information and alarms from a specific site can be monitored or checked with a
simple web browser or special monitoring software. When using a web browser, no
additional software is needed, and the web browser login is password protected.
