Javelina Battery Platform Service (platPower-JavelinaBatteryPlatformService)

This component applies to a station running in the JACE-700 (JACE-7 series) controller. It can monitor primary power status and backup battery levels in both the onboard 12V NiMH battery and an optional 12V sealed-lead acid (SLA) battery.

It can monitor alarm contacts of an external, customer-supplied UPS— if enabled and wired to the two corresponding onboard contact inputs (CIs) of the controller. The JACE-7 controller has three onboard CIs, with the intended use for UPS AC power lost, UPS low battery, and (door) tamper switch.

The tamper switch CI on the JACE-7 controller is enabled and monitored by two properties in the PowerMonitorService’s parent PlatformServices container).

Configuration properties in this PowerMonitorService allow changing the shutdown delay time, and also specifying whether external equipment is connected (12V SLA battery, UPS). Separate alarm source configuration properties are available for all five types of alarms (low NiMH battery level, low SLA battery level, primary power lost, UPS AC power lost, UPS low battery).

The support is enabled and configured at JACE commissioning time. For related details, see JACE power monitoring configuration in the latest JACE Niagara 4 Install and Startup Guide.
