JavelinaBatteryPlatformService (PowerMonitorService) applies to a station running in a 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. In addition, 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. Note the JACE-7 controller has three onboard CIs, with the intended use for UPS AC power lost, UPS low battery, and (door) tamper switch.

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).

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