Franklin Electric CELLGUARD SYSTEM-ELS Electrolyte Level Monitor
The Franklin Electric CELLGUARD SYSTEM-ELS Electrolyte Level Monitor is a specialist device that keeps a constant watch on electrolyte levels in lead-acid batteries. It works in real time, all day and night, so you always know the condition of your batteries. This makes it ideal for critical sites where battery failure is not an option.
By spotting a drop in electrolyte levels early, the Franklin Electric CELLGUARD SYSTEM-ELS Electrolyte Level Monitor helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and the expensive downtime that can follow. Maintenance teams get the warning they need to act before a small problem becomes a serious one.
Continuous Electrolyte Battery Monitoring System
The monitor uses a non-contact optical sensor to measure electrolyte levels. This means it does not touch the liquid inside the battery. As a result, there is no risk of contamination and no need for direct handling during inspections.
This approach improves safety by reducing exposure to acid or electrical hazards. It also saves time because checks are carried out automatically rather than manually. If the electrolyte drops below a set level, the system sends an alert straight away. Early warnings like this are one of the best ways to avoid sudden battery failures.
Improved Safety and Reliability
Low electrolyte levels can cause many problems. They can lead to overheating, loss of capacity, or even complete battery failure. These issues can appear slowly over time or develop suddenly.
The Franklin Electric CELLGUARD SYSTEM-ELS Electrolyte Level Monitor gives you the chance to deal with the problem before damage is done. This means you can plan maintenance rather than react to emergencies. By acting early, you can extend battery life and reduce costly call-outs. The system also supports compliance with standards such as IEEE and NERC, which are used for stationary battery maintenance.
Easy to Install and Connect
The system is flexible. It can work on its own or connect to larger monitoring systems. When linked with Franklin Electric’s CELLGUARD SYSTEM or CELLTRAQ software, it becomes part of a centralised monitoring network.
With this setup, you can see all your battery data in one place. You can view information remotely, receive alarm notifications, and store results for later review. This makes it easier to spot patterns and plan preventive work.
Built for Low Maintenance
The Franklin Electric CELLGUARD SYSTEM-ELS Electrolyte Level Monitor is made to last. It has no moving parts, which means less chance of failure. The sensors can handle acid vapour, temperature changes, and electrical noise without losing accuracy.
Because the monitor runs automatically, there is no need for frequent site visits just to check electrolyte levels. This saves labour costs and allows maintenance teams to focus on other important jobs.
CELLGUARD SYSTEM-ELS Applications:
- Telecom central offices and mobile cell sites
- Utility substations and control centres
- Data centre UPS systems
- Industrial backup power installations
In each of these environments, keeping electrolyte levels within safe limits is key to avoiding battery problems. Continuous monitoring reduces manual checks and ensures that issues are found early.
