During a routine system voltage scan a fault has been detected. Jar 12 has fallen below 12.2 volts, triggering an alarm.CELLWATCH Battery Monitoring Systems are designed to be flexible, catering for battery configurations of multiple batteries in multiple strings. In addition each battery may be a different configuration of up to 4 strings, allowing for just about any variety of battery or UPS system that your imagination can create. For configuration detail visit our configuration guide.

The whole battery summary information is displayed on the entry screen by use of battery and string 'tabs'. Then cell depictions show the cells in more detail for the string chosen by use of the tabs. 

Simple pop-up windows appear as the cursor is moved across different areas of the entry screen, giving more detail data on the battery. Right clicking almost anywhere in the window gives instant access to a wide range of features, hardware detail, and graphing function are context sensitive to the cursor position.

In addition, standard drop down menus at the top of the screen provide access to all of CELLWATCH's  facilities.
