Curtis Instruments' gauges include intelligent technology which warns of predetermined low voltage .

Curtis Instruments advises customers on the best ways of monitoring and maintaining batteries, things often overlooked in the busy working day As Managing Director Barry Langsford points out "By constantly taking the time and initiative to check voltage under load,operators of industrial electrical equipment will gain in key areas"

"Firstly there is the assured, uninterrupted productivity by ensuring optimum operating power is in place".

"Then there is the benefit of extended battery life by avoiding deep discharging, a common mistake that naturally affects life cycle".

"Maintenance cost reductions are a huge benefit; low voltages and heavily discharged batteries result in overheated windings, premature contactor wear or failure, and damage to control circuitry".

"And finally, a key aspect in the modern world, we have lower energy costs and usage".

"A simple exercise of charging batteries at 80% depth of discharge and keeping to disciplined, staggered schedules is more cost-effective and beneficial for the environment than charging all batteries together at the end of a shift and straining the power demands".

"Thoughtful companies will see the intial outlay on Curtis equipment as a real investment with quick, measurable return rather than extravagant outlay".

For the technical record, Curtis manufactures a wide range of dedicated and guaranteed products for light or heavy duty usage.

A choice of gauges include intelligent technology which warns of predetermined low voltage - even after having been disconnected - and LED displays clearly indicate the state of charge.

The Curtis range of motive power battery chargers are compact and robust yet deliver high efficiency, meeting all EU quality and safety standards.

Simple to install and operate, these systems help to fulfill crucial health and safety criteria - a built in safeguard against the multiple legal and financial impact of industrial accidents.
