The Model VCMS-APM Analog Power Module is a component of the InPower Vehicle Control Module System (VCMS), a modular, expandable, programmable switch panel system used for controlling vehicle 12 volt auxiliary devices. The system can be configured to fit a wide range of applications that require the driver to operate devices such as lights, beacons, fans, compressors, pumps, etc. The Analog Power Module contains four 12 volt DC power outputs, four digital signal inputs, an internal battery voltage sense, and one analog input for measuring DC current via InPower's DCS35 Series current sensor. Software instructions are available for the application program that allow logical control actions to be taken based on measured values of battery voltage or current.
The VCMS-APM also comes in a package as a Battery Amp-Hour Monitor System. It consists of a VCMS-APM Analog Power Module, a DCS 35 Series DC curent sensor and cable, and a special software algorithm. The system monitors battery voltage, and via the current sensor, the battery charging and discharging current. The software continuously monitors the battery and determines the state of charge (SOC) in percent.
