SAM is designed for remote operation and central reporting while it will also assist technicians on site by reducing the amount of time they have to spend on commissioning, maintenance and fault diagnosis.
SAM was also designed to be flexible and future-proof by being able to be configured to address the varying requirements of most BTS sites. As such, some of the systems capabilities include:
System Capabilities:
Environmental
- Intelligent monitoring and regulation of cabin temperature and humidity.
- Intelligent monitoring and control of air conditioning system.
- Intelligent free-cooling ventilation system.
- Air conditioning socket continuity testing - detects unplugged leads.
Power
- Generator monitoring and control.
- Generator bulk fuel tank capacity monitoring.
- Utility Pre-paid credit token management.
- Utility Post-paid power consumption management.
- Battery bank supply voltage monitoring, both 24Vdc or 48Vdc.
- Battery bank temperature monitoring.
- Battery charge and discharge current monitoring.
- Monitoring of utility or generator Mains, Phase and Frequency supply input.
- Intelligent generator and air conditioner control through EPCC mode (energy power
conservation control).
BTS Infrastructure
- An adjustable current monitor is used to detect Aircraft warning light failure (threshold
could be set to detect even a single globe failure).
- Operation with Inala System’s B-MON bay level auto calibrator and VSWR monitor
for 900 MHz and 1800 MHz GSM systems.
- Multiple analogue and digital alarm input and control functions.
General
- Password protection on all applications - Alarm and Environmental Controller.
- RS232 serial interface for onsite control and configuration.
- On-site or remote upgrading of SAM firmware depending on the management option.
- On-line alarm FIFO alarm log
- Technician diagnostic terminal for onsite configuration and commissioning
- Events are automatically forwarded to the management platform from each site
depending on the management option chosen.

- Ability to remotely reset the generator AMF panel, during fault condition
- All activity (alarms, events, analogue values) are entered into a database for post
analysis and statistical reporting
o Ability to enter additional information manually to the database:
- Invoiced fuel amounts per site (statistical comparison to system measured values)
- Technician call-out incidents
- Maintenance activities and inventory control
- Graphical user interface automatically updated upon receipt of event
- Geographical map overlay of monitored region
- Various automated or customized reports based upon database information:
- Alarms per site, date, time, set or clear
- Alarms critical versus alarms non critical, per site, region, date, time
