Why Battery Backup for Actuators Matters

In many automated valve systems, a power loss can lead to:

Loss of remote valve control

Process instability

Inability to safely isolate equipment

Increased operational risk

Key Benefits

Continuous Actuator Availability

Ensures electric actuators remain operational during power outages, protecting critical processes.

Intelligent Battery Monitoring

Integrated Battery Management System (BMS) continuously monitors battery health and charge status.

Flexible Runtime Configuration

Battery capacity can be tailored to match site-specific outage scenarios and resilience requirements.

Low Maintenance Operation

Automated diagnostics eliminate manual battery checks and reduce maintenance workload.

Proven Battery Technology

AUMA systems utilise sealed lead-acid batteries, selected for their durability and predictable performance in industrial environments.

Benefits include:

Excellent cost-to-performance ratio

Five-year service life with replaceable batteries

High tolerance to temperature and environmental variation

Simplified recycling and sustainable lifecycle management

Intelligent Diagnostics and Monitoring

Each system includes a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) that protects battery performance and extends service life.

Key features include:

Automatic 24-hour self-diagnostic test

Continuous charge monitoring

Overcharge protection

Early warning alerts for battery degradation

Configurable Runtime for Power Outages

Battery units are designed with oversized capacity, enabling support for both short power interruptions and extended outages.

Systems are housed within durable Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) or steel enclosures to ensure long-term protection in demanding environments.

Advantages:

Configurable power autonomy

Protection against unpredictable outages

Scalable capacity for future expansion

Easy Installation and Integration

AUMA battery backup systems are designed for fast integration with existing actuator installations.

Features include:

Plug-and-play connectivity

Clear user interface

Simple retrofit compatibility

Commissioning by site technicians or AUMA engineers

Safety and Sustainability

Safety is a core design principle across all AUMA systems.

Using sealed lead-acid battery chemistry avoids the thermal runaway risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. The integrated BMS further protects the system by regulating charge levels and preventing overheating.

Environmental benefits include:

Fully recyclable battery systems

Long service life

Support for circular economy strategies

Warranty and Long-Term Support

AUMA battery backup systems are supplied with:

12-month panel warranty
Five-year battery guarantee

These systems are backed by the engineering expertise of AUMA Riester GmbH & Co. KG and supported by local UK technical service and lifecycle support.
