A short presentation outlining Merlin Equipments current capabilities

1. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management Military Battery Power Management & Monitoring (Aug 2010)

2. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation 2005 – 2007 Development of commercial Powerbank (Vehicle Battery Management System) ‘ VBMS’ – Military Vehicle Battery Management System Some History 2008 Secured first order for Powerbank in the UK for ‘Jackal’ prototypes. Begin development of ‘VBMS’ (Vehicle Battery Management System) a Militarised version of Powerbank

3. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation 2009 Orders secured to supply systems for production “Jackal 2” & “Coyote” vehicles for UK MoD use in Afghanistan Specification of VBMS on a large number of prototype vehicles & marine platforms Begin VBMS integration with Prime Contractors for GVA (Generic Vehicle Architecture) (UK MoD)

4. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation VBMS What Does It Do? The Main Benefits

5. The Future Of Electrical Power Management Makes the vehicle charging system ‘intelligent’ and ‘efficient’ It’s expensive and technically challenging these days keeping up with a modern military vehicle’s power requirement by continually fitting bigger alternators, APU’s and generators. If having purchased that power, you can’t deliver it intelligently to where it can be stored and where it’s needed and the charging source either backs off or dumps its output in heat - the investment is wasted. Most charging systems are not intelligent. With VBMS, they can be.

8. The Future Of Electrical Power Management VBMS / Tactical Computer Interface

10. The Future Of Electrical Power Management VBMS Primary Components VBMS ‘Hub’ Windows programmable device for intelligently controlling ‘Gateways’ via screened cables. Interfaces with remote panels / computer systems (via screened cables). VBMS ‘Software’ For programming the hub and for diagnostics

11. The Future Of Electrical Power Management VBMS ‘Gateways’ Physically parallel battery banks together for charging & separates them during discharge. Also physically controls battery isolation, flat battery protection & emergency battery parallel VBMS ‘Control & Monitoring Panels’ A range of different configurations are available for different vehicle types VBMS Primary Components

12. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation Other Key Military Products

13. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation DataCell (RS232 Battery Capacity Monitor)

15. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation Future DataCell Developments Later in 2010, another DataCell option will be available: DataCell 2 will include the following additional features: - ‘State of health’ for each battery bank (predicting battery failures) - ‘Net charge / discharge’ in Amps for each battery bank - ‘Time remaining’ for each battery bank (perfect for silent watch) - ‘Temperature’ for each battery bank

16. The Future Of Electrical Power Management The future of electrical power management The home of electrical innovation Communication With Wider Architectures Later in 2010, our Data Bridge option will also be available: Data Bridge will allow any VBMS, DataCell or combination of units to: - Communicate via CAN Bus J1939 - Via RS485 - Via NMEA 2000 Merlin products send out an RS232 or 422 data stream. Perfect for communicating directly with computers.
