    the power supply switch portion switches the power supply state of the monitor from the low power consumption state to the monitoring state every time the wakeup timer outputs the actuation signal, the monitor further comprising;

    a control unit configured to;

    control the measurement unit to detect the state of the electric storage device and obtain the detected value when the power supply state of the monitor is set in the monitoring state by the power supply switch portion;

    compare the detected value and a reference value; and
