The RPS-1
is a self contained battery power source for use in conjunction
with the HyperLogger,
ModuLogger and ModuLogger
Mini,and other data loggers, field RTU's and field data
acquisition equipment to power transducers requiring external
power (e.g., strain gauges, pressure transducers, 4-20mA
transmitters, etc.) over a voltage range of 3.5 - 22 VDC.
The RPS-1 contains two user configurable,
rechargeable gel-cell type batteries and integral recharging
cicuitry. The charging circuitry will accept AC or DC current
from photovoltaic arrays, wind generators, utility sourced
transformers, or other current sources. The sealed batteries
are capable of operating in any orientation over a temperature
range of -10 to 60C. The slide switch allows the user to
configure the RPS-1with the two integral 12Vdc batteries
wired in parallel (for 12Vdc maximum output voltage) or
in series (for 24Vdc maximum output voltages).
Two user programmable power supply
outputs are available which can source seven different regulated
voltage levels from 3.5 to 22 VDC. Outputs are short circuit/over-current
protected. The two power supplies can be independently programmed
for output voltage as well as type of operational mode.
Two modes are available: Continuous On or Automatic
Operation. In Automatic Operation, the power supply
is under control of an optically isolated low voltage (5VDC,
0.5mA) control input signal;. This control input interfaces
directly to the Bitlogger RPS-1 control output line or one
of the HyperLogger or ModuLogger built in digital
outputs which in turn cycles the RPS's power supplies on
and off, providing transducer excitation under the loggers
control during a logging session. This automatic power supply
cycling technique maximizes RPS-1 battery life.
Additionally, the RPS-1 can be used
as a general purpose regulated power source for many other
types of equipment (alarm systems, control systems, etc.)
requiring field power in a remote environment.
Logic Beach also offers the PSM-2
Power Supply Module family for powering sensors and
transmitter loops. The PSM-2 is a smaller system that provides
field programmable voltages (up to 24Vdc) from the data
logger batteries. Refer to details on it's associated page.
