Solar-Powered Field System with Radio

The illustration below shows a solar-powered system (see “Solar-Powered
Field System” on page 20) in which the W
eatherLink commands and data are
communicated via a user-supplied radio. The 1200- or 2400-baud WeatherLink
is compatible with any transparent communications channel. Because the solar
panel and battery of the Solar Power Kit are not sufficient to supply the radio
for continuous operation, the Alarm Output Module is used to switch on
power to the transmitter for short scheduled periods.
