This example system shows a solar power system powering data
radios and Gateways, expanding the wireless network far beyond
the limits of wired power sources.
Item Model No. Description
1 BWA-SOLAR-001 FlexPower Solar Supply, includes panel, solar controller, rechargeable batteries, and
mounting materials
2 DX80DR*M-H MultiHop Data Radio, 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz
3 DX80N9X2S2N2M2 FlexPower Node, 900 MHz, Boost Power, 2 discrete IN, 2 NMOS discrete OUT, 2 analog IN
(2.4 GHz also available)
4 QT50U-75390 U-GAGE Long range ultra-sonic sensor, low power consumption
5 MQDC1-501.5 Cable, RS-485 quick disconnect, 5-pin Euro, straight, 0.5 m 3
6 DX80N... DX80 or DX80 Performance FlexPower Node or 10 to 30 V dc Node
7 CSRB-M1250M125.47M125.73 Cable, RS-485, quick disconnect, 5-pin Euro, male trunk, female branches
8 DX80G*M2S-P Performance FlexPower Gateway, Serial RS-485 Interface, No I/O
8.4 Battery Backup Feature
The FlexPower Solar Supply can be ORed with the DX81P6 Battery Supply Module using the CSRB-
M1253.28M1253.28M1253.28 splitter cable. When the solar panel temporarily disconnects the load because of a lack of
sunlight, the DX81P6 Battery Supply Module supports the system and powers the load. This battery backup can support a
sensor system consisting of a 2-wire transmitter powered continuously with 15 V at 20 mA and a DX80 Node transmitting
once per second for up to 30 days.
8.4.1 Parallel Solar Systems
Two or more solar systems can be directly ORed together using a splitter cable.
Using the Solar Supply in parallel provides a modular approach to incrementally increase the capacity in some challenging
applications or locations.
3 For RS-232 communications, an RS-232 crossover cable must be used between the RS-485 and the data radio or Gateway.
