Wireless Network Range Extension
For extending the range of the wireless network, the solar panel and rechargeable battery pack powers
data radios and special FlexPower Gateways.
In the system shown, the solar panel system powers a remotely located data radio and Gateway.
FlexPower Nodes make up the remainder of the wireless network. To extend this wireless network even
farther from the host system, a solar panel powered data radio repeater can be used.
Data Radio
Autonomous Process Monitoring with
Continuous Sensor Operation
A single FlexPower Solar Supply can supply any continuously powered
4–20 mA, two-wire transmitter at 13V and power the DX80 FlexPower Node
for continuous sensor operation.
This application requires at least 1.7 hours of sun per day and the battery
provides about 10 days of autonomy with a full transmitter signal of 20
mA. Marginal solar situations can be supplemented with a DX81P6 Battery
Supply Module acting as a battery backup unit to add an additional month of
autonomous operation.
The FlexPower Node’s boost converter provides an adjustable continuous
21V courtesy power output.
