Additional Information you may find useful
1. CONTROLLER: The 12V controller turns off power to the load at
11V and reconnects when the battery reaches 12V. The 24V controller
turns off power at 22V and reconnects at 24V. This protects battery
from overdischarge and increases battery life and performance.
Controller LEDS:
POE = ON POE input detects current from POE source. If POE led is
flashing it means the power source is too weak for the POE input. Find
a power source with more capacity.
SOL = ON Solar input detects current from solar panel.
CHA = ON Batteries are being charged from solar input. If CHA is
flashing it means batteries are fully charged.
LOA = ON Battery voltage is sufficient and load outputs (POE OUT
and auxiliary wire terminal output) are turned on.
REV = ON Battery wires reversed.
Fuse:
The fuse is in line with battery power. If fuse is blown there was some
sort of short in the battery connection and the controller will appear
dead. Replace with 10A fuse.
2. CAPACITY: The RemotePro RPST is rated at either 15W, 20W,
30W or 50W continuous power output with 6 hours of peak sun per day.
3. VENTING: The enclosure is vented thru the wire feedthrus and vari-
ous hole plugs in the bottom of the enclosure. Don’t make these airtight
or seal with silicon.
4. CHARGING BATTERIES FROM AC POWER: The Controller used
in this system has a POE input which can be used for charging the bat-
teries from a 110/220VAC power source like a backup generator. If the
site has access to AC power, even temporarily, you can use a 24V
power supply with more than 2.5A of current capacity (for 12V battery
system) or 36-48V power supply with
2.5A of current capacity (for the 24V
battery system) and using a POE in-
serter cable like our POE-INJ-S to in-
sert the power to the controller over
Ethernet cable.
5. BATTERY MAINTENANCE: The batteries used in the Remote Pro
systems don’t require any maintenance. They should last up to 5 years
