Appendix C. PS24 24 Ah power
supply with 10 x 12 inch
enclosure
The PS24 Power Supply is typically used when a solar-powered T107 transmits data using a
spread spectrum radio. However, the PS24 can be used for any situation where a larger capacity
battery is desirable.
C.1 PS24 components
The PS24 consists of a 24 Ah rechargeable battery in a 25 x 30 cm (10 x 12 in) environmental
enclosure (
(p. 84) through
(p. 85)). Typically, the PS24 is ordered without
a charging regulator and the PS100 or PS150 is moved from the station enclosure to the PS24
enclosure to serve as the charging regulator.
The battery should be recharged using AC power or solar power. An SP10 10-W solar panel, SP20
20-W solar panel, or wall charger is typically used to recharge the battery. The environmental
enclosure is mounted to the T107 pole using the mounting kit with hanger.
