[ANSS-netops] PASSCAL Developed Power Management Module (Charge Conroller and Power Switcher)

[Mark E. Meremonte]

Hi Kyle,

Greg Steiner has built about 25 flexible power supply boxes for me 
that provide 12 VDC with AC charger, external 12V battery connection, 
max of 2 120W solar panels, essential load (DAS primarily), 
non-essential load (cell modem, Freewave, VSAT or other comm), solar 
regulator.  Solar panels and AC charger and solar can be connected 
simultaneously if opportunity exists.   It is packaged in a small box 
as well; not sure of size though.  Greg, if he sees this email, he 
can reply/elaborate better.   I think a number of regional networks 
are using them.

They are incredibly flexible.

Regards,
Mark
