Technische Beschreibung

The PS200 power supply consists of a rechargeable, 7 A h, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery and a charging regulator. This microcontroller-based smart charger has two-step constant voltage charging and temperature compensation that optimize battery charging and increase the battery’s life.

Two input terminals enable simultaneous connection of two charging sources. The PS200 also incorporates a maximum power point tracking algorithm for solar inputs that maximize available solar charging resources. RS-232 and SDI-12 terminals allow the PS200 to convey charging parameters to a datalogger.

The PS200 has several safety features intended to protect the charging source, battery, charger, and load devices. Both the SOLAR – G and CHARGE – CHARGE input terminals incorporate hardware current limits and polarity-reversal protection.

A fail-safe, self-resettable thermal fuse protects the CHARGE – CHARGE inputs in the event of a catastrophic AC/AC or AC/DC charging source failure. Another self-resettable thermal fuse protects the 12 V output terminals of the charger in the event of an output load fault.

The PS200 also has battery-reversal protection, and includes ESD and surge protection on all of its inputs and outputs.

  1. How can the age and condition of a sealed rechargeable battery be determined?

    Look for a stamp on top of the battery. The stamp should be in a date format of YYMMDDXX where:

    • YY is the year.
    • MM is the month.
    • DD is the day.
    • XX is the manufacturing plant.

    This indicates the age of the battery.

    To evaluate the condition of the battery:

    1. Charge the battery.
    2. Let the battery sit for a couple of hours.
    3. Measure the open circuit voltage to get an estimated indication of condition.
  2. If a CH200 or PS200 is hooked up to both solar and ac power supplies, which power supply does the device use?

    The CH200 or PS200 will pull power only from the source with the highest voltage at that moment. For example, the regulator will take the 20 W input from the 24 Vdc wall transformer rather than from the 18 V 50 W solar panel—even during the day. If the power goes out, the 50 W solar panel will charge during the day with no charging at night.

  3. If a spare PS100 or PS200 is sitting on a shelf, should it be periodically charged?

    Battery manufacturers recommend that their batteries be charged at least once every 3 to 6 months. If an extra wall charger is available, such as a 29796, Campbell Scientific recommends keeping it continually connected to ac power.

  4. Will the PS100 or PS200 work as a battery backup for the CR1000?

    Yes. A properly designed system with a PS100 or PS200 can keep a CR1000 working continuously during a short power failure. Campbell Scientific recommends, however, conducting a load analysis to determine what duration of power outage can be endured.

  5. What are the major differences between a PS100 and a PS200?

    The PS100 is a float-only charger that is limited to a 20 W solar panel and a maximum load of approximately 1 A.  

    The more advanced (and more expensive) PS200 is a multistage controller that can charge at higher rates and use larger solar panels (90 W) while delivering a maximum of approximately 4 A to the load, depending on the temperature. The PS200 is a smart charger that incorporates MPPT (maximum power point tracking) technology and can be interrogated by the datalogger to check its state, solar panel status, load currents, battery voltage, and net battery current. In this regard, the PS200 acts as a high-tech sensor, as well as a charge regulator.

    The PS100 has a temperature sensor for temperature compensation. The PS200 has a similar onboard temperature sensor, but it is more efficient and does not dissipate as much heat with a similar load. The PS200 also has a feature where an independent battery temperature measurement can be sent to the charger rather than using its onboard temperature sensor.
