Solar Panels and Controllers

Models 6904I, 6912D-12 & 6912CR-12

  • Overview

    The solar-powered system enables the long-term use of 12V sealed lead-acid batteries in the field without the need for recharging from the mains. The entire system is designed to be maintenance free once installed.
    The solar-powered system consists of solar panel 6904 range, sealed lead acid battery 6907B range and 12V 10A solar controller model 6912.
    This configuration may be used for externally powering all data loggers, Starflow and conductivity instruments.
    In an installation with a prolonged period (more than 10 consecutive days) without sunlight, we recommend the using 10W model 6904I-10 solar panel with two 14Ah sealed lead acid batteries 6907B-14 (28Ah). This system will also operate a cellular phone site for up to 5 “sunless” days.

    Solar power & relay controller dual relay output Model 6912CR-12 regulates the charging of a 12 volt sealed lead acid battery via a solar panel and provides a supervised 12V modem power output. In addition to this, controller has two 2A relays with capacity to operate either solenoid or small pump. Any Unidata logger can interface with the controller allowing program control of the two relay outputs.
