TPDIN-Monitor-WEB Remote System Monitor and Control

The PowerSens™ Web Based Remote Monitor and Control System is a versatile tool which enables the equipment designer and installer to remotely monitor his equipment and site. The unit can be accessed via the network (web and SNMP) to remotely monitor up to 4 voltages, 4 currents, 2 temperatures and control power to various equipment using 4 on-board relays. The system has built-in surge protection to prevent damage from electrical surges.
On board data-logging and graphing capabilities allow the user to see history of the various parameters being measured. The graphical interface allows the user to control relays via a single mouse click and monitor all the measurement parameters real-time via any web browser. The web interface allows access and control via desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
The system allows control of 2 of the relays directly via the temperature sensors. The user can set temperature limits and automatically turn on the relays when the measured temperature exceeds the set temperature. This feature can be used to control fans, heaters or other equipment which needs to be powered on/off based on a particular interior or exterior temperature. The other 2 relays can be controlled by a ping watchdog timer or a time control. The Ping Watchdog is useful to power cycle a device if the device stops responding to pings. The time control function is useful for controlling things such as lights that have a time dependent function. The unit has 4 programmable email alerts that can be sent if a parameter is outside a predetermined range.
The relays have a special one-click cycle feature with programmable cycle times which can be used to turn a device off and then back on after the predetermined time with a single button click. This is useful for rebooting a device like a POE Switch by power cycling it, thereby rebooting all devices attached to the switch. The relays are normally closed type so they don’t use any power in their normal operating mode.
Two of the current ports provide bi-directional current (+/-), showing direction of current flow. This is useful for monitoring batteries so you can see when the battery is charging and when it is discharging. Connections are via removable wire terminal connectors. This allows for easy troubleshooting and maintenance because the unit can be removed from the system without disturbing the system wiring.
User defined labels for each parameter makes sure that when viewing the web interface or graphs that users can quickly identify the parameter they are concerned about. A real time clock based on PC time or Internet time ensures that data logging is accurate.
Each parameter has programmable +/- offsets to be able to perform field calibration to compensate for things such as line loss or variations in measuring equipment. This provides unsurpassed flexibility as each device can be tailored by customer to her specific needs.
A free discovery tool is available via download to assist in finding the Tycon TPDIN-Monitor-WEB units on the network. It works across different subnets. This is helpful if a user forgets the IP address of the unit or has the unit configured for DHCP client and he is unsure what IP address the unit is operating on. -40C to +75C Operation

BATTMETER Quick View System Monitor

The TP-BATTMETER-24 is a simple very low cost meter system used for quickly assessing the battery charge status and charge rate on any 12V or 24V battery system. With just a glance a technician can determine if the battery is charging or discharging and the state of the batteries charge by observing the battery voltage. On solar systems he can see if the solar panels are charging the batteries and how fast based on the current reading. On wind powered systems she can see if the wind turbine is outputting sufficient power to charge the batteries. On vehicular applications, recreational vehicle applications and cabin applications the owner can quickly monitor the state of his auxiliary battery charge and how fast the battery is charging or discharging. This type of information is imperative to maintain a healthy battery system and extend the life of the batteries.

Because of its analog meter design there is virtually no extra power required to run the BATTMETER so it will not drain precious battery resources like some digital meters. The rugged metal enclosure comes with DIN Rail mounts for a particularly clean and easy install using DIN Rail mounting. The enclosure can also be wall mounted. (Spec Sheet) | (User Guide)

300W Smart Battery Chargers

The TP-BC series of smart battery chargers provide up to 300W of total power. Part of the power is allocated to the regulated load output and remaining power is allocated to battery charging. The smart battery charger is compatible with GEL/AGM type sealed lead acid batteries and also WET type lead acid batteries (like car batteries).

The load output is regulated so that output voltage does not exceed 12.5VDC on the 12V model and 24.5VDC on the 24V model and 48.5VDC on the 48V model. Also the load output will turn off when the battery voltage is low to prevent over discharge of the batteries which can shorten the useable life of the batteries. Load output will turn back on automatically when batteries have sufficient charge. The TP-BC series provides seamless switchover from AC power to battery power so there is no interruption which could reset a user’s electronics. The charger auto-recovers from a power failure so no user action is necessary.

The charger has various protections for short circuit, overvoltage protection, overcurrent and reverse battery. It operates over a wide temperature range making it suitable for industrial applications.

Note: The battery charger will not work without a battery connected.

A solar panel and solar charge controller or wind turbine can be added to the system if supplemental power from solar or wind is desired.

There are various LEDS on the front panel to see status-at-a-glance of the Load Output, Charging Condition and AC Power Condition.
