Here is what we are doing, I think this is close to what
Steve is asking for:
Meanwell SDR-240-24 AC to DC power source: $84
Meanwell DR-UPS40 Battery Float/UPS: $37
Tycon TPDIN MonitorWeb2: $131
24 V of battery backup $70-120 depending on the runtime
looking for
Netonix 150 W or 250 DC switch: $250-350 (This is really
the only expensive component)
Heater: $65
Fan: $14
With this, we can run 5-8 hours on very small batteries, we
figure we have several hours to get a generator to the site
if power isn’t coming back. We run all POE from the
Netonix, it works really well. Here are the other things we
can do with the box:
1. Monitor temp in the cabinet
2. Monitor/alert on loss of AC line power through TP DIN
3. Monitor voltage of the batteries
4. Monitor voltage to the Netonix
5. Monitor Current to the Netonix
6. Monitor Current in/out of the batteries
7. Auto start the heater below 40 degrees
8. Auto start the fan above 80 degrees
9. Power cycle the netonix from the TP DIN
10. Power cycle any AP, Router, Backhaul from the Netonix
We also put a Mikrotik router in this cabinet. Usually a Hex
POE (for small sites) or a 3011 for larger sites.
We have 13 in the field set up like this and are going 15
more right now. While it might be a little more than what
you were thinking, it gives us a ton of control for pretty
minimal investment per site.
Best part is, no coding necessary. Doing all this with the
Monitor Web2 settings and/or SNMP. Let me know if you are
interested in pictures. For this second batch we have
started using Terminal blocks to clean up the wiring, the
cabinets look a little better, but we went to a smaller poly
cabinet that makes things a little tight.

David Coudron

You can still do DC-DC off it and then hook up netonix. If I
had to do it now I'd go with the IDC switch. When we did our
design, the idc didn't exist so we just went down to 24V off
of our A and B sides and run a redundant powered 24V bus
which all the netonix switches run on.
I better buy up another batch of Elteks before all y'all buy
them all up. These are mostly decommissioned Sprint/Clearwire
btw.

A 12 port version would be nice. Looks like the 26 port

Which Netonix are you running at - 48V? Or are you
using an isolated DC/DC converter in between the -48V
rectifier and Netonix?

*Subject: *[AFMUG] Dc plant conversion
Any of you folks who know both dc plant and even
more know small wisp budget interested in looking
at our gear and power setup and giving realistic
advice that doesnt have a 10 different 500 dollar
components combined with a full time linux guy
and a full time coder?
Id love you to do it out of the kindness of your
heart, but i do have some advisory busget.
Im just tired of the apc ups waste and super
ghetto runtimes on batteries coupled with having
to accept we are destroying runtimes by letting
the apcs die..... please, somebody, please.
Otherwise i have to go to the facebook groups,
and thats like going to a mikrotik or ubnt forum.
