That looks to meet alot of our need, though the 48 volt

SAF recommended Eltek minipack system, i havent priced that

This is what most of our sites have (theres some depreciating ubnt sectors too)
4x EPMP access point/Paketflux injector/Meanwell DR-120-48
4x AP320/Packetflux injector/Meanwell DR-120-24
Sitemonitor/cambium wallwort
1-2 backhauls (unlic: epmp, ptp500, UBNT rocket) (lic: SAF or Mimosa)
RB1100AHX2 (AC power)
HP 1810 24g switch (AC power)

APC 750xl or 1000xl w/management card




This is probably one of our more heavily populated sites

4x ap320/packetflux/meanwell 48v
4x fsk/packetflux/meanwell 24v
4x EPMP/packetflux/ meanwell 48v
2x UBNT Nanobridge private APs/ubnt PS
2x SAF Lumina/ SAF PS (will be 1x lumina and 2x Integra soon)
3x UBNT rocket M5/UBNT PS
1x EPMP force 200/EPMP PS
1x PTP 650/Cambium PS
1x sitemonitor/cambium 29v PS
1x RB1100AHX2/AC power
1x HP 1810g 24/AC power

APC 1500XL + 2 External packs and management card


the AC fans run on the utility side because I dont have the battery budget


Cabling is a shitshow with all the AC powercords and branded power supplies too.

I assume the APC UPS runtime is wasted with all the power supplies.

Scalability is a factor as well, so far we havent justified 450m but may soon 
and we will roll some LTE in the near term which will add substantial demand

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.

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 version is $600.

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.
