RE: [Repeater-Builder] Micor repeater power supply

2005-04-27 Thread Mike Perryman

I guess that you could use a Xantrex C-35 charge controller connected to
supply out to charge (I use one on my solar setup) for "smart" charging...
then could use a second C-35 as a load controller  (they can be
configured for either function)...  and build up some sort of mains sensing
relay or something.

I have even seen folks use an Astron supply with a constant load across the
output to stabilize the current draw in conjunction with a C-35.  Then run
the machine on the batteries

I have 12 Dynasty 110ah gel cells in my solar bank, and they weren't cheap,
so I went the extra mile to protect them

Just a thought..  be creative!!

  I suppose it has been done ... not by me though.

  I have a few of the TPN1110A/B Power Supply here in two forms -
 one of them being the 12 volt only version.  You have to know what
 you are looking for to be able to know what the ancestry is.

  You might want to search the swapmeets for the Micor TPN1105A or
 TPN1106A Power Supply as it's designed for what you want.

  Hope this helps,

  Good. 

  Connect your 12 volt battery to the large terminals on the back 
 through a fuse.  Be certain to carefully adjust the voltage out 
 out of the power supply to keep from boiling away the battery 
 acid. 

  Hope this helps,

  If it is a TPN1105A, then the battery back-up is built in. 

  Connect your battery to the large terminal block on the back 
 through a 30 ampere fuse.  Be careful to set the output voltage 
 of the power supply so you don't boil the battery. 

  I have one of those power supplies in service here for a pair of 
 Micor Repeaters.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor repeater power supply

2005-04-25 Thread Maire Company

there is a power supply that Motorola made for the Micor  that will charge 
the battery (12V) and them run the repeater when needed.

The last I knew a new one from Motorola was about $400.  as I got one for a 
job and still in stock.  Also they may be got at a ham fest as I got a Micor 
(working) with the power supply for $600.00 at one time.

If you can't find one let me know and I will see how many I have.
