Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux sitemonitor mixed power

As others have said, the base II only supports positive voltages. The voltmeter expansion is semi-isolated so it can measure either. The new base III will at least be able to measure negative voltages. In addition, it's likely that it will be able to be powered from them. Or more accurately,

The base has a common ground, so no you cannot do that as proposed. On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 10:50 AM Adam Moffett wrote: > Volt meter inputs are isolated. I don't recall if the base unit has one > or if you have to buy the volt meter module. > -Adam > > On 7/15/2019 1:47 PM, Jason McKemie wrote

Volt meter inputs are isolated.  I don't recall if the base unit has one or if you have to buy the volt meter module. -Adam On 7/15/2019 1:47 PM, Jason McKemie wrote: I suspected something like this, it would just be nice to be able to monitor both power sources. On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 12:46

Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux sitemonitor mixed power

I don't think any Packetflux stuff does -48v because they have negative tied to ground on the circuit board.  I think you'll get sparks if you do that. I think it would be a bad idea with any device.  You'd have to be sure that the inputs are strongly isolated from each other.  Don't cross the

Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux sitemonitor mixed power

You only need 24v going to site monitor. It just is the controller for the Sync Injector or the Power Injector You can have mixed voltages going to the Power/Sync injector - you just need to pin it out so that the port knows which power input to pass through from. Dave On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at
