Re: [smartBridges] BAD LUCK WED

Your best bet financially, is to just set up a battery backup, using high-capacity lead acid cells, charged from the AC that normally runs your site.   You'll need a LOT of  capacity, both solar and battery, to run all the equipment you just listed...   You'll need to figure out what they all consume before you can go on...       NEOFAST.NET North East Oregon FAST Net mark(at)neofast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Blazen Wireless To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 5:39 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] BAD LUCK WED Now looking into solar does anyone have any experience doing solar sites?   2-3 APPO's 1 5.7ghz radio 1 router 2 500mw Amps (if needed but doubtful)   and possible a little reserve left over for future upgrades if needed..   This is what a competitor is doing and it makes sense for situations like this where we lose power to the property I want to be totally self sufficient.   Does any of this stuff look familiar like the charge controller etc I know there appears to br an AP-2000 and a linksys router in there and batteries I am just trying to get some prices.. http://www.blazenwireless.com/solar Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: Marlon Schafer (509-982-2181) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 4:22 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] BAD LUCK WED Yuck and Yuck!!!!   Marlon (509) 982-2181 (408) 907-6910 (Vonage) 42846865 (icq) 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam     ----- Original Message ----- From: Blazen Wireless To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 3:50 PM Subject: [smartBridges] BAD LUCK WED Damn if we have not had bad luck today   1. Eletrocomm shipped us the wrong radios heheheh 2. Got home smelled a strange smell ( no one pulled my finger) you know that familiar burning acid smell well my APC 1000 took a crap and the batteries ballooned up in the unit!!! I now have no backup I wonder what could have caused it??? possibly over charging due to bad power supply??   3. Now my whole main tower is down 2 APPO's 1 Motorola BH and a switch sounds like power to me, there appears to be a fire in the area but not sure if it knocked out power to our tower location.   Oyy veyyy!     Martin & Steve Blazen Wireless www.blazenwireless.com   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
