Glad we helped. The good thing about the AD-155C is that it's super cheap. The bad thing is that it's not DIN rail mountable directly and you need a string of 4 12V batteries. This is why I like the SDR+BCMU360 option for small sites; it is more expensive, but it takes up less space because it's DIN rail mountable and only needs a single battery. It also can support ~220W safely.
