I currently have 10 radios on top of the elevator and it is a major distribution point for the North and East legs of our network. Since you already have ups's in place, your problem sounds like simply that you didn't choose to use a model with battery packs. APC has models such as the 1400XL (or, for better effeciency, the 700XL if you won't be pulling lots and lots of juice) which will accept a daisy-chain of external battery packs, increasing the runtime considerably per each that you connect (up to some technical limit, but for your application I would think a full 24hrs and beyond would be within easy grasp, espically considering the reletively low power consumption of the gear you want to power). Better still, APC has cheap remote snmp mgmt cards for their units so you can a) know when the power is out, b) how long you have, and c) what the charge of the batteries are, so you can stay on top of it in case the outages go beyond what you had planned for.

Re: [WISPA] DC power suggestions
Mac, I pulled some notes from a thread on the StarOS forums, you might want to go read the whole thing if this sounds interesting: === (gleaned from "Solar Power" thread on StarOS forum started 6/18/2006 by Ick) Should power at least 8 WAR2. Iota DLS-15 12v 15A battery charger (larger available) $116 http://store.solar-electric.com/ioen12vo15am.html optional Iota IQ4 plugin smart charger $29 (not so important since there will be a continuous load on the battery) PowerStream 12v to 24v converter PST-DU700-24 $140 retail price http://www.powerstream.com/ == I was just thinking about powering a few radios, still trying to decide between a 24V battery or 12V plus the extra converter. The Iota plugs into AC and keeps the battery charged. Oh, could you post some pictures of your tower on top of the grain elevator sometime? Especially the base of the tower, just curious on the specifics. (do the guys go all the way to the ground?) -John PS - I thought we grew a lot of corn in Michigan, but I see that Iowa does 8X as much. I think we have 15 ethanol plants built or in the permit process, I hear those will consume the entire state's corn crop.

Re: [WISPA] DC power suggestions
From the National Corn Growers Association: About 8 percent of the weight in a box of corn flakes is corn. Less than 5 percent of the purchase price reflects the corn price. The remainder of the cost is in packaging and advertising. From the Ohio Corn Growers: Corn growers in Ohio rallied recently to get the word out on the true cost impact of rising corn prices. In this media report, there were a number of startling facts concerning the true impact on food costs. "Only 3 cents of corn goes into a box of cereal," "But the cost of a box of corn flakes is so high because of marketing and transportation costs. Same with a bag of corn chips." Corn prices are up about 33 percent from where they were a year ago, but the impact of that price rise is a much smaller part of food cost increases than is being reported "Plain and simple, corn prices are not the sole reason, or even the major reason for higher prices in the grocery aisle today," "Corn is part of a portion of food products," ... "And it is only a small part of those foods where it is included. A large portion of food price increases come from foods that don't contain corn including fish, fruits and vegetables." - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Mac Dearman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 11:08 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] DC power suggestions Go to www.raleybros.com (about 10 miles from my home) when the home page comes up just keep refreshing your browser to change the pics displayed.

Re: [WISPA] DC power suggestions
I haven't tried them yet, but a neighbor that does lots of SCADA work likes the MeanWell AD-15xx series power supplies, battery chargers.

Re: [WISPA] DC power suggestions
Wow, you learn something every day. What I've learned today is that down south harvests corn significantly earlier than we do in the corn belt. ;-) What I've wanted to do, but have been so far unable to do is to have a power source (be it a 120 vAC charger, solar cells, wind turbine, etc.) charge an array of batteries (the guys at Mr. Solar said that I should use 48 vDC for the DC systems), and then have a bunch of power supplies that use 48 vDC as the source.I have a PC based MT for my AP and an Orthogon Gemini on my primary tower. I can source 48 vDC power supplies for both. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Mac Dearman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 9:50 AM Subject: RE: [WISPA] DC power suggestions I have an 80' Rohn 25G tower on top of a 110' concrete grain elevator.
