Re: [WISPA] Remote generator monitoring?

[Matt Jenkins]

Automatic transfer switch into a site monitor into a RB750. RB750 has a l2tp connection back to the core router. This allows us to have small generators that can be put at any site and monitored easily. On 06/24/2011 02:34 PM, Forrest Christian wrote: Sorry about the semi-promotional email here.... The PacketFlux Sitemonitor is perfect for this... if you want to go the cheap route, buy the base unit hook up one power supply to the grid before the generator, and one after. The more expensive route (which is what I've done where I have a generac with relay outputs) is to buy the base unit and enough switch in expansion units to monitor all the contacts.  That way you not only get on gen warnings, but things like fuel low and gen fail.  See http://www.packetflux.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6  for a list of the modules. Feel free to ask any questions. -forrest (aka forre...@packetflux.com) On 6/24/2011 10:30 AM, Troy Settle wrote: How does one typically monitor remote locations to know when/if they’re running on generator?  I’d like to know when a generator exorcises and when it’s running due to a power outage.   The easiest solution I can think of, is to stick an old routerboard at the site to run from the generator only, then monitor it to know when we’re on genny power.  This seems a little klunky though.   Thanks,   --   Troy Settle, Network Administrator   The Wired Road Authority   1117 E.
