Page 11: Introduction
PS150/CH150 12V Charging Regulators Introduction The PS150 is a 12 VDC power supply that includes a rechargeable 7 Ah valve- regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery and charging regulator. The CH150 is a charging regulator for an external rechargeable 12 V VRLA battery such as the BP12 or BP24 offered by Campbell Scientific. -
Page 12: Precautions And Tips
VRLA batteries are capable of providing high surge currents. The 12 V output terminals of the PS150/CH150 are fused with a 4 A self-resettable thermal fuse, but there is no fusing for inadvertent bridging of the battery terminals. Accidental shorting of battery terminals by metallic objects, such as watchbands, can cause severe burns due to rapid heating and is also a fire hazard. -
Page 13: Quick Start
The PS150/CH150 modules are designed to handle extreme conditions. The modules have been designed with mounting holes on one inch centres for mounting to a standard Campbell Scientific enclosure back plate — see the enclosure manual for mounting suggestions. See Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-3 for typical enclosure installations using a PS150/CH150. -

BP24 EnerSys/Genesis/YUASA Discharge: –20 to +60 * Battery specifications shown are from the manufacturer. The PS150/CH150 contains charging algorithms that optimize battery charging over the range of –40°C to +50°C. Battery usage outside of manufacturer specifications could have unknown effects on the life of the battery. -
Page 21: Operational Overview
3.6 Adc. CHARGE/CHARGE terminal blocks have no polarity. Power wires from the charging source can be connected in any fashion. The PS150/CH150 will only float charge a battery with power connected to the CHARGE/CHARGE terminal blocks which is fine when using an AC/DC charging source. -

SOLAR and the return or negative connected to G, with reversal protection included. The SOLAR – G input terminals have an input current limit of approximately 3.6 amps, making the PS150/CH150 well suited for 70 watt or smaller solar panels. The PS150/CH150 can be simultaneously powered from both the CHARGE –... -
Page 23: Charging Details
Continuous charging input has a maximum value of 1.1 A DC to help protect AC/AC transformers and AC/DC converters. The 3.6 ADC typical current limit of the PS150/CH150 Solar charging input is well suited for 70 W solar panels. Typical Continuous charging inputs would be AC/AC transformers or AC/DC converters in which a charge voltage is continuously applied except for line power outages. -
