SPS. Operational Roles To ensure the safe operation of the Solar Power Supply and compatible devices from Industrial Scientific, this manual recognizes the following roles related to operating the equipment. SPS operators include onsite personnel or users of the SPS who can operate, relocate, and partially disassemble the SPS for relocation or storage. -
Page 9: Product Information
Hardware Overview Overview The Solar Power Supply (SPS) is a stand-alone power supply that uses solar input to generate power for the operation of compatible Industrial Scientific products. The SPS can operate in specific hazardous- classified areas for which it is certified, supports applications such as fence lines, pipelines, and tank farms, and can be used in locations where electrical power sources are limited or nonexistent. -
Page 10: Portability
Portability The modular design of the Solar Power Supply (SPS) enables its rapid disassembly for repositioning, storage, or redeployment in another location. Once the SPS is unpacked and assembled, operators can reposition or move the unit a short distance, as needed. The solar panel can be reoriented (360° rotation) to improve solar exposure. -
Page 11: Specifications
For corresponding input parameters, see the product manual for each compatible Industrial Scientific product. When added together, the Li and Ci entity parameters of the Industrial Scientific Solar Power Supply plus the total from the IS Cable must not exceed the power supply entity parameters for L0 and Co. Refer to control drawing 17159827-350 referenced in Figure 2.6. -

Page 19: Deployment
The Solar Power Supply (SPS) is designed for ease of setup including unpacking, assembly, deployment, and the mounting of compatible Industrial Scientific products. Set up should be completed by a member of the safety team, all other deployment steps can be completed by an operator. -
Page 20: Unpack
Unpack The Solar Power Supply (SPS) is shipped partially assembled in two corrugated cardboard boxes strapped to a 1.22 m x 1.07 m (48 ″ x 42 ″) fiber pallet. The total height of the assembled pallet and boxes is 0.84 m (33 ″). -
Page 21: Battery Installation
Note: When properly secured, you can still push down on the door slightly. Assembly The Solar Power Supply (SPS) is designed for easy assembly. Equipment operators should follow the instructions in Figure 3.2 to assemble and deploy the SPS. All steps below can be safely performed in a hazardous-classified area. - Page 22 Figure 3.2 Assembling the SPS Setting up the stand Open the box marked “Legs”: • Turn this box on its side, it consists of two boxes that nest together. • Using a utility knife, carefully cut the packaging tape that secures the two sections of this box on all four sides of the box.
- Page 23 Snap closed the minilock around the cable port on the back of the insert enclosure to secure it. Notes on mounting supported Industrial Scientific products on the SPS: • The steps below that you must follow will vary based on whether you are connecting a Radius BZ1 , RGX Gateway, or both.

Page 24: Operation
Note: See the RGX Gateway Product Manual for more information about the magnetic mounts, including important safety warnings. Operation The Solar Power Supply (SPS) can be operated in nonhazardous areas or in classified hazardous locations as specified in Table 1.1 Solar Power Supply hazardous location certification. - Page 25 When used with the Radius BZ1, the following apply. • Periodically check the instrument display screen for the presence of the power-supply symbol ( ). • The instrument's low-battery indicator ( ) will display when it has between two and five hours of remaining operating time.

Page 27: Redeploy And Storage
Service Warranty Overview The Solar Power Supply (SPS) is designed for ease of setup, disassembly, and storage. The SPS can also be easily relocated a short distance when deployed or disassembled for relocation to another site or for storage purposes. -
Page 28: Disassembly
• Replace and reorient the solar assembly and reconnect the IS or solar panel cables. Disassembly The Solar Power Supply (SPS) is designed to be easily disassembled. All the steps below can be safely performed by an operator in a hazardous-classified area. Operators should NEVER open the enclosure. - Page 29 Unmounting an RGX Gateway Attached with the magnetic mounts, the RGX should slide right off. Set the RGX aside. Note: Skip these steps if not supporting an RGX Gateway with the SPS. Unmounting a Radius BZ1 Unscrew the knobs to loosen the clamps on the Radius boot. Tilt the top of Radius unit back (away from you) while holding boot to pull unit off top of insert shelf and out of stand.

• Take care not to apply too much force to the fasteners! Industrial Scientific recommends 4.5 N m (40 lb in) of torque. CAUTION! Exceeding 5.6 N m (50 lb in) of torque can damage the fasteners, preventing the enclosure door from sealing. -
Page 31: Additional Storage Recommendations
Additionally, operators should regularly inspect the solar panel. The panel can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, clean cloth. Moisten the cloth only with water; never use solvents or other chemicals to clean it. All other service tasks should be performed only by Industrial Scientific or an authorized service center. -
