Connecting Power
Power comes from an external power source. The device supports both 12V and 24V
power supplies. It accepts DC voltage from 10.5 to 30V; the amount of power required
varies depending upon the options used.
Note
The 8-slot chassis supports one or two power modules; the 4-slot chassis supports a single
power module.
The RTU does not include an internal charger or other infrastructure to support a battery
or battery/solar power combination. If you choose to use a solar panel, you must provide
your own external charging mechanisms and connect to the external power terminals.
