- PS100
- Item Number:
- 17252
- Warranty:
- 1 year
Overview
The PS100 provides a 12-Vdc, 7-Ah rechargeable power supply for the CR500, CR510, CR800, CR850, CR10, CR10X, and CR1000 dataloggers and peripherals. The rechargeable battery can be trickle-charged from ac power (requires optional wall charger) or from an external solar panel. The user can add an external rechargeable battery.
Technical Description
The PS100 can also be used as a separate auxiliary 12-V power supply to power remotely located sensors or peripherals, such as a multiplexer located at a distance from the data logger enclosure. However, to avoid errors in analog measurements and ground loops, the power supplies must share a common ground.

(4)A100
Null Modem Adapter for Rechargeable Power Supplies
The A100 adapter attaches to the PS100 to provide a null modem connection. This functionality is required in a station where a datalogger will not be present, such as a phone-to-RF base station.
Please note that one A100 or A105 can be used at a time. Also note that early PS100s were not compatible with the A100; PS100s shipped after 20 January 2004 (serial numbers 1391 and higher) are compatible.OrderableA105
12 V Terminal Expansion Adapter for PS1X0/200 or CH1X0/200
An A105 adapter connected to the PS100 provides four additional 12 V terminals and four additional Ground terminals. The extra terminals may make it easier for the customer to wire multiple continuously powered 12 Vdc devices to the power supply.
Please note that only one A100 or A105 can be used at a time. Also note that early PS100s were not compatible with the A105; PS100s shipped after 20 January 2004 (serial numbers 1391 and higher) are compatible.Orderable15988
Wall Charger
On one end, the 15988 has a plug that inserts into an ac wall socket. On the other end, it has pigtails that insert into the charging terminals of a CR200-series datalogger.
Orderable39177
1.67 A 24 Vdc Power Supply
The 39177 converts 100 to 240 Vac to a regulated 24 Vdc. The 39177 comes standard with a USA/Canada plug, with an option to add a kit for international use. On one end, the 39177 has a plug that inserts into a wall socket. There are several cable termination options for the other end of the cable.

Red Wire and Black Wire Power Cable Set
The 28490 includes two wires—one red and one black. These wires differ only in their insulation color; they have the same same length (1 ft) and gage (18 AWG). The red and black wires are used to connect a Campbell Scientific power supply to a datalogger. The 28490 is shipped with our power supplies and may also be purchased as a replacement part.

Compatibility
Enclosure Considerations
A desiccated, non-condensing environment is required. The PS100 includes built-in keyhole flanges for mounting to the backplate of a Campbell Scientific enclosure.
Adapters
The PS100 is compatible with the A100 null-modem adapter and the A105 adapter for additional 12 V output terminals. The A100 Null Modem Adapter connects and powers two Campbell Scientific peripherals via two CS I/O 9-pin connectors configured as a null modem. This is useful in linking different communications technologies, such as telephone to radio, at sites that do not have a data logger. The A105 adapter may be used to provide additional 12 V and ground terminals where the power supply is used to power several devices.
Charging Source
The PS100 charges with a 24 V input. However, when the battery is discharged or the system is pulling high current (about 700 mA), the regulator overheats. This, in turn, limits the charging time because the regulator is heating up until it gets so hot that it shuts down. At this point, the regulator stops charging the battery until the regulator cools down and starts charging again. This cycle repeats until the battery is charged enough so that the regulator no longer overheats. For a system with a constant current drain of 0.7 A or higher, the PS100 is not able to keep the battery charged unless the input voltage is between 16 and 20 V. If the input voltage is between 16 and 20 V, the regulator outputs continuously up to a 1.2 A load.
