Question:
Can I use any power supply with SRMS?
Answer:
No, SRMS was designed to use DC current only. DC voltage from 8 to 60 volts may
be used. You may provide power to SRMS directly from a 8 to 60 volt battery, or
use an Ac to Dc wall outlet transformer with at least 1000 ma rating.
Question:
When I hook up my shunt I get strange readings from the ADC inputs?
Answer:
When using a shunt to calculate amperage, make sure that you are routing the negative wire through the shunt not the positive wire.
Question:
I have four 6 volt batteries in series to make a large 24v battery. Can I use the Voltmeters to measure each individual 6 volt battery?
Answer:
No! You will only be able to measure the battery bank as a single 24 volt battery. If you hook up wires
to each individual battery and attach them to the Voltmeter inputs, you will risk blowing the traces off
the SRMS circuit board causing catastrophic failure thus voiding the warranty. As a rule of thumb, never attach
SRMS Voltmeter wires to any battery post that is directly connected to another battery post of the opposite
polarity.
Question:
Can the power relays be used with AC current?
Answer:
Yes! The power relays on the SRMS device
can be used for AC and DC powered equipment. Caution must be taken not to
overload the current capacity for the relays. The smaller relays can pass
5 amps, and the large relay can pass 10 amps.
Question:
How do I change the default HTTP port 80 to 8080?
Answer:
The web server on the SRMS boards is called BOA.
Use the file explorer under the setup menu to navigate to the /etc/httpd/conf/ folder and edit line
two of the boa.conf file. Change the line that says Port 80 to Port 8080.
Save the file and then either restart BOA in the service manager (under the setup menu)
or simply reboot the SRMS board. When the BOA web server is restart by either method,
you will need to access it like this: http://10.10.10.10:8080
