RMS-200
RMS-200 Is a unique remote voltage monitoring, data acquisition, and control device
specifically designed for
use with battery powered wireless internet repeater sites, or other AC & DC powered
remote equipment
RMS-200 Has ultra low power consumption and won't put a drain on your power source. Uses less than 2 watts.
RMS-200 Is powered by DC voltage from 10 to 60 volts.
RMS-200 Uses embedded Ethernet technology for internet data acquisition and remote voltage monitoring.
RMS-200 Uses the LINUX operating system for versatility, stability, and security.
RMS-200 Gives you the situational awareness you need to keep your equipment
operational and reliable.
Possible Applications
AC or Battery Powered Microwave / Telephony / Network Equipment
Use RMS-200 to monitor battery levels, room temperature, signal strength (RSSI) on
radios and more. RMS-200 has 6 onboard isolated voltmeters
giving it the ability to measure DC voltage from -100 to +100 volts with 24 bit accuracy.
RMS-200 also has 3
power relays giving it the unique ability to turn on/off devices remotely using an
Internet connection. Use the power relays to remote
start a generator. RMS-200 has 5 dedicated input pins used for door alarms,
solar panel theft prevention, or to monitor
motion sensors. RMS-200 has an on-board temperature sensor and
can alert you to dangerous temperature conditions. RMS-200 has a full featured
serial port, control modems, cell phones, gsm modules, and other devices that use serial
communication. RMS-200 has two USB 2.0 ports that supports several USB devices
concurrently using a USB hub. Control USB cameras, store data on USB flash drives, control
USB speakers etc. RMS-200 has input and output pins used to control your own custom
devices. RMS-200 can alert you via email or SMS messages when your battery bank is
low. RMS-200 has ping monitor software that allows you to monitor network devices
and alert you to failure and possibly power cycle the device. Monitor all this information
remotely over an Internet connection using an ordinary web browser. RMS-200 gives
you direct hardware control of fans, lights, computers, cameras, modems, radios, etc... No
more guessing what your battery levels are. No more wondering if your signal
strengths are at an acceptable level. No more long drives to reset a fussy
radio. Let RMS-200 do this all remotely via the Internet.
The ultimate in remote voltage monitoring for your solar and wind powered sites.
