The below station diagnostics information is used to help ensure the station is operating efficiently and the
power system to the station is operating correctly. An SP10 10 Watt solar panel,
and an AC to DC power cube connected to an AC outlet, are used to charge a 12 VDC power source.
The system uses a CH201 Smart 12 VDC Charging Regulator. The controller manages amperage and voltage
for safe, optimized battery charging from a solar-panel or AC power source. It also measures various input, output, and status
parameters to allow close monitoring of the battery and station components. In addition, device temperatures, outside air temperature, and enclosure conditions
are monitored with sensors like the CS210, since these conditions can all affect power equipment.
