RMS-100 Introduction
RMS-100 The baby RMS; 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-100 Has ultra low power consumption and won't put a drain on your power source. Uses only 1.2 watts!
RMS-100 Is powered by DC voltage from 10 to 60 volts.
RMS-100 Uses embedded Ethernet technology for internet data acquisition and remote voltage monitoring.
RMS-100 Uses the LINUX operating system for versatility, stability, and security.
RMS-100 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-100 to monitor battery levels, room temperature, signal strength (RSSI) on radios and more. RMS-100 has 3 onboard isolated voltmeters giving it the ability to measure DC voltage from -100 to +100 volts with 24 bit accuracy. RMS-100 also has 2 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-100 has 5 dedicated input pins used for door alarms, solar panel theft prevention, or to monitor motion sensors. RMS-100 has an on-board temperature sensor and can alert you to dangerous temperature conditions. RMS-100 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-100 has input and output pins used to control your own custom devices. RMS-100 can alert you via email or SMS messages when your battery bank is low. RMS-100 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-100 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-100 do this all remotely via the Internet. The ultimate in remote voltage monitoring for your solar and wind powered sites.
