OrderablePS150 12 V Power Supply with Charging Regulator but without a Battery
Overview
The 29290 is a 12 Vdc power supply that includes a charging regulator. You can supply the charging power for the 29290 via an unregulated solar panel, ac/ac transformer, or ac/dc converter. The 29290 provides charging with temperature compensation for optimal charging and battery life. A maximum power point tracking algorithm is incorporated for solar inputs to maximize your available solar charging resources.
Key Advantages
Technical Description
The 29290 is a micro-controller-based smart charger with temperature compensation that optimizes battery charging and increases the battery's life. Two input terminals enable simultaneous connection of two charging sources. They also incorporate a maximum power point tracking algorithm for solar inputs that maximizes available solar charging resources.
The 29290 has several safety features intended to protect the charging source, battery, charger, and load devices. Battery-reversal protection is included, as well as ESD and surge protection on all of the 29290 inputs and outputs.
Benefits
- Protects against high-amperage and high-voltage damage to power supply
- Battery reversal protection
- Allows simultaneous connection of two charging sources (e.g., solar panel, ac wall charger)
- ETL listed Class 2 power supply

- 160 μA at 13.7 Vdc
- No Battery Connected
- 930 μA at 30 V input voltage
(ac or dc)
Battery Charging
- -NOTE-
- The "T" represents temperature in degrees Celsius.
- FLOAT Charging
- Vbatt(T) = 13.65 - (24 mV) x (T - 25) + (0.24 mV) x (T - 25)2
- Accuracy
- ±1%
(on charging voltage over -40° to +60°C)
Power Out (+12 Terminals)
- Voltage
- Unregulated 12 V from battery
(4.65 A solid-state circuit breaker)
- Standards
- ETL Listed Class 2 power supply

Compatibility
Enclosure Considerations
A desiccated, non-condensing environment is required. The 29290 includes built-in keyhole flanges for mounting to the backplate of a Campbell Scientific enclosure.
Adapters
The 29290 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.
