Self-sufficient energy supply - Solar system optimized for RAD Line radio systems

The question of the power supply often arises for the acquisition of signals from remote-lying sensors. Phoenix Contact now offers you a completely self-sufficient power supply with the solar system RAD-SOL-SET-24-100. WIth the solar system and the corresponding wireless modules, signals from distant sensors can be acquired completely independently of the power network.


The solar system is designed for a wide application range, and specifically for the supply of RAD Line wireless modules. Based on the strongly varying degree of solar radiation at the respective application sites, various permissible connection powers result.



Pre-assembled control cabinet


Pre-assembled control cabinet for solar systems
The solar system has a pre-configured control cabinet in addition to the solar cells with:
  • Charger
  • Solar batteries
  • Protection and safety systems
  • Mounting bracket and
  • Surge protection.

The assembly material provided ensures a stable structure, which, depending on the installation location, can be used to align the solar cells with the relevant position of the sun.

The system is designed so that even on short dark winter days, sufficient solar power is provided. A separate, vented battery compartment is provided for the batteries.




Typical installation set-up of a solar system


By using the RAD-SOL-SET-24-100 solar system, for example, it is possible to collect data from distant sensors without being dependent on the power grid. Charger, solar battery, surge protection and fuses are supplied prewired in a sturdy control cabinet. The solar panel generates sufficient power to supply the wireless system and to recharge the battery.
