Hi,

I have been designing Solar Power System for industrial applications,
mainly Telecom and Oil field applications.

I am looking for an Alarm monitoring system which can be interfaced
with charge controller of the system. The system can give the following
alarms:

1. Battery High Voltage,
2. Battery Low Voltage
3. Solar Array failure
4. Charge Controller failure

The above mentioned alarms can be seen through a laptop via RS 232
port. More over these alarms can be monitored by a remote computer via
modem.

Please let me know if anybody knows the availability of such system.

Regards.

Siddhartha

 Try calling Dan Pringle at

They have offered solar controllers with these features.

 Hi Bill,

Thank you for your comments. I purchase controller from Dan's DST. But
I want to separate the controller battery management function from the
alarm monitoring function. Sometimes for these facilities, I am forced
to buy very expensive controller like MPR from DST.

If I have a separate alarm monitoring system, I can use any controller
and make compatible with it. I think separate alarm monitoring system
can be made which is compatible to normal charge controller.

For a small system, I do not see any reason to buy very expensive
controller from DST.

Regards.

Siddhartha

 this system dont need modem it is over air.
I am using this(TX3600) for 3-4 years for remote teperature measuring
and tief alarm.
it has analog inputs so you can switch anithing you want.
my friend has developed this system in australia.
