<p>N6UOW: /* Possible Future Equipment */</p> <hr /> <div>The {{840}} is one of [[PBARC]]'s [[repeaters]].<br /> <br /> == Electrical measurements ==<br /> <br /> Shack has only one 20A breaker feeding us, from the control shack at the site compound.<br /> <br /> We should not have more load than 16A on our 20A breaker, to prevent tripping in the summertime.<br /> <br /> (It appears that some water controls use the same multi-conductor cable as power in.)<br /> <br /> (The power feed to the control shack is 480V, through a transformer, to a breaker subpanel, then to conduit to us.)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === AC power === <br /> * 2 m repeater: 12.25A on 50W TX (not much overhead for other gear...)<br /> * DMR repeater: 0.25A quiescent, 1.03A on 15W TX<br /> <br /> <br /> === DC power ===<br /> <br /> * 2 m repeater: 4.8A on 20W TX (repeater drops to medium RF power while on battery power) <br /> * 2 m repeater: 0.75A while quiescent (listening) <br /> <br /> * batteries: model 8144, 6-v Deep Discharge (typical Golf Cart type), <br /> * charger: maker: Foval charges at 1.0 Ah (so it will take a long time to build back a charge after a long outage)<br /> <br /> == Things to acquire for the site (2022-01-15) ==<br /> <br /> Waterproof documents box (with desiccant packet)<br /> <br /> 12v Fuse Panel, power pole connectors, ala RigRunner)<br /> <br /> 2-RU rackmount panel (to mount the fuse panel)<br /> <br /> 10x24 machine screws, for use in the Chatsworth 2-post racks<br /> (In a labeled container, with desiccant)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Info from Andy G, 2022-01-19 ==<br /> <br /> Harbor Water is in charge of this stie, and we want to stay on their good side...<br /> <br /> Herman (?) at Harbor Water got us involved at the site... but Herman is leaving Harbor Water...<br /> <br /> We can ONLY have PBARC property at the site. (PBARC cannot offer access to non-PBARC gear. (Expect that someone from Harbor Water WILL inspect the shack. All our gear should be labeled!) <br /> <br /> NO cameras will be allowed on-site. Even asking to discuss cameras is likely to make trouble.<br /> (Landowners have extreme privacy concerns. It is a VERY HOT TOPIC.)<br /> <br /> == Possible Future Equipment At The Site ==<br /> <br /> Fire Radio(s): low-power VHF, antenna ~25' up the tower, with solar panels and batteries, being provided by Andy G.<br /> <br /> Water Radio(s) will be 900 MHz SCADA data link radios, antennas mounted on the top section of the tower.<br /> <br /> Ambient Weather weather station, external temp/humidity sensor, rain and wind. Weather Underground.<br /> <br /> weather/security camera(s) <br /> <br /> telemetry monitor/reporter (Arduino/RPi, clock, sensors)<br /> <br /> Internet link? (600 Amps, RF link)</div>
