Larson Electronics Solar Pyramid Docking Station on Trailer - 5' to 13.5' Mast - (2) 265W Solar Panels - Ramp

Made in Texas The SPG366A-13.5-RDS from Larson Electronics is a robust, solar-powered pyramid trailer equipped with an external mast that is used to store, transport and charge autonomous robots. This unit features two, 265-watt solar panels, an extendable mast (5` to 13.5`) and a retractable ramp for autonomous deployment and on-boarding. A battery bank provides power to the charger and other electronic components and stores energy harvested by the solar panels. *PLEASE NOTE: ANY FREE SHIPPING OFFERS DO NOT APPLY TO LIGHT MASTS OR LIGHT TOWERS* The SPG366A-13.5-RDS is a hands-off, reliable solution to autonomous robot transportation and charging. The enclosure is designed to house an autonomous robot in an unattended manner. Solar panels on the side of the pyramid trailer charges the batteries, which are used to power and recharge the robot. This towable unit can be transported and deployed by a single operator for increased versatility on the job. A retractable ramp may be used to aid deployment and on-boarding. The compressor and all other on-board electronics are powered fully by the solar-charged battery bank. Mast: The mast component, which is externally positioned behind the pyramid, is constructed of high strength, heat treated aluminum tubing for durability. This unit can reach heights between 5` and 13.5`. The tower is comprised of four sections and includes a locking top mounting plate. Internal wiring within the pneumatic mast aids in cable management, as well as reducing tampering and vandalism. The mast is elevated using an air compressor, sold separately. An air release valve located at the base of this pneumatic mast allows operators to lower the tower. Trailer: The SPG366A-13.5-RDS comes mounted on a durable and ruggedly constructed pyramid style trailer that is designed with both toughness and ease of use in mind. The trailer features a removable tongue, a retractable ramp, spring axles and four retractable 1000 pound manual crank leveling outriggers for safe and secure job location deployment. The solar panels are mounted to the powder coated desert tan pyramid enclosure with a slider system that allows them to be open during operation and slid over each other for safer transit. For long term deployment scenarios, the tongue can be removed by pulling out a retention pin and removing the tow cables before pulling the tongue straight out for a smaller footprint, and to reduce the chance of theft during deployment. The pyramid enclosure also offers operators plenty of room for logos and advertisements, if so desired. The pyramid enclosure carries a NEMA 3R weatherproof rating. The top of the pyramid enclosure is fully removable for easier maintenance access and to allow operators to more easily install their security equipment within the housing. Batteries: The SPG366A-13.5-RDS features two 200aH 12V deep cycle acid glass mat rechargeable batteries connected in series for a 24V battery bank maintaining 200aH. Of the 200aH, 100aH are useable while maintaining 50% capacity. It is recommended to not allow the battery bank to deplete below 50% capacity, doing so will reduce longevity of the batteries and reduce consecutive charge cycles. Deployment: The deployment process on the SPG366A-13.5-RDS is simple and can be done by a lone operator. Once the trailer is towed to the desired location, it is disconnected from the towing vehicle. The retractable outriggers are then extended and used to level the trailer. The wheels coming off the ground during this process is not unusual. The tongue can also be removed at this point if the unit is being used for a lengthy deployment. Once leveled, the operator then pulls out the safety retention pin on the solar panel slider and slides the front solar panel all the way to the right before replacing the pin. The solar panels are angle adjustable and should be adjusted to an angle that will allow them to absorb the most sun light at this point. In situations such as entertainment events, remote work areas, security and other applications where the lighting, security cameras, or network equipment must be placed close to the benefactors, the elimination of noise and fumes typically associated with diesel generators is a great benefit. The silent operation also aids in high profile security applications. Solar power generators offer a low maintenance alternative to traditional diesel powered generators that require refueling and a qualified diesel mechanic to maintain and/or repair them. Solar Charge Controller: In this 24 volt system solar control system, each panel is terminated with a fused combiner box with a single lever action cut-off switch. With the switch set to the `on` position, the combiner box passes power to the 60-amp capacity Morningstar TriStart MPPT solar charge controller. Oddly enough, most charge controllers aren’t rated past 104 degrees Fahrenheit despite the fact the will always be close to direct sunlight. In the summer time in Texas, our fabrication shop is normally warmer than that, so this solar light tower uses a charge controller that would support the southern heat. We improve on that capability by shading the charge controller and adding additional air flow from the exhaust of a 1400 CFM component cooling system. Component Control Center: In order to ensure that the 50% threshold on the batteries is controlled, this solar trailer includes a system of min/max voltage sensors and relays that monitor the voltage produced by the batteries and will automatically shut off power distribution when the battery capacity falls below 50%. This protects the batteries from failure. We also include ground fault protection and a Morningstar RM-2 remote digital monitoring system to track and log all activities related to the charger controller and battery health. In the event there is an issue with the solar trailer, the SD card can be removed from the Morningstar RM-2 and sent to Larson Electronics for analysis. All the electrical components, including the combiner panel, charge controller, over/under battery monitoring and ground fault isolation are encapsulated in a NEMA 3R pyramid enclosure that is bolted to the trailer. Since most of these components are not rated for high heat, our component cooling system circulates air within the job box at 1400 CFM when the ambient temperature exceeds 90¡ Fahrenheit. The component control center also includes a terminal block so that customers can mount additional electronic gear without interfering with the charging systems. The pyramid system includes a locking access door for security purposes.
