Battery backup

five.five-six · 01/05/2018, 07:59 PM

So, I have a 6105.500 tunze connected to one of my 6501’s and an 18AH battery fir life support in the event of a power failure. Just needs to run long enough for me to get home to hook up the genorator.

The problem is that once the power goes out to the AC Classic, the 0-10V port goes dead and the pump stops. Is there a way to keep the 0-10V alive during a power outage?

You could plug an EB into a UPS that will then power the base unit through the Aquabus. Or you could use the Aux Power connection on the base unit and plug the wall wart into a UPS.

That sucks

How about if you have fallback to ON?

I'm not really wanting to put another UPS under there. can I power the power port off the 12v battery I'm using for the 6105?

Well... it is a 12V power supply that runs the Apex aux. power, so I suppose the answer is 'yes'. I'm sure someone on here knows how to cobble something together, but it isn't me!

Does anyone here have a neptune power supply who can mesure the voltage and tell me if it’s center positive and the exact voltage they are getting? Thanks
