The Ceraun 1 outdoor power supply and battery backup unit provides reliable PoE (power over Ethernet) power for Tropos outdoor mesh routers, wired clients and network backhaul equipment.

Ceraun 1 is designed to power a Tropos mesh router and a wired client such as a video camera or AMI collector. The battery in Ceraun 1 will provide backup power to both the Tropos router and the wired client or network backhaul device. If the AC power input to the Ceraun 1 or Ceraun 2 fails, it provides 24 VDC to the connected Tropos router and 48 VDC to the wired client. The transition from 48 VDC to 24 VDC is detected by the Tropos router, which sends an alarm trap to the Supros network management system indicating AC power has failed. The length of time that the unit can power the router and its client depends on a number of factors, including the duty cycle of the attached Tropos router, the actual power consumption of the client, the age of the battery and the ambient temperature of the installation. The Ceraun’s internal battery is field replaceable. Expected backup time (battery capacity and backup time decreases as ambient temperature increases or decreases)Single box, outdoor power supply and battery backup unit; 25W power for any TropOS router and 25W to power a wired client; battery backup for both the router and the client. Requires a power cable, choose one of PT021004, PT021020, PT031006, PT031030, PT032030.
