Power Options in MacSync
Inbuilt Battery
MacSync devices, including all Maya sensor nodes (CO2, temperature, humidity, air pressure, light, PM2.5, noise, and advanced soil sensors), are designed to operate directly using the built-in battery.
- To connect RS485 or analog sensors with the inbuilt battery:
- Follow the wiring specifications provided by your sensor’s manufacturer.
- Ensure power requirements match the MacSync’s supported limits.
Solar Panel Support
When connecting MacSync to a solar panel or external sensors (e.g., weather stations):
- Use an external junction connector.
- Follow the installation and connection guidelines provided by both MacSync and the sensor manufacturer to ensure safe and reliable operation.
External Power Supply
MacSync also supports direct external power input (12–24 V DC):
- Ensure wiring is done as per MacSync and the sensor manufacturer’s power and polarity specifications.
- This is ideal for installations where continuous power is available and high-frequency data logging is required.
Terminal Connections
Connecting external power
MacSync can also be powered through a direct external DC source within a 12–24 V range. Ensure proper connection using a compatible terminal or jack, and always refer to both MacSync and sensor manufacturer specifications for safe operation.
