Integrated AC/DC Intelligent Power Supply for Field Instruments
Integrated AC/DC Intelligent Power Supply
Most monitoring sites aren’t next to a wall outlet. When your data loggers and sensors sit on a remote slope or inside a borehole, power isn’t just a spec on a datasheet—it’s the difference between continuous data and a gap-filled record. The integrated AC/DC intelligent power supply from Kingmach is built around that reality. Instead of separate adapters, chargers, and battery modules, it combines AC mains input, DC backup, and charge management in one enclosure. Power switching is automatic, so instruments keep running during grid fluctuations or generator refueling. For geotechnical and environmental monitoring, that means fewer wiring headaches and less time onsite configuring separate power components. Kingmach has been supplying monitoring instruments for over a decade, and the power units are designed to pair easily with dataloggers, automatic weather stations, and wireless transmission modules from the same product range. The result is a power chain that matches the ruggedness of the sensors it feeds.
Technical Detail
Configured around process stability, mold life, and long-term uptime.
Kingmach’s integrated AC/DC intelligent power supply eliminates the need to source and match separate power modules for each monitoring station. It accepts standard AC input (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and automatically transitions to DC backup when mains fail. The built‑in battery management monitors voltage, temperature, and charge cycles to extend battery life—a practical detail in projects where replacing batteries means a long walk up a hill. Multiple output voltages are configurable (typically 12 VDC and 24 VDC), covering the requirements of most geotechnical instruments. The metal enclosure is rated for outdoor use (IP65) and includes cable glands to keep moisture out. Installation is straightforward: mount the box, connect AC in, and attach your instrument and battery cables to clearly labeled terminals. In applications like slope stability monitoring, dam safety, or groundwater logging, the integrated design reduces potential failure points. Since Kingmach manufactures both the instruments and the power supply, the team can pre‑configure the unit for your sensor load before shipping, saving you bench time. The product fits into Kingmach’s broader portfolio of monitoring solutions and can be customized for solar input if your site has no grid access at all.

FAQ
Common technical questions
Can this power supply handle a mix of 12V and 24V sensors at the same time?
Yes, the unit provides multiple output terminals that can be set to different voltages when ordered. Tell us your sensor mix, and we configure the outputs before shipping.
What happens to data during a power cut?
The intelligent switchover to DC backup is seamless—dataloggers don’t reset, and no measurement cycle is lost. Battery capacity is sized to your load, typically supporting 24–72 hours of autonomy.
Do I need to bring a laptop to site to set it up?
No, basic configuration like charging thresholds and output voltage is done through dip switches inside the enclosure. More advanced settings are available via RS‑485, but most customers use the factory defaults.
Is it compatible with solar panels?
The standard version handles AC + battery. For solar input, we offer a variant with an integrated MPPT charge controller—just specify that when ordering.
How does the intelligent management protect the battery?
It tracks temperature, voltage, and cycle count, and adjusts charging accordingly. Low‑voltage disconnect prevents deep discharge damage, which is a common issue in unattended stations.
