Sentrex Remote Power Supplies
Our fully automated SoDAR and LiDAR remote power supplies are specifically designed for reliable operation in remote sites, and has been proven in the harshest conditions Canada can deliver. Heavy duty enclosures ensure that events such as heavy ice build up, wildlife ingress and adverse weather conditions do not affect power delivery to essential loads. By using solar power when available, use of the backup power is minimized and time between service calls can be increased significantly.
All units are fully built at our Canadian headquarters, tested and operated for 24hrs in our custom designed cold climate chamber. After the quality control phase, the units are then installed at your site and commissioned on arrival.
Each of our units are fitted with a sound dampened SoDAR or LiDAR compartment with propane heating to reduce the environmental effects on the data. RSD equipped SoDAR and LiDAR Power Supplies trailers are validated against our IEC-compliant SoDAR and LiDAR validation tower to verify the full height range of remote sensing devices.
Sentrex offers purchase and full service SoDAR and LiDAR rental options on our fully automated remote power supplies.
