Providing Power and Communications
To accompany the BRAUMS Variable Message Sign product, we have developed a number of Roadside Cabinets depending on site requirements and wants and/or needs of the client. The Roadside Cabinets not only provide VMS power and communications interfaces to field personnel, but also for house optional battery back-up for the VMS Controller Module, external communications hardware, and the entire sign itself.
Standard facilities:
- Power connection between the VMS and the energy supply
- Communication interfacing hardware (Serial, Ethernet, Fibre, Cellular)
- 4-Way Facility Switch
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and batteries for the VMS Controller Module and communications hardware
Optional facilities:
- UPS and batteries for the whole sign (made possible due to the extremely low power consumption of the BRAUMS VMS)
- Cabinet lighting
- Solar equipment such as solar charge controller, inverter and gel batteries
