Notel DPS Case introduction

The Dedicated Power System solution for Drive Test is based on battery pack, power inverter, and battery charger.

Even brief power outages can result in data loss or potential hardware damage. This system provides battery backup power to keep your devices running during power outages or short outages or short tests outside the car, providing also enough uptime to restore the main power source. This avoids the time waste for the measurement environment restart.

Notel Power Supply Case (DPS) is a solution for the safe and convenient connection of expensive and sensitive measuring equipment. Dedicated to car installations to support all measurement equipment necessary to conduct an effective Drive Test campaign.

Hardware Quantity Amps Voltage Watts Power source
ASUS/NUC mini computer 1 9,23 19 185 Eletrcical contact
TEMS USB SMART HUB (6x port) 1 3,75 12 45 Eletrcical contact
Laptop (Optional) 1 3,25 20 65 Eletrcical contact

Battery pack power sustain – 12V * 35Ah = 420Wh

1xHW case time sustain – 420Wh/319W = 1h 20min
