Aquaread BlackBox™ Instruction Manual

10401-00618  Rev P

3.3. SDI-12 Digital Interface with Self Powered Telemetry and External Power

In this configuration, the telemetry or logging device connected to the BlackBox is self
powered from internal batteries but the BlackBox and Aquaprobe are powered from an
external battery, which can have a solar panel attached if required in order to maintain
charge. 

The BlackBox is usually in power saving (sleep) mode. Requests for data on the SDI-12
bus will wake the BlackBox up and there will be a delay of up to 40 seconds (60 seconds
for   an   AP-7000)   before   data   is   ready.   During   this   time   power   will   be   drawn   from   the
external battery. After the reading, the BlackBox will re-enter sleep mode.

If the optional solar panel is to be used, the 12V battery should be sized at ~6Ah. If the
solar panel is not going to be included, a larger 12V battery (such as a car or caravan
battery) will be required, dependant upon the sampling rate and the proposed re-charge
interval.

If an AP-7000 is connected, see section  

8.4.23  Important note concerning AP-7000 self

cleaning.
