Battery Test
If using a rechargeable power supply,
disconnect the charging source (i.e., solar panel
or ac transformer) from the battery pack. Wait
20 minutes before proceeding with this test.
Test Voltage at Charging Regulator
Set a voltmeter to read dc voltage as high as 15
V. Measure the voltage between a
12V
and
G
terminal on the charging regulator.
Is the voltage > 11.0 Vdc?
No
Yes
Test the Battery Under Load
Program the CR800 to measure battery voltage
using a 0.01-second scan rate. Use the
voltmeter to measure the voltage between a
12V
and
G
terminal on the charging regulator.
Is the voltage > 10.8 Vdc?
Is the battery a sealed, rechargeable
battery?
No
No
Yes
Is the voltage ≥ 10.5 Vdc?
Replace battery / batteries*
No
Yes
Yes
Recharge battery*
Is the battery voltage > 12 Vdc?
Battery voltage is adequate for CR800 operation. However, if the CR800 is to function for a long
period, Campbell Scientific recommends replacing, or, if using a sealed, rechargeable battery,
recharging the battery so the voltage is > 12 Vdc.
No
Yes
The battery is good.
*When using a sealed, rechargeable battery that is recharged with primary power provided by solar panel or ac/ac - ac/dc transformer, testing the charging regulator
is recommended. See
Charging Regulator with Solar Panel Test
(p. 479)
or
Charging Regulator with Transformer Test
(p. 481).
10.9.3.2 Charging Regulator with Solar Panel Test
The procedure outlined in this flow chart tests PS100 and CH100 charging
regulators that use solar panels as the power source. If a need for repair is
indicated after following the procedure, see
Assistance
(p. 5)
for information on
sending items to Campbell Scientific.
