wiring in the Device was damaged due to excessive vibrations. Holder
charging harness including the charging pins is available as spare part,
which can be installed by the user. If the charging issue is caused by
damaged internal wiring in the Device, the Device can be sent to Carpe
Iter for repair (fee may be charged for the repair);
11.8.
Device does not charge sufficiently (battery level goes down, but active charging
IS
indicated on the System Bar and Carpe Manager app - Power&Charge):
11.8.1.
check your current consumption. If it
on average
(occasional spikes should not
matter) exceeds 2A, shut down some of the running apps and processes to bring
the consumption down (charging limitation of the Device is 2A). Current
consumption can be checked in the Carpe Manager
–
Power&Charge tab or system
pull-down menu,
while the Device is disconnected from charging.
11.8.2.
lift the Device from the Holder and put it back. It will let the charging pins in the
Holder re-align. you do not need to remove the Device from the Holder completely
–
it is enough to lift one side at the spring-loaded hook (the moving part) to break
contact with the charging pins and place it back.
11.8.3.
clean the Holder charging pins
. Refer to Section 9.10.3 and 9.10.6. If cleaning the
pins does not help, they might be worn out. Replace charging harness in the
Holder (available as spare part);
11.8.4.
check all cables for broken leads. Check and clean all connectors between the
holder and your bike (unplug, apply contacts cleaner followed by electrical
contacts grease and re-plug);
11.8.5.
check ripple current (voltage) on your vehicle (oscilloscope and electricians skills
required
–
have a professional workshop perform the check). If the ripple voltage
exceeds 50mV, it might affect proper function of the Holder power source. Ripple
voltage exceeding 50mV indicates bad alternator/DC rectifier in your vehicle.
11.9.
System battery level indicator seems wrong:
11.9.1.
System battery level indicator will not match voltage level indicated by the Carpe
Manager most of the time. That is normal.
11.9.2.
The Carpe Manager app charging algorithms will attempt to calibrate the battery
level indicator automatically (see Section 7.14). The battery level indicator can also
be calibrated manually to achieve accurate readings:
11.9.2.1.
Leave the Device powered up until it runs out of power and shuts down
automatically. In case you leave the LCD screen on, set it to minimum
brightness;
11.9.2.2.
After the Device shuts down, connect to the supplied
USB wall charger
,
after the operating systems boots disable the AI Charging (see Section
7.12) and let it charge fully. Do not rely on the indicated battery level
–
you are trying to calibrate that indicator and it could be wrong. Fully
charged battery will show voltage in the Carpe Manager between 4,2 and
4,3V. When fully charged, the Current Now reading in the Carpe Manager
- Power&Charge tab will drop below 500mA
when LCD brightness is
turned down to 0 (zero)
(LCD has big power draw, so the Current Now
