12.2. Tank Cap Switch Actuator
Alternatively a tank cap switch actuator is available. The design mimics
as the name implies a tank cap. Here too, switching occurs by a
magnet. Pulling the magnet turns the DPSI Ampere on, putting it back
turns it off. The quiescent current of the DPSI Ampere increases a little
up to approx. 30µA with a tank cap switch actuator. When storing the
models (some month or even years) the batteries are better
disconnected from the DPSI Ampere.
When turned on, the transparent ring of the tank cap switch actuator is
illuminated in red. If errors are encountered (e.g. low voltage) the ring
"blinks" synchronously with the buzzer if tests are activated.
