Portable Power Module for Güralp Certimus
Operation
Note:
Before shipping, the unit’s internal battery is factory-charged to
approximately 50% of its capacity , providing an output of between 7.2 and
7.4 volts. This prolongs the battery life. See section 6.1 on page 19 for
more details.
For installations with solar panels, if the panels are exposed to light, simply
connecting them will wake the PPM from hibernation.
Caution:
Before connecting solar panels to the PPM, please read the notes
and instructions in section 4.2 on page 9.
4.1.2 Putting the PPM into hibernation mode
Note:
Before putting the PPM into hibernation, arrange for the charge on
the unit’s internal battery to be approximately 50% of its capacity ,
providing an output of between 7.2 and 7.4 volts. This prolongs the
battery life. See section 6.1 on page 19 for more details.
The PPM can be put into hibernation mode in two ways:
•
using the web interface of a connected Certimus; or
•
using an RS232 diagnostic cable and a PC with a terminal emulator.
These two methods are described in the following sections.
Note:
The diagnostic cable is not normally supplied and must be ordered
separately from the PPM.
4.1.3 Using the web interface
When the PPM is powering a Certimus, visit the web page of the Certimus and select
the "Power" tab.
Note:
The "Power" tab of the Certimus' web interface is only present when
the Certimus has been booted with a PM connected.
Left-click on the
button. This enqueues the shutdown: The PPM
will continue to function until the charge input voltage drops below 1 Volt. At this
point, communication with the PPM will be lost and the data displayed for it will
freeze. The power output will be turned off so, if the Certimus doesn’t have power
available from PoE on the Ethernet cable, it will power down at this point.
