POWER FAILURE
The power failure status is the working mode of HI504901
when the mains power supply fails and the interface works
using the internal backup battery.
In this situation the green “SMS enable” and red “SMS dis-
able” LEDs are in the following conditions:
LED Status Meaning
SMS enable (green) blinking SMS sending enabled
SMS disable (red) OFF
SMS enable (green) OFF SMS sending disabled
SMS disable (red) blinking
All other LEDs (excluding the digital output LED when the
digital output contact is closed) are turned off.
If the SMS sending is user enabled, then alarm SMS related
to power failure event will be sent by
HI504901 to the pro-
grammed number(s) (see “SMS delivery” section).
After that, if
1. sending of maximum number of repeated messages is
reached without user confirmation, or
2. HI504901 receives a phone call from one of the pro-
grammed number(s) to confirm alarm SMS reception, or
3. SMS sending is disabled through external switch,
then
HI504901 turns off the cellular phone engine to pre-
vent internal backup battery consumption.
Note
If SMS sending was disabled before power supply failure event,
then cellular phone is immediately turned off and no alarm
will be issued by interface.
While in power failure status HI504901 does not perform
device polling procedure, so that new alarms on instruments
connected to the interface can not be notified.
Also interface configuration and PC communications (both lo-
cal & remote) are not allowed until mains supply comes back.
When the mains power supply comes back, the cellular phone
turns on and cellular initialization procedure takes place (it
keeps about 30 seconds). As in start-up procedure, during
cellular phone initialization the red LED for SMS disable turns
on while the green LED (SMS enable) turns off. When cellular
phone is ready,
HI504901 sends the SMS “Power is OK now!”
to the programmed number(s), if SMS sending is enabled.
