On-board battery Option for Solar Power, UPS or Portable Applications
If you have purchased a SpeedLane Pro with the Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
built-in battery option or a solar power package, the device has an on-board high
performance LiFePO4 rechargeable battery and a high performance maximum power
point technology (MPPT) charger.
In this configuration, the SpeedLane Pro will charge from the external 12VDC power on
the 12 pin M12 connector as described in the quick start guide as well from the 4 pin M8
connector described below.
The unit has an additional IP67 rated 4 pin M8 connector as shown below. Only 2 pins of
this connector are utilized for connection to an external solar panel or external DC
charger. The other two pins should not be connected as they may be utilized for other
features in the future.
Two sets of M8 cables are provided. One has bare leads on it, and – for
connection to an external 12V (nominal) solar panel. The other is for charging via
external 24VDC power. Real time battery charge level and charging status is available
when you connect via the Houston Radar Stats Analyzer. Click on the icon for a real time
