Dear customer,

 

thank you that you have decided to buy this product.

 

Following we have listed the things which you have to care for the first use:

 

The StromPi 2 expansion board is the new development of the popular company Joy

-

IT 

Power

-

Solution.

 

Not only that the voltage

-

range was increased to 6V

-

61V that you can connect more batte-

ries or a higher voltage supply, the StromPi 2 board now outputs a maximum current of 3A, 

that also bigger projects of you are no problem.

 

Additional to that, a reset

-

function for the Raspberry Pi was included to extend the UPS

-

function of the StromPi 2.

 

 

Because of the new super flat design and 

binding, you can put the StromPi 2 in 

many different casings and use it in 

additional ways.

 

The StromPi 2 allows you to connect your 

Raspberry Pi with any voltage source with 

a 6V

-

61V voltage range.

 

Because of that you have additional ways 

to use your Raspberry Pi ( car, truck, ship, 

industrial plant for example).

 

Optional, the Raspberry Pi gets an up-

grade of the USB

-

output to a high

-

power

-

USB connection, to provide performance 

intense USB

-

disk drives.

 

 

The integrated UPS

-

function enables you to secure your critical applications against power 

blackouts.

 

You can monitor the UPS

-

function via Raspberry Pi software and the software can send an e

-

mail, for example, if a power blackout occurs.

 

Because of efficiently used controllers, you can use batteries to run the Raspberry Pi mobil.

 

 

Useful expansion of the UPS

-

mode: After the StromPi 2 shuts down the Raspberry Pi becau-

se of a power blackout, the new reset

-

function restarts the Raspberry Pi if the power black-

out ends.
