Wide mode
While in the "WIDE"
-
mode, the StromPi can be started and used with the stan-
dard micro
-
USB port or with the WIDE
-
range voltage input, which is for energy
sources with 6V
-
61V.
This function will be used at vehicles (like cars, trucks, ships), or at mobile usage
with batteries.
The power source of the micro
-
USB connection will be preferred here, at a
power blackout, it will also switch to the WIDE
-
range power source without a
break. We advise this mode for the direct use of a power source at the WIDE
-
range input
-
for battery buffered systems we advise you to use the before men-
tioned UPS
-
mode. Even if the StromPI will be provided with the micro USB, it will
use 3
-
7mA, while in WIDE
-
mode, from the wide
-
range
-
power source, thats like a
thousand times higher than the standby
-
usage of the UPS
-
mode.
We advise you to use a ON/OFF switch at the Wide
-
range power supply because
if it is not used in a car for example, the battery will not discharged from it.
Switching between UPS & Wide mode
You could pick one of the two modes at the front site of the board
-
please check
the marks at the circuit board.
For a mode change, both jumpers have to be replugged!
