2.12 Controlling the
internal battery
30) The battery level or the level of the charge can be checked locally or by
remote using the 8061SW-02 program: there is a specific window which
displays battery voltage and where a battery charge alarm can be set, if
necessary.
The battery status of stations can be read from any mobile phone by
sending an SMS with the code
#SM?BAT* .
The lead batteries with a nominal voltage of 12V can be damaged if
left for a long period with voltage below 11,58 V.
Below this value chemical processes, that could damage them, begin.
The AMS-8061 batteries apply a technology to reduce this
phenomenon.
Furthermore the supply circuit disconnect the load (switching the unit
off) when the battery voltage is low.
Anyway, if not used, the station should be switched off.
Battery should be recharged if the station has not to be used for a
long period.
Any part of the instrument, including the battery, can only be replaced
by NARDA, therefore in case of any damages to parts and/or
malfunctions, please contact the NARDA Service Center.
The selective unit is OFF every time the battery voltage is lower than
11 V.
