PASPORT AirLink SI (Sensor Interface)
PS-2005
Introduction
The PASPORT AirLink SI connects to Macintosh, Windows
and palmOne handheld computers wirelessly through Blue-
tooth™. Your palmOne handheld computer must be Blue-
tooth equipped from the factory. However, if your Macintosh
or Windows computer does not already offer Bluetooth capa-
bility, you may be able to add it by purchasing a Bluetooth
accessory that connects through USB. The sensor interface
uses rechargeable NiMH batteries
.
Powering the
PASPORT AirLink SI
The PASPORT AirLink SI is equipped with a 3.6 volt/850mA
NiMH rechargeable battery. To charge the sensor interface use
a
power supply. (Specifications: 5 volt DC, 2.6 A,
AC/DC direct plug-in switching power supply; Input: 100-240
Vac, 50-60 Hz, 0.6 A. Output: 5 Vdc, 2.6 A.) The power sup-
ply includes interchangeable AC input blades for use in differ-
ent countries. Install the blades suitable for power outlets in
your area.
Depending on the power demands of connected sensors and
the sampling rate, the sensor interface will normally operate
for a period of 8 hours between charges. When not in use, dis-
connect sensors and disconnect the sensor interface from the
computer. This will lengthen the "shelf life" of a charge.
Always ensure that you fully charge the sensor interface
before using it for data collection in the field. As a matter of
practice, it is a good idea to keep the interface charging until
you need to use it.
Note:
Charge for at least four hours prior to first use
Note:
The rechargeable battery can not be replaced by the
end-user. Please contact PASCO if you feel your battery is not
charging properly.
