Monitoring Battery Capacity
After the lamp is switched on for the first time so is the microcontroller. At that time the
microprocessor does not have any information about the state of the charge of the battery. The
process of battery’s initial discharge is based on the voltage measurement.
After the battery is discharged and subsequently fully charged all control of the charge level is
maintained by the microcontroller which measures the flow of the electric charge from and to the
battery. In parallel with the charge flow measurement the microcontroller monitors the time the
diodes are switched on. During working cycle (lamp usage) from fully charged, the minimum time
the MLED must be able to emit light at 100% intensity is 10 hours. After that time the base factor
determining the functioning of the lamp is the amount of consumed charge. Once the total consumed
charge reaches 9Ah the normal operation of the lamp is disabled. During this period ALED can be
switched on for a period of 3 seconds at the time. During the lamp usage, in parallel with the used
charge measurement the battery voltage is measured. Once the voltage drops below 3V then
irrespective of the time the MLED is switched on or the amount of consumed charge the whole
operation of the lamp is EMERGENCY DISABLED.
During lamp usage the microcontroller indicates the following levels of discharge:
•
80% discharge of the capacity dedicated to the lamp - MLED flashes 6 times
•
99% discharge of the capacity dedicated to the lamp – MLED flashes 3 times
Actual level of battery’s remaining capacity is constantly indicated by the ELED flashing as follows:
•
81-100% capacity remaining – ELED flashes 5 times
•
61 -80% capacity remaining – ELED flashes 4 times
•
41-60% capacity remaining – ELED flashes 3 times
•
21-40% capacity remaining – ELED flashes 2 times
•
0-20% capacity remaining – ELED flashes 1 time
The ELED flashes in the following pattern: 200ms – flash, 300ms pause, 2.5s pause between the
cycles.

To enable initial battery charge the electronic board with microcontroller must be connected to
the battery by means of a connector under the battery casing cover (Figure 1-3)
