Manage Power Saving Mode
The receiver can put itself in low-power mode when its supply voltage drops below a user-
configurable level. This can for example be used to prevent battery over-discharge when the
receiver is powered from an external battery.
Power saving is configured with the
and
commands. When the supply voltage at the PWR connector drops below the threshold set
with the
command, the receiver enters low-power sleep mode for
a duration given by
. At the end of this period, the receiver wakes
up and either resumes operation normally if the supply voltage is sufficient, or otherwise
returns into sleep mode after about 30 seconds for a new period of time.
For example, to configure the receiver to sleep for one hour when the external supply
voltage drops below 11.6V, use the following commands:
setStandbyMonitoring, 3600 <CR>
exeCopyConfigFile, Current, Boot <CR>
The last command makes sure to save the configuration in non-volatile memory (see sec-
tion 1.5), so that power monitoring remains active when the receiver wakes up.
During the sleep period, power-cycling the receiver will make it alive for at least 30 seconds
before it goes back into sleep if the supply voltage is too low. This should give enough time
to change the settings, or disable power saving if necessary.
Note that it is also possible to have the receiver sleep and wake up following a user-defined
pattern, independently of the supply voltage. See the
ScheduledSleep
mode in the
command.
