8.1 SI online battery warning
Online via the system
In SmartIntego Online, a low battery status is signalled to the system by
a designated bit when a booking (locking device event or 'Get status') is
made. The system integrator must take this bit into account – by
creating suitable warnings, for example – to prevent SI-Locking Cylinder
from discharging completely.
It can take up to 24 hours before the SI-Locking Cylinder resets the
battery warning after a battery replacement.
On site at the locking device
It is also possible to use the SmartIntego tool to programme a battery
replacement card. If you hold this card up to the card reader on the
locking device, an internal resistance test is performed immediately,
serving as a battery test. The warning on the locking device is
immediately reset if the batteries have been replaced after a battery
warning and a battery replacement card is used to complete an internal
resistance test on the locking device concerned.
In this case, no freeze mode or escalation levels are created, only
information transmitted by the 'Event' or 'GetStatus' (such as a warning
or alarm), which the ACP needs to evaluate.
8.2 SI offline battery warning
This offline function is expected to be available from 2016.
Warning Level 1:
Low batteries: 8 short audible s LED flashes red briefly 8 times
before engaging. Batteries will soon be empty. Replace batteries in the
SmartHandle.
Warning Level 2:
Extremely low batteries: 8 short audible signals 30 seconds long + LED
flashes red twice briefly with one second pause between each one
during 30 seconds Emergency battery warning: batteries are almost
completely empty. Replace the batteries in the SI-Locking Cylinder
immediately.
Once Warning Level 2 has been emitted for the first time, the cylinder
can be opened a maximum of 50 more times.
After reaching this number of opening operations or after about 4
weeks, the SI-Locking Cylinder automatically switches to freeze mode.
Once at this warning level, SmartHandle can now only be activated
