NOTE:
Actual Configuration may vary
3.3.1 Power
The GridRouter power board is available in either an AC or DC configuration. For the AC configuration
the power plug should be connected to a 120VAC supply. The DC configuration should be connected to a
9-30VDC supply capable of at least 20 watts. The power switch is ON when pushed to the left, OFF when
pushed to the right. When first powered up the status LED will be solid orange for roughly 60 seconds
before it starts to blink. While the status LED is blinking orange during low-level boot up, holding down the
reset button for 6 seconds will result in a factory reset. The status LED will alternate between green and
red to designate this event. While the status LED is blinking green during normal operation, holding down
the reset button will turn the status LED red and result in a clean reboot of the GridRouter if held for more
than 6 seconds.
To cleanly power off the GridRouter, the reset button should be held until the status LED stops blinking.
Directly after the status LED turns solid orange again, the device should be powered off.
Failure to cleanly power off the GridRouter can result in data loss and possible corruption on the
system.
