Insufficient Power
If either the internal batteries or the external power input
voltage are below minimum operating parameters (if the
GSR2600 experiences drained batteries or power failure) the
GSR2600 will turn off and become inactive.
If this happens, the GSR2600 will not turn on until you connect
it to a healthy power supply, and then press the receiver’s
power button.
Note:
If you were logging data during the power
interruption, see Section 3.3.1, Data card, Page 12 for
information on data loss.

Operation Overview
The following explains how the GSR2600 operates using the
data collector and schedules. For more information on
collecting data and using schedules, see Chapter 7, Collecting
Data
.
1.
Apply power to the GSR2600 (connect it to a battery pack or
an external power supply). Once the GSR2600 is connected
to a proper power supply, it is ready to use.
2.
Turn the system on by pressing the power button. The
GSR2600 will acquire GPS time and then automatically start
collecting data based on commands in the POWERUP
configuration (See Section 7.2.2, Using the POWERUP
configuration, Page 84).
CAUTION
The GSR2600 may also become inactive if the external power input is greater
than the power specified. See Section 1.6, GSR2600 Usage Cautions, on Page 6
for more information.
