SUPPORTED BATTERIES
Preferred battery type is rechargeable NiMh. Use a mAh rating as much large as
possible to increase battery life.
Alkaline 1.5V batteries are supported too but, before installing them, it is
necessary to change parameter BATTERY TYPE: see section 6.1.
U
Don’t use batteries with leakages! They can damage the electronic board!
U
Don’t mix battery types: use four batteries of the same type and with same
level of charge.
U
Don’t exceed voltage ratings shown in 2.2.1. Larger voltages will damage
internal circuits. Smaller voltages will prevent console starting.
PLACING BATTERIES
1. With Smart Console turned off, open the battery holder by removing its cover.
Notice that this operation exposes part of the electronic board: do this
operation while in a clean environment!
2. Place the four batteries as indicated by the holder.
3. Close the cover
If the batteries are in place the Smart Console can still operate from external
supplies as described in 3.5.
When an external supply is used the internal dc/dc will isolate the AA batteries so
that they are not discharged.
Batteries can remain inside the battery holder even if they are not used.
U
Remove batteries if they are not going to be used for a lot of time
CONNECTING CABLE
When supplied by internal batteries,
the Smart Console can use either the
serial cable (see 4.3.1) or any available CAN cable (see 4.3.2).
4
The Smart Console ground reference is unrelated to the controller/application
ground unless a physical connection is set up.
4
Ground reference shall always be connected or communication will be difficult
unless connecting cable is very short and there is no disturbance.
4
It is strongly suggested to tighten the lateral screws of the cable to avoid
unexpected disconnections.
