Charging PiCUS TMS 3
The PiCUS TMS 3 are charged wireless in the charge bays of the TMS-case.
The charger electronic detects sensors placed in the charge bays and automatically chooses the optimal
charging regime.
For charging the sensors proceed as follows:
1. Connect the TMS-case to the power supply.
2. Put a PiCUS TMS 3 into a charge bay.
3. The charge LED starts blinking green.
4. If the charge LED constantly shines green the PiCUS TMS 3 is fully charged.
ATTENTION!
The red error LED signals that the PiCUS TMS 3 is not being charged.
The cause for this is that the PiCUS TMS 3 is either too cold or too hot. When this error occurs the
PiCUS TMS 3 can remain in its charge bay. The charging automatically starts once the temperatures
have equalized.
If this state persists for an extended period of time (1h), the temperature of the PiCUS TMS 3 can be
checked as follows:
1. In the TMS 3 App navigate to
SENSOR INFORMATION
(see
4.4.3 Querying sensor
information
)
2. Check the battery temperature (see
10 Technical data
)
Battery care
Due to the casting, the battery of the PiCUS TMS 3 cannot be changed.
Wrong handling may damage the battery and will shorten its life span.
To get the most out of the battery’s life span, special care should be taken when handling the PiCUS
TMS 3.
The following instructions should be followed:
-
Never store PiCUS TMS 3 in a discharged state!
-
If stored for an extended period of time (e.g. during summer, when no wind events occur)
it is recommended to charge the PiCUS TMS 3 to their storage level (approx. 60% charged,
see TMS 3 Control manual chapter
„
4.6.1.6 Battery Storage Mode“
.
).
If the battery has to be charged, it takes approx. 30 min until the storage level is reached. If on
full charge, the battery has to be discharged. In this case reaching the storage level may take
up to 12 h.
