The power button changes from constant illumination to flashing when the battery voltage drops below 13.6 Vdc.
Press the ‘Ext. Power Source’ power button again to toggle the power OFF.
The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box shuts down automatically when the external battery voltage drops below 10.8 Vdc.
However, if a scan is in progress and the voltage drops below 11.2 Vdc, then Cavity Profiler – VS software carries
out a controlled termination of the ongoing scan. In this case the Cavity Profiler – VS project is automatically saved,
along with the terminated scan. See the Cavity Profiler – VS software and operations manual for details.
While the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box is being powered from an external source, the internal battery can be left charging.
In this case the ‘Int. Power Source’ power button must be toggled OFF: i.e., not illuminated.
One of the fuses held on the internal panel is dedicated to the external battery circuit. The fuse holder is labelled
‘Fuse (Ext)’. The fuse holder carries a 3.15 A time-delay fuse: T3.15 AH 250 V.
5.3 Hot swapping power sources
The Void Scanner Wi-Fi box has two power options: the internal battery and an optional external battery. Either or
both power sources can be used to power the system. During scanning operations it is also possible to ‘hot swap’
between these sources so that one battery can be on charge while the other is in use. Alternatively, both power
sources can be left powered ON to ensure the maximum scanning time is available.
5.3.1 Example 1
For example, if a scan is in progress and the internal battery voltage is low, the power source can be swapped to
an external source to ensure that the scan is not interrupted by a power failure.
This can be done while the scan is ongoing and powered from the internal battery. Connect a charged, external
battery to the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box and depress the ‘Ext. Power Source’ battery power button, ensuring that it is
illuminated. Power is now drawn from the external power source, assuming that it has a higher voltage than the
internal battery.
Once the external battery is powering the unit, two options are available:
