7.2.2 Internal battery option
7.2.2.1 Presentation of internal battery option
The battery is fixed inside the GenLoc 41e. It is connected to an additional charging circuit cabled on the
mother board of the GenLoc 41e.
This battery allows to maintain the GenLoc 41e functioning in case of absence of its external power supply
(power supply connected on the Micro-FIT 4-pin female connector).
The internal charging circuit allows to keep permanently the charge of the battery from the external power
supply.
When the battery is completely discharged, 3 hours are necessary to obtain a new complete charge.
It is
normal if the box heats a little bit in this case.
The autonomy of the battery essentially depends on the mode of use of the GenLoc 41e (attachment in
GSM/GPRS, Inputs/Outputs, GPS power supply, RS232 connected...).
The internal battery option is not cabled by default and its assembly must be made by us in
our factory (contact us). The option is identified by a label (see §
If the battery option is present, prepare the modem for storage or transport phases in order to
limit high discharges of the battery. For that, see the §
7.2.2.2 Specifications of the internal battery option
The external power supply of the GenLoc 41e is from +7,2V to 32V DC. The internal regulator of charge
supplies the 4.2V voltage necessary for the battery charge.
