LineIQ
Charging Status
In order to monitor the charge status of a LineIQ, it is necessary to use a LocalLink and
LineMan (LineIQ) software to communicate with the LineIQ.
There must be sufficient charge in the LineIQ battery to allow the LineIQ to be turned on.
1. Turn on the LineIQ.
2. Verify that the LineIQ is operating by checking the amber status LED on the bottom of
the LineIQ.
If the LineIQ has not been commissioned, the red LED will flash at one second
intervals.
If the LineIQ has been commissioned, the amber LED will flash 3 times every
30 seconds.
Refer to the LineIQ User Manual for more information.
3. Connect the LocalLink to your PC, and then start LineMan (LineIQ).
4. Connect to the LineIQ. LineMan will show all available LineIQ
devices in the “
LineIQ
ID List
”.
5. Select a LineIQ which is being charged.
6.
Click on the “Status” button. LineMan will display the LineIQ status, as shown in
“

7. For a fully charged LineIQ battery, the battery voltage will be in excess of 2.3 V.
8. The Charge Current indicated in the Status display is the instantaneous charge
current.
9. While the LineIQ battery is charging, the charge current will be between 0 mA and 400
mA.
0 mA indicates that no energy is being transferred to battery. This could be
because the battery is fully charged, or because the LineIQ Charger is
disconnected.
A charge current between 0 mA and 400 mA indicates that the LineIQ battery is
being charged.
