Table: Power consumption
Recommended mode of operations:
-
Stationary beacons are powered from a clean source of +5V USB
-
Mobile beacon is powered from a clean source of +5V USB from a robot
-
Operations based on purely own installed batteries is also supported and possible
-
For fully autonomous and easy use and testing, each beacon has its own power LiPol
battery
-
Typical power consumption in deep sleep mode is 50uA that gives ~2y shelf time with a
regular 1000mAh battery. Beacon can be woken up from deep sleep only by pressing HW
reset button
-
In regular sleeping mode the beacons wake up automatically every 2 seconds. That brings
some additional consumption, but still leaves several months in sleep mode
-
Active mode work time directly depends on the location update rate. For example:
•
With the standard 1000mAh battery and 16Hz update rate, the expected work time will
be 97h => 8 days (assuming 12h working day)
•
With the extended 4300mAh battery and 1Hz location update rate the expected work
time will be ~5800h or 484 days (assuming 12h working day)
