System Overview
Introduction
The
UPS PIco HV3.0A
is an advanced uninterruptible power supply designed for the for the
Rasp
berry Pi® 3 (but compatible also with the Raspberry Pi 2, and Raspberry Pi Zero)
that
adds a wealth of innovative power back-up functionality and development features to the
innovative micro-computer!
Offers now total
3A
current from the External Power Supply or battery backup,
3
User Keys, 3
User LEDs,
3
different types of high capacity batteries, 2 x
3
pins
bi-stable relay
(Zero Power),
as also
3 x A/D 12 bit
converters with pre adjustable readings to 5V, 10V, 20V and 30V
conversion (when used with
Terminal Blocks PCB
or separate external resistor). Now, with
additional
External Supply Powering Input
; that has implemented
Dynamic Power Tracking
;
automatically adjust battery charging current according to power availability from 100mA
–
1000 mAh, to use all available energy from the Solar Panel in case of use. This feature has
been especially designed to support
Solar Panel Powering
Raspberry Pi® Systems
, as it is
adjusting the charging battery current to available Sunning conditions. The
External Supply
Powering Input
is able to accept power from
7 V DC
up to
28 V DC!!
Thus, make it ideal for
Cars, Trucks, Buses and any industrial applications where voltage is usually higher than 24V
DC. The
External Supply Powering Input
is equipped with Over Current protection, Over
Voltage as also
with Zero Voltage Drop Inverse Polarity Protection
protecting Raspberry Pi
System form improper usage, but due to zero voltage drop to use all available energy from
the Solar Panel in case of use. The New
UPS PIco HV3.0A
is an all-in-one tool that allows
implementing easy and fast simple applications as also complicated projects providing a set
of pre-installed peripherals.
The
UPS PIco HV3.0A
is standard equipped with a 450 mAh 15C LiPO battery specially
designed to enable
safe shutdown
during cabled power cut and
automatic system restart
when cabled power comes back. The included battery provides enough energy to keep
running system for 10-15 minutes in case of absence of the cable power. Additionally, this can
be easily upgraded to the extended
4000mAh
version,
8000 mAh
as also
12000 mAh
batteries
(optional on special request), which enables prolonged use of a Raspberry Pi for
more than
32 hours
without a power supply connected (with biggest battery installed)!
The
UPS PIco HV3.0A
design support now batteries with different chemistry:
LiPO
as also
LiFePO4
.
Especially the
LiFePO4
batteries are addressed to applications where temperatures
environment is more restricted as can be used for supplying from -
10 degrees up to +60
degrees
. In addition, the
LiFePO4
have a unique extremely long life of charging/discharging
that can achieve up to
2000
cycles!!
The implemented trimmed
Hardware Real Time Clock and Calendar
, guarantees time stamp
when system is running without access to the Network. The
Hardware RTCC
is backed up and
powered from the integrated system battery.
The integrated Hardware
RTCC
enables a new extremely usefully feature
–
the
Events
Triggered RTCC Based System Actions Scheduler
. The
Events Triggered RTCC Based System
Actions Scheduler
allows to timely start up, or shutdown the
Raspberry Pi®
on various internal
