Monitoring Station SV 279 PRO
23
3.3. Modes of station operation
Operational mode
In the Operational mode, the SVAN 979, controller and 3G modem are switched on
and communication between all modules is functioning correctly.
Data transmission is presented by the blinking lights of
SVAN
and
3G
LEDs on the
controller panel. A transmission error is indicated by the red colour of the
3G
LED.
In the operational mode, the following modules are powered continuously: SVAN 979
instrument, controller, 3G modem and outdoor microphone (optionally also the SP 274
meteo module). The power supply for these modules can be switched off only by
turning off the SVAN 979 instrument.
When the station case is open all LED diodes of the controller shine, informing about
the station condition. The SVAN 979 display is switched on permanently regardless of
the instrument’s settings.
When the station case is closed all LED diodes of the controller are off and the
SVAN 979 display is also off in order to save energy.
Battery charging mode
When the SVAN 979 is switched off but there is a power supply (voltage from SP 270
or current from solar panel) only
DC
,
CHARGING
and
BAT 1
LEDs of the controller
will be active if the lid is open and these show:
•
connection of AC/DC converter indicated by green
DC
LED,
•
charging of the internal battery indicated by green
CHARGING
LED,
•
status of the internal battery charging indicated by green-orange-red
BAT 1
LED
(green if loaded > 50%; orange if loaded 20-50%; red if loaded <20%).
If the lid is closed all LEDs will be off but charging will continue.
Bootstrap mode
The bootstrap allows upgrades of the internal firmware of the controller.
There are two ways t
o activate “bootstrap mode”:
•
by removing the controller from the monitoring station and connecting it to the
PC through the USB or
•
by connecting the controller to the PC via USB while SVAN 979 is off (all LEDs
should be turned off).
Activation of bootstrap mode is indicated by a green
BAT 1
LED on the controller
panel.
Note: USB connection between controller and PC can be established only if
USB driver for SVANTEK instruments had been previously installed on the
PC. USB driver can be downloaded from
