2.2.4 External rechargeable battery
SB 272
is an external source of DC power for the monitoring
station. It includes a Lead-Acid rechargeable battery (33 Ah, 12 V)
and is dedicated for outdoor use because of its waterproof case.
The battery capacity enables up to three times longer operating
time of the monitoring station.
The SB 272 set includes the SB 273 indoor charger and a cable
for connection between SB 272 and the monitoring station.
SB 272 has the same connector for charging and for power supply and therefore cannot be used as a
power supply for the monitoring station and at the same time be charged (as the internal station battery
when it is charged from the solar panel or external power supply).
Note: SB 272 cannot be charged by the monitoring station SB 270
power supply!
Note: SB 272 is not restricted for air, surface and water transport. Classified as non-hazardous
material (IATA/ICAO Special Provision A67, DOT-CFR Title 49 parts 171-189, IMDG
amendment 27).
Note: It is necessary to charge SB 272 after any total discharge, otherwise the battery may lose
its capacity
.
Note: SB 272 should not be stored for a long time with a discharged battery. Storing SB 272 with
a discharged battery may damage it.
Note: If SB 272 is planned to be stored for a long period of time, it is recommended to charge its
battery to 100% capacity. The battery should be charged at least once per 6 months.
Note: If the storage period is longer than one year, a discharge/charge cycle must be performed.
To do this, completely discharge the battery and then charge it to 100% capacity.
2.2.5 Solar Panel
The
SB 271
solar panel (40 W, 17.5 V DC) extends the working
time of the monitoring station. The size and weight of the panel
enables easy transportation in the dedicated carrying bag.
The SB 271 solar panel does not require additional batteries or
external controllers.
The mounting system enables mounting of the SB 271 solar panel
above the monitoring case which provides a natural shade that
protects the station from overheating.
SB 271 is equipped with a military standard connector cable for
direct connection to the monitoring station.
