Power management
Power
•
Use the drop-down list box Power/
Mode
to select the desired power source for the
receiver:
Auto
– receiver will automatically select the power source
Mix
– receiver will automatically detect and start consuming power from the source
with the highest voltage
Battery A
– receiver will consume power from battery A
Battery B
– receiver will consume power from battery B
External
– an external power supply will be used.
This setting is associated with the receiver parameter
/par/pwr/mode
.
•
The indicator
Current Mode
shows what power source is being used at the mo-
ment. This setting is associated with the receiver parameter
/par/pwr/curmode
.
Charger
•
Use the drop-down list box Charger/
Mode
to select the battery charging mode:
Off
– receiver will not charge the batteries
Charge A
– receiver will charge only battery A
Charge B
– receiver will charge only battery B
Auto
– receiver will automatically detect and charge the detected batteries.
This setting is associated with the receiver parameter
/par/pwr/charge/bat
.
•
Use the
Speed
list box to set the desired speed of battery charge cycle. You can se-
lect between Normal and Fast dc levels. The corresponding receiver parameter is
/par/pwr/charge/speed
.
•
The flag
Current Mode
shows which of the batteries,
a
,
b
or none (
off
) is being
charged at the moment. The corresponding receiver parameter is
/par/pwr/charge/curbat
.
Voltages
•
The indicator
External
shows the external power supply’s voltage. The correspond-
ing receiver parameter is
/par/pwr/ext
.
•
The indicator
On Board
shows what is the actual voltage drawn by the receiver
board. The corresponding receiver parameter is
/par/pwr/board
.
•
The indicators
Battery A
and
Battery B
show the voltage on batteries A and B,
respectively. The corresponding receiver parameters are
/par/pwr/bat/a
and
/par/pwr/bat/b
.
•
The indicator
Charger
shows the charger’s output voltage during battery charging.
The corresponding receiver parameter is
/par/pwr/charger
.
