Operating on battery
5.5 LED indications invoked by the System::Led driver (0:5)
In some cases, Gateways can be installed out of range e.g. on the ceiling of a warehouse. In order to facilitate
easy recognition of the Gateway or to test the USB/RS232 connectivity, a uniquely LED flashing pattern is
implemented, which can be triggered using the System::Led driver (0:5).
2 minutes
Use Ambient Studio to request/invoke the DDI function (0:5:1) and locate the device with alternately blinking
RED power and network status LEDs. After roughly 2 minutes, the LED indication will display the current
device status again.
6 Powering Options
6.1 Battery
The Gateway can operate for 72 hours on a fully charged battery. It will automatically charge the battery
again, when mains power is restored. If mains power fails before the charge cycle is complete, the Gateway
might operate less than 72 hours on battery. Also, the age of the battery and the number of charge cycles it
has experienced reduce the duration it can operate on battery power.
The duration the Gateway can function on backup battery decreases with battery age and charge/discharge
cycles. It also may take a few charge/discharge cycles for the battery to reach its full capacity
For a longer battery lifetime, the battery should be discharged and charged once per month.
6.2 Battery charging
Once mains power is applied to the Gateway, its internal battery charging circuitry assesses the state of the
battery and automatically begins a charge cycle, if needed. The state of the battery is reflected by LED
indication.
