 Lock/unlock the battery: note that when the battery is unlocked
(default) it blinks green, while when locked it blinks red.
 Connect to another Wi-Fi network. All networks that are requested to
connect to, will populate the list of the preferred networks that the
battery searches at startup.
 Change the battery nickname shown, to simplify the display of the list
of batteries in the field
 Upload a newer firmware to the Wi-Fi module, when available
 Define the rental counters
This activity is shown by the topmost blinking LED:
 if the LED is green, the battery is unlocked and can discharge
(default mode)
 it the LED is red, the battery is locked and cannot discharge,
meaning that the user has protected it or that a rental timer is
expired.
Rental Mode management
The GRANITE Link system allows rental houses to pre-program timers in
each battery, so that when at least one of them expires, the battery stops
releasing power while remaining chargeable.
Two timers are available and can be set individually or both:
 Rental timer: number of rental days, not depending on the usage of
the battery. The battery starts counting immediately when the timer is
set and when the counters expire it stops.
 Rental usage timer: amount of pre-programmed working hours. The
battery counts only when the battery is releasing power, and not in
stand-by or charge. When the counters expire it stops.
These timers, once generated and sent to the battery are protected and
cannot be halted even if the module is switched off. They can eventually
be extended (even remotely through the App), if a customer needs to.
These timers are amongst the information broadcasted by the battery and
so the user is always notified.
Rental houses can manage this system through a web-based application
where they can subscribe for free. The web-application generates the
special action codes to set or extend timers on each different battery.
Individually, action codes must be generated and programmed in each
battery. The web application helps in this task, also allowing to send the
codes generated to customers by SMS,so that they can copy and upload
to batteries through their smartphone and/or tablet.
For faster operation with a large fleet of batteries, we offer GRANITE Link
Web Hub, a smart device that connects as a client to the local network
and acts as a gateway to all the GRANITE TWO batteries in proximity,
allowing faster and massive operations through the web App.
