If no external power is connected, all “Battery” and “Link” status LEDs will turn on briefly, followed by
the battery level indicated by a blinking status LED as follows:
Green: greater than 33% capacity
Orange: less than 33% capacity
Red: less than 10% capacity
• The Supervisor/Repeater module will now also indicate its operating mode before it was last
switched off, by turning on the corresponding Red “S” or “R” status LED next to the “S/R” button.
• To change the mode between Supervisor or Repeater operation, press and momentarily hold the
“S/R” button. All “Battery” and “Link” status LEDs will turn on briefly, then the status LEDs will
indicate the battery level or charging status along with the new operating mode. (Note that when
external power is connected, changing the S/R mode will also reset the module back to Charge
mode and it will be necessary to switch power on again. When switched back on, the S/R module
will be in the newly selected operating mode.)
• The Blue status LED will only turn on after a “Start Network” command has been issued by the
host computer and the S/R module has been successfully linked to the network, either by direct
connection to the host computer or through RF link to another S/R module.
• To switch off the S/R module, press and briefly hold the power button again until all four “Battery”
and “Link” status LEDs turn on. After releasing the button, all status LEDS will be off and the S/R
will be powered off.
• If the external power adapter is connected, the S/R module will automatically enter Charge mode
and the charging status will be indicated by a Red, Orange, or Green status LED according to the
battery capacity as described above.
5.4. DYNAMIC SUPERVISOR/REPEATER MODULE CONNECTIONS
The network allows for removal and insertion of Repeater modules if necessary to extend the
communication range of the system. The sections below describe the response of the system and the
required user interaction for different configurations and events.
5.4.1. Installing or Removing Repeater Modules
In a system utilizing at least one Repeater module (Repeater-PC) and a Supervisor module, the
communication link established between CSP-COM devices and the Supervisor module is not affected
by adding or removing the Repeater-PC or Secondary-Repeater modules. All communication data for
the system is stored in the Supervisor, which will remain linked with the CSP-COM devices. Data flow
from the CSP-COM devices to the host computer will be momentarily interrupted if a Repeater module
is removed, but system operation will restore itself automatically once the communication chain has
been re-established.
