8) The GPSCOM will automatically begin charging its internal battery, and will indicate the charge status
by turning on the appropriate color LED as follows:
Green = 100% capacity (charge complete)
Orange = less than 99% capacity
Red = less than 10% capacity
9) When charging is complete, the Green LED will turn on and the external power adapter may be
disconnected.
3.2. SUPERVISOR/REPEATER MODULE
3.2.1. Normal Power On/Off Sequence
The following procedure outlines the normal operating sequence of the Supervisor/Repeater module.
1) For a Supervisor-PC or Repeater-PC, connect the Supervisor/Repeater module to the host computer
USB port using the supplied data communication cable. Note that a Secondary-Repeater or Supervisor
is operated as a standalone module, and would not be connected to a PC.
2) Switch on the Supervisor/Repeater module by pressing and briefly holding the power button until all
four status LEDs turn on.
3) If external power is connected to the module, the Blue status LED will turn on briefly and the
Supervisor/Repeater module will indicate its charging status by turning on the appropriate color LED as
follows:
4) Green = 100% capacity (charge complete)
Orange = less than 99% capacity
Red = less than 10% capacity
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
5) 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.
6) 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.)
7) 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.
8) 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.
