9) 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 in step 3 above.
3.2.2. 3.2.2. Enabling the Program Mode
The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to change the internal firmware of the
Supervisor/Repeater module.
1) Connect the S/R module to the host computer USB port using the supplied data communication cable.
2) Switch on the S/R by pressing and briefly holding the power button until all four “Battery” and “Link”
status LEDs turn on.
3) Press and hold the power button again until the Green status LED blinks rapidly, and the Red “S” or
“R” status LED turns off. This indicates that the S/R is now ready to receive a firmware change through
the computer connected to the serial data connector.
4) When programming is completed, press and briefly hold the power button again until all four “Battery”
and “Link” status LEDs turn on. The S/R module will now return to its normal operating mode, and the
status LEDs will indicate the battery level or charging status along with the present operating mode.
5) 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 module
will be powered off.
3.2.3. Charging the Battery
The following procedure outlines the steps to charge the S/R internal battery. Note that it is possible to
interrupt the charging process at any time by disconnecting the external power adapter, and no damage
to the internal battery will result.
1) Connect the supplied AC/DC power adapter to the S/R, and connect the adapter to a 100-240V
50/60Hz outlet using the appropriate plug.
2) The S/R will automatically begin charging its internal battery, and will indicate the charge status with
the appropriate color LED as follows:
Green = 100% capacity (charge complete)
Orange = less than 99% capacity
Red = less than 10% capacity
3) When charging is complete, the Green LED will turn on and the external power adapter may be
disconnected.
3.2.4. Notes on Communication Operations
Supervisor must not be turned off once communicating with GPSCOMs, otherwise entire network must
be restarted.
Blue status LED must remain on at all times – if LED turns off, indicates communication fault.
If software is closed, Supervisor will continue to communicate with GPSCOM – it is not required to re-
scan and re-start network.
Connection or disconnection of data cable will force reset of S/R microcontroller.
