5. Battery and start-up sequence
Avolta is powered by a 3.6V primary lithium
thionyl chloride battery pack with a capacity of
11.6Ah. The battery is non-rechargeable and
lasts 10 years.
Battery replacement needs to be performed by a
trained operator only.
At delivery, the battery is inside the product but
disconnected. Just unscrew the transparent
battery cover and plug the battery connector. Put
the cover back in place and tighten the screws to
ensure water tightness.
After first battery installation, the product will
initialize, the LEDs will blink one by one and the
green LED will blink every 3 seconds until the
product is connected to the network. If
connection is successful, the green LED will
blink three times and stop. If it fails, the yellow
LED will blink three times and stop.
The product will then need 6 more minutes to be fully functional. Be sure to keep the
product in a methane-free environment during these 6 first minutes, as the sensor
is initializing.
