Technical Manual 1.05, C600 Professional
Page 20 of 24
Internal Li-Ion battery
The C600 Professional contains an internal Li-Ion battery for operation even during an
external power fail. Making it possible to report power loses etc. Please note that when
external power is removed the unit will by default be powered down. This setting can be
changed though and is documented in the M2M Control IDE online manual. The digital
outputs are also disabled when a power fail occur, due to that the power supplies both the
digital outputs and C600 unit itself.
The battery charging is completely automated and handled internally by the C600 unit –
leaving no need for user interaction. Different kinds of functions (Battery Low, Charger
Enable, Charging status etc) are available for the user though. Please consult the M2M
Control IDE online manual for more information.
The charge current is very high, for shorter charge time, as specified in the technical
specifications; Make sure both power supply and cables can handle the high current.
The battery will be charged whenever a power fail has occurred to establish the capacity
making the battery ready for the next power fail. A maintenance charge will start every
100-hour after the last charge. This is to compensate for the battery self-discharge etc.
As standard the battery cannot be charged above 45°C or below 0°C. The C600 unit will
automatically detect the temperature and terminate the charge process if the temperature
is out of this range.
Low temperature charging is available as an option. Please consult M2M Control for
further information.
The temperature has very high influence on the battery capacity. At 0°C the capacity has
dropped to 60% of the initial capacity and it falls dramatically at lower temperatures.
The battery cycle (numbers of charges and discharges) has also influence on the capacity.
After 300 cycles the capacity has dropped to approximately 80% of the initial capacity.
Vibration Sensor
The C600 Professional unit contains a vibration sensor. It makes it possible through the
power management to detect vibrations when for example the vehicle is moved. The
sensitivity can be altered from within the VPL program - making it suitable for various
applications. Please consult the M2M Control IDE online manual for more information.
