C.I. EXTERNAL POWER
The Receiver uses an external power source in p to its internal battery. If the
Receiver is not connected to an external power source, or if the external
power supply fails, the internal battery is used.
The Receiver’s internal battery charges only when the external voltage is
above 11 V DC. CHC recommends that the applied external power offers
between 12 V DC and 36 V DC and is able to supply at least 4 W of power for
the long-term installations and ensuring that the internal battery is charged
and ready to compensate for power supply disruptions.
While carrying out static measurements for post-processed computations
using the internal memory, if no external power is supplied and the internal
battery is drained, the Receiver shuts down. No data is lost; however, when
power is restored, the Receiver should be configured again.
WARNING – The external AC power adapter and its associated power cord
and plug are not intended to be installed outdoors, nor in a wet location. Do
not power the Receiver through external power when operating in a wet
environment or an environment that may become wet. The power input
connections must be sheltered.
WARNING – When you apply DC voltage to this product through the Lemo
connector, the DC voltage must be limited to 36V DC +0% under both
normal and single fault conditions. This product may present an electrical
hazard if the recommended input voltage is exceeded.
C.II. BATTERY SAFETY
The Receiver is powered by a rechargeable internal Lithium-ion
battery.
Charge and use the battery only in strict accordance with the
following
instructions.
WARNING – Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A
damaged battery can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs of
damage include, but are not limited to, discoloration, warping, and
leaking battery fluid.
Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.
