Wireless Power Transmission
To begin testing wireless power, first confirm that the System Status “Charger” toggle
switch in the upper right corner is in the default “On” position and the “Transmitter”
toggle switch is in the default “Off” position.
Next, turn the Transmitter on by clicking the Transmitter
toggle switch. If there is an Onboard Charger ready to
accept power, and it is within range of the transmit coil, the
system will now enter its charging sequence. In a few
seconds, charging will begin and the graphical indicators on the center of the screen will
show active charging.
Once wireless power transmission begins, the system will stop only if the Transmitter
toggle is clicked again to turn it off, if the battery is fully charged, or if a shutdown event
occurs. (See the “Power Down Events” section for details). WiBotic recommends
disconnecting power to both the Transmitter and Onboard Charger when not in use for
extended periods of time.
The table below enumerates the transmitter and/or charger status indicators that will
appear in the upper right portion of the GUI as the system is operating.
