Power
The ADS RainAlert II monitor is powered by an internal 7.5-volt
alkaline battery pack (ADS p/n 6000-0004) mounted inside the
enclosure. This battery pack provides the power for operating the
monitor, handling communication, and sustaining the monitor wake-
up circuitry. The monitor measures the battery voltages, and
Profile provides a user-defined setting to ensure the monitor signals
a warning when the available power is low.
Battery voltage is logged during most communication sessions and
available also on demand when performing diagnostics.
The RainAlert II also can be equipped to receive power from an
external source using a simple conversion kit available through
ADS (p/n 6000-0052). The kit includes instructions for completing
the conversion.
