Auxiliary Battery Unit
An auxiliary battery unit containing 6 C-size alkaline cells is available to
supply additional power to digital sensors with heavy current demands. When
selecting this kind of sensor for a logger (through the Logger Setup and the
Digital tab options
– refer to the PrimeLog Menu section of the ADS
PrimeWorks User Manual), the user receives notification through a warning
message of the requirement to use the battery unit. This fully-encapsulated
disposable pack meets IP68 standards and connects to the logger through the
Comms connector.
Due to the method of connection, connect the auxiliary battery pack to the
logger after programming and temporarily disconnect the pack when
communicating with the logger. This will prevent the logger from recording
data from the digital sensor while disconnected.
The system can monitor all battery voltages continually and generate alarms if
any voltage falls below the preset threshold. Refer to the Battery Warning
Setup section of the ADS PrimeWorks User Manual for more information.
Auxiliary Battery/Communications Adaptor
If logging must continue throughout communication activities, an adaptor is
available for providing a constant connection for the battery pack while
providing simultaneous access to the Comms connector.
