Figure 4.5 Solar Power Supply Connections
Once you have installed solar power to the 6200 DCP, connect the battery leads as described in
Section 4.3. The field station should beep for about 5 seconds during boot up. Your system is now
solar power-connected for continuous charging of the battery when environmental light is present.
If the solar panel fails for any reason, the battery will provide power for a few days or weeks,
depending on the state of the charge when solar power failed, the number of sensors and the
frequency of data logging.
