Before starting to use the weather station, and also when the '''battery is low''', it must be '''fully charged.''' The battery installed in the weather station is charged from '''three power sources:''' | |||
− ''' | − '''sola'''r battery; | ||
− | − via a '''USB connector''' from an external power source; | ||
− | − via an '''8-25 VDC''' connector on the weather station from an external power source. | ||
''' | '''The solar panel''' is an alternative power source that allows the weather station to operate in stand-alone mode. The '''USB and 12 V external power''' connectors are designed to efficiently charge the weather station's built-in rechargeable battery. To do this, it must be connected to a '''PC USB por'''t or a '''12 V DC''' power source. | ||
It takes '''up to 12 hours''' to fully charge the rechargeable batteries from a '''DC power source'''. When the battery is completely discharged, the charging mode can take '''more than 20 hours.''' When charging the station via '''USB,''' charging is very slow '''(from 12 hours),''' and when the battery is '''deeply discharged,''' the charging period can take '''about a day.''' Therefore, the best way to charge is from an '''external power source.''' | |||
The battery charge level can be checked either in the '''SokolCFG configurator''' in the '''Status tab''', in the '''Sokol mobile app''', or on the [[Natlogger]] server '''(Upow field)'''. The battery is considered '''fully charged''' when its voltage is approximately '''4.15±0.05''' V. The battery is considered discharged when its voltage is less than '''3.5 V.''' | |||
'''<u> | '''<u>Please note: if the station is connected to an external power source but the key is not turned to the ON position (i.e., the device's internal battery is not turned on), the station will not be charged.</u>''' | ||
'''<u> | '''<u>To restart or turn off the station, do the following:</u>''' | ||
'''1)''' | '''1)''' Disconnect '''external power''' sources. | ||
'''2)''' | '''2)''' Turn the key to the '''OFF''' position '''(if restarting is not necessary, skip step 3).''' | ||
'''3)''' | '''3)''' Turn the key from the '''OFF''' position to the '''ON''' position, then back to the '''OFF''' position, and then to the '''ON''' position again. | ||
