5.5 Charging the Battery


The unit has two modes of charging:
FW controlled: The Nano FW defines when to start and stop charging. It charges the
battery to a certain hardcoded high-level charge point (e.g. 90%) and then allows the
battery be consumed to the level of a hardcoded low-level charge point (e.g. 75%)
before another charge cycle is started. In this way, the battery oscillates between
90% and 75% forever. To edit this mode, set the Charging Stop upon Battery Full
detection parameter to "Stop charging". This mode of operation is more suitable for
constantly powered systems and it maintains the battery’s health better in the long
run.
HW controlled: The charger chip decides when the battery has reached full charge
(100%) and then stops charging it. Indication on the left LED turns then from orange
to green. This operation is restarted every 5 hours. To edit this mode, set the
Charging Stop upon Battery Full detection parameter to "Keep charging". This mode is
more suitable for systems that get charged from time to time, but the system is not
powered constantly.
Charging the battery is done at two different speeds:
The slow speed is used when the Nano device recognizes the source as "weak", such
as USB 1.0 PC ports, weak AC-adaptors or weak car-adaptors. The charging current in
this case is ~100mA, so a complete charge can sometimes take more than 10 hours.
The faster speed is automatically chosen when the source is recognized to be able to
supply enough current. The charging current in this case is ~330mA so a complete
charge will take less than 5 hours.

duration configured in the SR-RF Pairing time window parameter. If any MultiSense
devices currently unknown to the Nano are powered on (meaning battery insertion) in
the vicinity, it will be paired with the Nano during this window.
If successfully paired, a long beep (2 seconds) will be heard from the Nano buzzer.
During the pairing window, if any paired MultiSense device is turned OFF by pressing
its button (when in ON mode) for longer than 5 seconds, it will be “unpaired”.
The pairing window is prolonged after each successful pairing or unpairing operation.
When the window closes, the unit will either blink its right LED red shortly if nothing
has been paired or unpaired, or reset itself if some MultiSense units have been paired
or unpaired.

GPS signal.
