Charging the Sensor with the Dock

Connect a sensor to one of the 4 charging connectors of the Dock to display its level of charge.

Before you begin

  • Make sure the Dock is connected to a power supply and turned on.

About this task

Warning: In case of water ingress in the product, do not charge it: battery may vent or rupture, causing product or physical damage.
Note: For Dock products with serial number before DOC2400000: Do not leave the sensors connected on a charger that is switched off. If the charger is not connected to the mains voltage, the sensor switches on and this will drain the battery.
Note: Avoid full discharges and charge the battery whenever possible, at any battery level. Lithium-ion batteries do not have a charge memory, so they do not need full discharge cycles.

Procedure

  1. Before charging the sensor: wash with fresh water and dry the sensor. This prevent corrosion of the charging pins.
    Important: Check that the charging pins are not damaged. If they are, contact you local Marport dealer for replacement.
  2. Connect the charger plug to one of the 4 charging ports.
  3. Connect the 3-pin charging connector to the sensor charging pins.

Results

The Dock screen and Virtual Charger Room display the state of charge of the sensor.
