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