The rechargeable Alkaline batteries in the solar sensors are not
replaceable. High-efficiency modern solar panel maintains full charge
with minimal light.
(1) NORMAL MODE:
Battery voltage is 2.5V or greater.
•
Transmits temperature data every 8 seconds.
•
Checks the brightness level of the surrounding environment every
•
5 seconds.
Transmits every 16 seconds if it detects a dark environment or if
•
the battery voltage drops below 2.5V.
(2) IDLE MODE:
Battery voltage drops below 2.4V; the LCD turns off and it does
•
not transmit data.
Checks the brightness level of the surrounding environment every
•
5 seconds.
If battery voltage rises back to 2.5V or above, it returns to
•
NORMAL MODE.
If the environment remains dark for 72 hours, it enters STOP
•
MODE.
(3) STOP MODE:
Environment remains dark for 72 hours OR if you manually enter
•
STOP MODE by covering the solar cell for 10 seconds and then
press the RESET button once.
Note: The LCD will display "StP" then turn off and commence
STOP MODE.
STOP MODE: the LCD is off and the Sensor does not perform any
•
normal operations.
To resume normal operation, charge the Sensor in a bright
•
environment (next to a 60W light bulb or similar condition) for 24
hours to charge.
Press the RESET button to return to NORMAL MODE (battery
•
voltage is higher than 2.5V).
Do not mix old and new batteries
•
Do not mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium, or Rechargeable Batteries
•
Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery suitable for
•
the intended use.
Replace all batteries of a set at the same time.
•
Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to
•
battery installation.
