Following we have listed the things which you have to care for the first use: The StromPi 2 expansion board is the new development of the popular company Joy-IT Power-Solution.
Page 3
Intended Usage: Expansion card for connecting a compatible one-circuit-board computer (like Raspberry Pi) with a 6V-61V power source Warning: Under heavy load, the Strompi 2 can get really hot. To secure against burnings, please don't touch the circuit board while the Strompi 2 is active and enable a good air supply that the device can't overheat.

Operation modes The StromPI 2 provides two operation modes, the UPS and the Wide mode which we listed below. UPS mode The UPS Mode is the Battery-friendly Mode: During standby only 20µA – 80µA will be used from the wide range voltage source. Because of the low power consumption during standby, the maintenance cycle of possible batteries is really high.

Wide mode While in the "WIDE"-mode, the StromPi can be started and used with the stan- dard micro-USB port or with the WIDE-range voltage input, which is for energy sources with 6V-61V. This function will be used at vehicles (like cars, trucks, ships), or at mobile usage with batteries.

High-Power-USB One of the big disadvantages of the Raspberry PI is that its UBS connections can't give up high performances. You can't use USB-disk drives, for media centre oder NAS-applications for example, with that. With the StromPi 2 you have the optional choice to extend the Raspberry Pi with a high-power-USB port and gives the Raspberry Pi USB-ports a higher current output.

If the StromPi switches into the battery mode, it can, with help of our software, send you an e-mail or safely shutdown, to provide your recorded data from being lost. You will find the software at our download area from our website www.joy-it.net...

Reset-Circuit One of the expansions compared to an older version is that the StromPi 2 has an onboard reset-circuit. This restarts your Raspberry-Pi automatically if the main power supply is active again. This is a big help at the UPS-mode. If you want to switch between the power sources often (battery ->...

Raspberry PI 3 If you want to use the reset function at the Raspberry Pi 3, you first have to pull the isolation from the reset pin which is for the Raspberry Pi 3. You can ignore the Raspberry Pi 2 reset pin because it don't touch any other components here.

WIDE-range voltage input Connect the marked port with any power supply like power adapter or batteries for example. The voltage range of it has to be between 6V-61V - please take care of the polarity to secure the Rasp- berry Pi and the StromPi from dama- Alternatively you can run the StromPi with the micro USB connection of the front site of it.
