MODEL 8800-2-4B ADD-ON MODULE

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Model 8800-2-4B (Ethernet compatibility) is an add-on module for the mesh
supervisor to allow the end user to easily add remote communications and data
download functionality.
Each module comprises a weather proof enclosure 305 x 254 x 152 mm (12" x
10" × 6") in size, a 7 amp hour rechargeable battery, a charger, and the
necessary cables to interface with a GeoNet supervisor.
When an add-on module is paired with a mesh supervisor, the supervisor is
powered by the rechargeable battery inside the module. The charge level of the
battery can be monitored using the Agent software.

5.2 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

Modules are shipped with the batteries uninstalled and the fuse distribution
board switch in the OFF position. To deploy modules, install the batteries and set
the switch to the ON position.

appropriate setting to ensure communication between the supervisor and the
nodes will not be interrupted if the battery level drops. See Section 3.2.1.
