Page 4: Battery Installation/Replacement
Battery Installation / Replacement The OAQ-SPS requires 4 x Lithium-ion (Li-ion) 18650 batteries. No other batteries are approved for use in the device. Ensure that the four on-board AA Lithium batteries are permanently removed prior to installation. Lithium-ion batteries have very high energy capacity and must be used and handled with care observing the guid- ance below. - Page 5 Ensure that all four of the standard OAQ AA sized lithium batteries are removed and left off the OAQ. 18650 batteries are often supplied as “flat top” as opposed to the traditional button top for the positive. It is critically important that the batteries are inserted the correct way around. The batteries have a small indent around the positive terminal as shown below.
- Page 6 Linking the OAQ-SPS to the OAQ There are two ways to connect the OAQ-SPS to the OAQ depending on the version of the OAQ. OAQ units are either fitted with on-board battery holders or with an external battery connector. Follow the instructions below in either section 2.1 or 2.2 depending on which version of the OAQ that you have.
- Page 7 Link the two parts of the power cable by pushing the connector together and gently tighten the locking ring to secure the connector in place. Move the power switch to the BATT position. You should see the LED’s start to flash on the OAQ next to the USB connector as the unit powers up and joins the LoRa network.
- Page 8 Place the USB Connector carrier over the USB as shown above and insert the screw removed in the previous step Note that the USB carrier is designed to allow a normal USB cable to be used without removing the carrier. Drill out the cable entry knockout on the OAQ as shown below with a 5 - 5.5mm drill.
- Page 9 Wire is directly inserted and pushes open low-insertion force gate-style terminal, which “traps” wire in place Wire strip length is 5mm. Power Wire Insertion Gently pull on the cable to ensure that that it is correctly inserted. Ensure that no uninsulated cable is showing. To release the cable, gently press down on the button lever, as shown below and the cable will release freely.
- Page 10 Plug the USB PCB into the OAQ USB socket as shown above. Insert the provided screw through the PCB and into the carrier to secure it. The OAQ power switch should be left in the EXT position. Link the two parts of the cable by pushing the connector together and gently tighten the locking ring to secure the connector in place.
