3.2.1 External Power and Internal Battery
The receiver can be powered by its internal battery or by an
external power source connected to Receiver Lemo Port. If an
external power source is connected to Port, it is used in preference
to the internal battery. When there is no external power source
connected, or if the external power supply fails, the internal battery
is used.
External Power
There are two methods to provide the external power to the
receiver by the HuaCe GPS to PC cable. The HuaCe GPS to PC
cable has one Power port.
In the office, the Power Adapter is connecting with AC
power of 100-240V, the output port of the Power Adapter
connects with the Power Port of the GPS to PC cable, shown
as Figure3.2-1.
In the field, the external power cable is connecting with the
Car battery, the output port of the external power cable
connects with the Power Port of the GPS to PC cable, shown
as Figure3.2-2.
Internal Battery
These receivers use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Make sure
the battery is fully charged for each HuaCe X90 being used in the
field.
Figure3.2-1
Figure3.2-2
Preparation
X90 GNSS – 1.01 Rev A – September 2010 9
3.2.2 Charging the Battery
The receiver is supplied with two rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries,
and a dual battery charger for each RTK kit. The two batteries
charge sequentially and take approximately three hours each to be
fully charged.
The battery charger comes with a separate universal AC Power
Adapter with a 1.5 meter output cable. Follow the instructions
below to operate the charger.
Connect the two parts of the Power Adapter and the Power
Adapter output with the Battery Charger. The red LED on
the Battery Charger is on, which means the whole
charger system is ready.
Put battery on the battery charger in right orientation (the
battery terminals should come into contact with the two
sets of connectors on the charger). When the battery is
placed in the right place, the Green/Yellow LED will start to
flash or turn on.
There are three LED on the Battery Charger, shown as C.
The middle red LED means the power condition of the
Charger. The other Green and Yellow LED represent the
working condition of two charger slot respectively. When
the Green/Yellow LED is flashing, it means the battery is on
charging, and the slower tells the less battery is going to be
charged in, in other words, when a full charged battery put
on the battery slot, the Green/Yellow LED will be turn on
and no flashing.
3.2.3 The Battery Usage and Disposing Notices
The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged.
The following recommendations provide optimal performance and
extend the life of your batteries:
Fully charge all new batteries prior to use.
Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 V.
Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use.
Batteries may be kept on charge indefinitely without
damage t the receiver or batteries.
Do not store batteries in the receiver or external charger
unless power is applied.
