Connecting the Battery Pack
The cable of the battery pack is connected as shown in the picture below.
Do not invert the polarity of the connector (see picture and description on the
printed circuit board).
For configuring the GPRS Receiver Battery it is not necessary to connect the battery
pack, since it is also supplied by the USB interface.
Installation
Usually, the GPRS Receiver Battery is at first configured using its USB interface.
That is, all relevant configurations like the SIM card parameters, the FTP server and
the radio reception parameters are set. Additionally, the SIM card is inserted.
After that the GPRS Receiver Battery is transported to the point of installation;
without battery pack connected. On site the battery is connected and the case is
closed.
By closing the device case please be aware that the screws should at first only
be loosely and crosswise screwed to not twist the enclosure. After that the
screws should be tightened carefully with low torque. The protection rating
IP67 of the enclosure is only valid if the screws are tightened correctly.
It is also important to not damage the screws by using a too high torque or by
using inadequate tools.
The battery cable should not be squeezed between the two enclosure parts.
For best radio reception the GPRS Receiver Battery should be placed as close as
possible to the resource meters to receive. There should not be any conducting or
metal device at 5 cm (even better 10 cm) around the GPRS Receiver Battery. This
may disturb the radio reception. The GPRS Receiver Battery should not be placed
close to devices causing electromagnetic interference, like radios, television sets,
audio equipments, cell phones etc.
