4. Modify the wiring according to Table 42 on page 222.
5. Connect the signal cable to the modified connector.
Charging of Internal Battery
The data logger has an internal battery charger circuitry that has a
programmable charging voltage of 4.5 to 9.9 V and four selectable
current limits: 100 mA, 300 mA, 500 mA, and 700 mA. The MAWS
charger is capable of handling 6 V lead batteries from 1.2 Ah up to
2.6 Ah.
Charging voltage and charger input voltage (+ExtDC) can be measured
with 1 % accuracy and charging current can be measured with 5 %
accuracy. The charger is protected against reverse input voltage and
temperature. In addition, it has internal reverse current blocking to
facilitate using solar cells without a blocking diode.
Power Supply and Battery Types
Battery Sensing
When the logger first starts or resets, it tries to sense the battery type that
is connected to its internal battery connector (4-pin header connector at
PCB near POWER connector). This connector has two sense pins that
