6. Battery warnings
Each half cylinder has a battery management system that indicates declining battery
power in good time. This helps prevent the batteries from becoming completely discharged.
The battery warning levels are described in the following.
6.1 Half cylinder
Warning level 1: weak batteries
When a half cylinder's batteries are running low it will emit eight short signal
tones in rapid succession when operated by a transponder before the cylinder
engages. The batteries should be replaced without delay. Around 15,000
opening or 9 months use of the half cylinder remain after battery warning 1
has been triggered.
Warning level 2: extremely weak batteries
If the batteries are allowed to discharge even further, subsequent transponder
operation will induce a succession of short signal tones lasting approximately
30 seconds before the cylinder engages. The cylinder will not engage until after
the acoustic signal has ended. The batteries are now virtually completely
discharged. It is imperative they are replaced as soon as possible.
Emergency battery - warehouse mode:
A half cylinder that has indicated battery warning level 2 will remain active for
approximately another 50 operations, or it will shut down completely after approximately
30 days if not used. In both cases the half cylinder will revert back
to the so-called emergency battery - warehouse mode. The half cylinder can
now only engage with the help of a programming device (see chapter 6.1.3).
Batteries can be changed at any time when the half cylinder is in emergency
battery - warehouse mode.
