Understanding the Sensor Battery Display Online

Explanation of how the battery life is displayed in the sensor history and the meaning of it.

 

Many of the Ops3A sensor products have multiple power options, for use in different environments.

  • Commercial AA sensors are powered by two AA lithium-ion batteries and provide the user with 3,000 mA hours of energy.
  • Industrial Sensors have the Tadiran battery which is a .36V Lithium battery with 1200 mA hours of energy.
  • The Solar Sensors have a rechargeable 3.2V Lithium Ion Polymer battery and has a capacity of 700mA.

The battery graphic in the Ops3A software solutions is represented by five different images:

  • Above 75% it shows Full
  • Above 50% it shows Three Quarters
  • Above 25% it shows Half
  • Above 10% it shows One Quarter
  • Above 0% it shows red
  • At or below 0% it shows Empty

The percentages are configured per the following table:

Ops3A uses linear interpolation for all values between the given points.

For example, a battery voltage of 2.95 is between 2.9 and 3.0. The battery percent is half way between 75% and 100% (or 87.5%) so the display will be rounded to 88%. When you hover your mouse above the battery icon, a small text box pops up and that value is displayed:
