•
If the capacity is lower than the programmed limit, the GSB battery is
charged until it reaches the programmed capacity, and the LED
flashes on
for one second and off for 1 second. Once it finishes the charge, the LED
flashes rapidly 5 times per second. The unit can be removed from the rack.
The LED will be ON for 30 seconds and then powers off.
•
If the capacity is equal to the programmed limit, the LED flashes rapidly 5
times per second. After it is removed from the rack, the LED will be ON for
30 seconds and then powers off.
Notes:
•
The GSBs are powered off. To activate them again, they must be
reconnected to the GSB rack.
•
The GSBs are not required to go fully charge or discharge the battery for
initial evaluation of the capacities. The software uses the measured
battery voltages to determine their capacities.
5. – GSB test
Geospace provides different techniques to confirm the proper performance of
GSBs when they are connected to the server or via radio in field operations.
When they are connected to the racks
•
To perform instrument test using customized parameters.
•
To evaluate memory size, parameters checksum, battery charging state and
data transfer speed.
When they are deployed
•
LEDs shows the state of the GSBs at deployment time and while they are
deployed.
•
The use of Geospace QC devices (LineViewers and LHRs) allow to
evaluate the state of the deployed GSBs for the following statuses:
o
Programmed SR, filter settings and gain
o
Sensor state
