5.7.1
Emergency power saving mode
The Orbit 360 data logger features an emergency power saving mode that allows it to
extend the time it is capable of logging data in the scenario of encountering power
supply issues. When enabled by the user (enabled by default), the logger will enter into
this power saving mode whenever the supply voltage from the external power supply
drops below 6V. In this power saving mode many features of the logger such as the
modem, display, Ethernet, GPS, etc. are switched off. As soon as the external power
supply is reestablished and the supply voltage surpass 7V, the logger returns to its
normal operation mode.
Besides this, for Orbits 360 equipped with internal backup batteries, the logger will
automatically switch between external power supply and internal battery, provided
that the emergency power saving mode is enabled.
