CZ – Power Down Channel Master
Purpose Tells the Channel Master to power down.
Format CZ
Recommended Setting. Use as needed.
Description Sending the CZ-command powers down the Channel Master.
Channel Master processing is interrupted and the Channel
Master goes in the STANDBY mode (RAM is maintained).
Notes 1. When powered down using the CZ-command, the Channel
Master still draws up to 30µa, but wakes up periodically
(every 8 to 12 hours) for a few seconds to maintain RAM.
2. This command should be used whenever batteries have
been installed and you do not send commands to start a de-
ployment. If you do not use the CZ-command, the Channel
Master will draw up to 50 milli-amps of current. A new bat-
tery will be discharged in a few days.
