6.4 Battery-powered sensor unit
With normal operation, the lithium batteries of the sensor unit
last for about 3 years. Normal operation means one measuring
sequence* per hour and interference-free data transmission, at an
ambient temperature of 20 °C.
6.4.1 Battery status
The battery charge status is automatically transmitted by the sen-
sor unit together with the measurement data and displayed in
OMNITREND:
• At program start: If the battery charge at one of the sensor
units is too low, a warning is displayed when the OMNITREND
software is started. This warning is displayed at every program
start until the respective battery has been replaced and a new
measurement record has been read.
• Battery status report: In the main menu, select <Tools> / <Re-
ports> / <VIBCONNECT RF Battery Status>.
• Configuration of the bridge: In the configuration window for
the bridge, the battery charge status of each assigned sensor
unit is displayed (see section 'Configuration', page 57).
