Low Voltage Level

The IT-2000 continuously monitors the voltage of the main battery, the primary sub-battery, and the SRAM card battery. This allows an application program to determine through the system library if the voltage of each battery reaches a warning level.

The following table summarizes the low battery voltage warning levels, which application programs can acquire through the system library.

Description

 

ion

battery

 

Low main battery

LB1

Main battery

Indicates that the main battery voltage has

voltage warning

 

 

reached a limit level that requires a warning to

level

 

 

be issued. The system sounds the buzzer to

 

 

 

issue an alarm. If this occurs, the user must

 

 

 

replace the main battery within ten minutes. If

 

 

 

the battery is not changed within ten minutes,

 

 

 

the system automatically executes the suspend

 

 

 

process.

Low sub-battery

LB2

Sub-battery

Indicates that the sub-battery voltage has

voltage warning

 

 

reached a limit level that requires a warning to

level

 

 

be issued. Since the system does not issue an

 

 

 

alarm, the application program must execute a

 

 

 

warning by acquiring the status from the

 

 

 

system library.

 

 

 

The sub-battery must be replaced according to

 

 

 

the procedure described later.

Low SRAM card

LB3

SRAM card

Indicates that the SRAM card battery voltage

battery voltage

 

battery

has reached a limit level that requires a

warning level

 

 

warning to be issued. Since the system does

 

 

 

not issue an alarm, the application program

 

 

 

side must execute a warning by acquiring the

 

 

 

status from the system library.

 

 

 

The SRAM card battery must be replaced

 

 

 

according to the procedure described later.

There is also a main battery inoperable level (LB0). This is the status of the main battery when its voltage falls below LB1. If this happens, the system executes an emergency power off (critical suspend). Therefore, this level is also referred to as the emergency escape process level.

This status cannot be acquired from the application side, since the system turns off the power as soon as the voltage reaches LB0.
