5.1. Dual Current Supply
First of all the DPSI RV Mini is a dual current supply with regulated
output voltage which allows for usage of all commercially available
batteries as a receiver power supply (NiCd, NiMH, LiIon, LiPo, LiFePo,
etc.).
It's a dual current supply because two batteries can be connected to
the system. If one battery fails, secure operation is guaranteed by the
second battery. Normally, both batteries are discharged equally at the
same time. Additionally, current drawn from each battery is cut in half
due to the two batteries connected in "parallel" which allows for
batteries with lower current load capabilities.
5.2. Electronically Switches
The batteries are switched using fail-proof electronically switches. The
external switch actuator only generates the On/Off signal. Power is
switched by highly loadable semiconductors. Thanks to the
electronically switches there is no power loss, contacting problems or
transition resistance. All DPSI RV Mini systems are built with separate
electronically switches, i.e. all electronics are dual. The switches are
fail-proof and are controlled by a self holding circuitry (not by means of
a microcontroller!).
An operating DPSI RV Mini stays turned on even if the On/Off switch
actuator is removed or broken or should the microcontroller
malfunction.
