6.1 Operating modes of transmission and battery unit
▪ Deep Sleep
The transmission and battery unit is delivered in Deep Sleep mode. The device is
in this mode prior to commissioning, after it is switched off, and if the battery is
removed for more than 10seconds. (ðSection6.2,Page31)
▪ Set-up mode
The Set-up mode helps find a suitable position for the transmission and battery
unit.
▪ Automatic Measuring Operation
After successful commissioning and when a sensor unit and pump set have been
assigned in the KSB Cloud, the device automatically switches to Stand-by mode
following each measuring cycle and transfer cycle in order to save energy. In this
status, all LEDs are off. The device wakes up cyclically (default setting: every
hour) and takes an automatic measurement.
6.2 Checking that the transmission and battery unit is in Deep Sleep mode
1. Briefly press the pushbutton.
ð The red LED briefly flashes once (for approx. 0.2seconds) in this operating
mode. The red LED then has to extinguish immediately and no further LED
must light up. (ðSection6.1,Page31)
