To setup the power supply mode:
• Go to Main menu by pressing Enter
• Navigate to menu Configuration → Power source → External
• Press enter on parameter EPwrSMode and choose proper option: BATT/FULL
There is possibility to sustain FULL mode on batteries while mains power supply failures and there is temporary blackout.
In the same menu find parameter: EPwrSSupp. This parameter range is 0-180 [minutes]. This mode is temporary due
to significant energy consumption while powering the device fully. Battery discharging rate is 0,3% per hour.
