51 • • • • • • Dolphin® QuadCharger The Dolphin® QuadCharger provides intelligent battery management for NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Dolphin battery packs. The charger fully charges as many as four NiMH batteries in 2.5 hours. Charging slots work independently to control charging and discharging of individual battery packs. The QuadCharger is compatible with all models in the Dolphin® family of hand held computers. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry uses a three-step process that senses changes in temperature and voltage and drops to a trickle charge when the packs are fully charged. This feature allows the user to leave batteries in the charger indefinitely, which maintains the batteries at peak capacity without damage. The charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately show battery status on the Dolphin display. The QuadCharger also conditions and calibrates batteries for longer, more consistent performance. Dolphin QuadCharger Parts and Function Top Panel Charging Pocket Status LEDs Status LEDs Condition Switch & Condition LED Power Switch & Power LED 6 52 • • • • • • Charging Pocket The QuadCharger has four charging pockets for charging and/or conditioning batteries for your Dolphin terminal. Power Switch Press and hold the Power Switch for approximately one second, then release, to turn on the Dolphin QuadCharger. The Power Switch LED is green when the unit is on. To turn the charger off, press and hold the Power Switch for about two seconds and then release. This feature prevents the unit from being accidently turned off during use or on when not in use. Condition Switch Press the Condition Switch to start a battery conditioning cycle. The orange Conditon Switch LED flashes during the conditioning cycle. Status LEDs A Status LED is located above each of the four battery pockets. Rear Panel Power Supply Connector Use this connector to attach a power supply to the Quad Charger. The universal power supply accepts input voltages between 90-265 volts. Communications Port The communications port is for factory use only in programming the Quad Charger. Rear Panel of Dolphin Quad Charger Power Supply ConnectorCommunications Port 53 • • • • • • Charging Batteries In The QuadCharger Follow these steps to charge batteries in the QuadCharger: 1. Set up the charger for use 2. Supply power 3. Insert batteries CAUTION: Do not attempt to recharge any battery pack in the Dolphin QuadCharger that is not manufactured by HHP especially for this device. To do so will void your warranty and could damage the Dolphin QuadCharger. Setting Up The QuadCharger The Dolphin QuadCharger should be setup on any dry, stable surface. DIN rail slots on the bottom panel allow the charger to be wall or desktop-mounted for easily adapting the unit to your environment. The charger must be connected to a power source for any type of operation. Supplying Power To The QuadCharger CAUTION: Using a non-HHP power cord voids your warranty and could result in serious damage to the Dolphin QuadCharger’s circuitry. Locate the AC power cord that came with the Dolphin QuadCharger. Plug the cord into the power supply connector on the back of the unit and, then plug the power cord into a wall socket. Press and hold the Power Switch for approximately one second, then release, to turn on the Dolphin QuadCharger. The GREEN power LED will illuminate and the charger will undergo a self-diagnostic test. Inserting and Removing Battery Packs To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. Once the battery is properly seated, the orange status LED for that particular pocket will illuminate. For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before recharging them; temperature has a marked effect on charging. The recommended temperature range is 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C). The LEDs indicate the charging status of batteries as described in the chart shown on the next page: 54 • • • • • • To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery out from the charging pocket with a hinging motion. Servicing The Battery Pack To service battery packs, insert batteries into the charging pockets and press the Condition button. The Condition LED will flash during the conditioning cycle. This starts an automatic process where batteries are completely discharged and then recharged to full capacity in eight hours. The Condition and Calibrate cycle resets and calibrates battery data so that the user gets longer, more consistent performance from the batteries. HHP recommends that battery packs should be serviced, or calibrated once a month. Because the Dolphin QuadCharger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire Condition and Calibrate cycle, it is important not to remove the battery until the cycle has been completed and the Condition LED is no longer flashing. Batteries inserted after the “Condition and Calibrate” switch has been depressed will receive a standard charge. The chart below describes the Status LEDs during the Condition and Calibrate cycle: Status LEDDescription Green Charging is complete and battery is ready for service.

LA-4137 Processing Gain Calculations Page 1 of 4 Processing Gain Calculation Symbol Technologies LA-4137 WLAN Compact Flash Card Norman H. Nelson, Sr. EMC Engineer June 18, 2001 Symbol calculated the processing gain from the jamming margin of the LA-4137 transceiver as specified in 15.247 (e)(2). Test Setup The purpose of the jamming test is to determine how effective the modulation, coding and decoding is at rejecting the corrupting influence of a CW jammer signal. Where as most setups us a BER to generate data and count errors because the modulator chip architecture prevents injecting data after chipping, Symbol chose to use another LA- 4121 as the transmitter and data generator. A link between the transmitter and receiver is made and path loss adjusted so that the BER is 10E-5. The path loss is then reduced by 10 dB so that the BER approaches zero. Finally a jamming signal is combined with the transmitted signal to degrade the system performance. The jamming signal amplitude is then adjusted to the point that the BER is degraded to 10E-5. The relationship between PER and BER is as follows. In order to get a good packet we need 8 x 1024 good bits. Stated mathematically. 1-PER = (1-BER) (8*24) . Or BER=1-(1- PER) (1/(8*1024)) . Jamming Margin Test Setup ATE Controller Mini Tower PC Signal Generator GPIB Power Meter GPIB GPIB GPIB Step Attn (50 dB) RS-232 RX Card Laptop (PER Receiver) TX Card Laptop (PER Generator) Fixed Attn (20 dB) RS-232 The major blocks of the jamming margin test are a transmitter, a receiver, and a jammer. The TX card formats and transmits packets of data consisting of 1024 bytes LA-4137 Processing Gain Calculations Page 2 of 4 each. The RX card then attempts to read each packet. The Signal Generator provides the jamming signal. The splitters combine the TX and jammer signals and provide a port to measure the power levels within the RF link. The PER Generator Laptop controls the transmit card and the PER receiver laptop controls the receiver. The ATE PC automates the test by controlling the two laptops, the Signal Generator, and the power meter. Software blocks The key to this test is three software programs Packet Generator (PG), Packet Counter (PC), and Jam Margin Controller (JMC). The first to work together to form the PER measurement system and the last to control the jammer, the power meter, and the other two software blocks. Packet Generator runs on the PG Laptop and controls the transmit card. A trigger on the serial port line commands the TX card to generate and transmit 1000 packets of 1024 bytes at a specified data rate. Packet Counter runs on the PER receiver laptop and queries the RX card for the number of packets it has received. A trigger on the serial port causes the Packet Counter to report the number of packets to the ATE Controller and reset the Packet Counter to zero. The Packet counter automatically detects the data rate of the incoming packet stream. The other Jamming Margin Controller (JMC) runs on the ATE PC and controls the Signal Generator, the Power Meter, and PGAC running on the Dual Slot laptop. PG commands the TX card to transmit a set of 1000 packets of 1024 bytes of data. The RX card receives the packets and PC sends the number of good packets received to the serial port. The functional purpose is the same as a BER meter. A new set is run every time a new trigger is received on the serial port from JMC. JMC controls the jammer, the power meter, and the Dual Slot program. JMC se…
