5. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa

Follow these steps to set up your kuman UPS Battery Pack with your Raspberry Pi:

1. Kargatu bateria: Before first use, connect the Micro USB cable to the "Charge Adapter Input" port on the UPS board and plug the other end into a 5V/2A USB power adapter. The battery indicator lights will show charging progress. Charge until all four indicator lights are solid.
2. Attach Standoffs: Secure the four copper standoffs to the mounting holes on the UPS board using the provided screws.
3. Raspberry Pi muntatu: Align the mounting holes of your Raspberry Pi with the standoffs on the UPS board. Carefully place the Raspberry Pi onto the standoffs and secure it with the remaining screws and nuts.
4. Connect Raspberry Pi: Use the provided Micro USB cable or another suitable USB cable to connect the "UPS Output For RPI" USB-A port on the UPS board to the Micro USB power input port on your Raspberry Pi.
5. Optional: Connect Fan (if applicable): If using a Raspberry Pi cooling fan, connect its power cable to the "Raspberry Pi fan power interface" on the UPS board.
6. Optional: Expand Battery Capacity: If you wish to expand the battery capacity, connect additional 3.7V Li-polymer batteries to the BAT1 and BAT2 interfaces. Ensure correct polarity.

6. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

6.1 Piztu/Itzaltzea

To power on your Raspberry Pi using the UPS board, slide the "Power Switch" to the ON position. The output indicator light will illuminate, and your Raspberry Pi will begin to boot. To power off, slide the switch to the OFF position. It is recommended to properly shut down your Raspberry Pi's operating system before cutting power.

6.2 UPS funtzionalitatea

When the UPS board is connected to an external 5V power source via its Micro USB input, it will charge the internal battery while simultaneously powering the connected Raspberry Pi. If the external power source is disconnected (e.g., during a power outage), the UPS board will automatically switch to battery power without interrupting the Raspberry Pi's operation.

6.3 Bateriaren adierazlea

The four LED lights on the board indicate the approximate battery charge level:

• LED bat: %0-25eko karga
• Bi LED: %25-50eko karga
• Hiru LED: %50-75eko karga
• Lau LED: %75-100eko karga

Press the "Battery Check Key" (K1) to momentarily display the current battery level.

7. Mantentzea

• Kargatzen: Regularly charge the battery pack to maintain its health. It is recommended to keep the battery charged when not in use for extended periods.
• Garbiketa: Erabili oihal lehor eta leun bat taula garbitzeko. Ez erabili garbitzaile likidorik edo disolbatzailerik.
• Biltegiratzea: If storing the device for a long time, ensure the battery is charged to about 50-70% and store in a cool, dry place.
• Bateria ordezkatzea: The internal lithium battery is designed for long-term use. If battery performance significantly degrades over time, consult kuman support for replacement options.
