A solar powered terminal has no battery charger. Instead, the solar panel charges the battery via the CPU board and a cable between the CPU board and the battery. The CPU board measures the charging current and if the charging voltage exceeds 18 V a fuse will blow.
The result of the measured charging current is sent to WebOffice. A warning event will be generated if the current drops below the warning level and the terminal will be set in error state if the current drops below the error level. A restore event will be generated when the current reaches the recovery level.
