Please read the following instructions before using the battery. Improper use of the battery may cause heat, damage, or capacity deterioration of the battery: 4.1.1 Potential hazards of the Li-Polymer battery Do not dip or wet the battery in water, seawater, or other liquid. If the housing of the battery is damaged, the battery may discharge with abnormal current, which may result in the generation of heat or fire of the battery. The battery has a defined polarity and must be connected in the right way to the charger. If the battery is connected in reverse polarity to the charger, it is charged reversely which may cause acid leakage, heat generation, or fire. Do not let the battery terminals (+ and -) connect to any metal or conductive material. The battery may be shortened accidentally which may result in excessive discharge current, heat generation, or fire. Do not impose any mechanical impact on the battery. If the battery leaks and its electrolyte contacts with skin, eyes, or clothes, rinse immediately with fresh water, and consult a doctor. 4.1.2 Technical data of the Li-Polymer battery Variable Description Capacity Charging current Charging voltage Discharge cut-off voltage Temperature, charge Temperature, discharge 100 mAh 50 mA max. 4.20 V +- 0.05 V 2.75 V 0 to +45 deg.C -20 to +60 deg.C 4.1.3 Charging the battery Charge the battery by connecting the USB port of the data logger to a PC. The battery will charge with a current of max. 100 mA. A full charge should be achieved in 1.5 hours. The battery is protected against over-charging. If charging the disconnected battery with a laboratory power supply, limit the charging voltage accurately (!) to 4.20 V, and limit the charging current to 50 mA.

Grey values are extrapolated data points. Figure: Spectral sensitivity function of photodiodes. 8.8 Physical interpretation of measurements Light with a spectrum E(λ) [unit W/m2/nm] irradiates the optical aperture of the LightWatcher data logger. The device measures this irradiant light in 5 spectral bands (IR, RED, GREEN, BLUE, or UV) with 5 photodiodes (k = 1,2,3,4,5) equipped with optical filters. The photodiodes have bell-shaped spectral sensitivity functions Sk(λ) with center frequencies at 860 nm (IR), 620 nm (Red), 540 nm (Green), 460 nm (Blue), and 350 nm (UV), and a spectral width (sensitivity decay to 50% of sensitivity maximum) of 80 - 100 nm (see above table and figure). The photo-current I k of photodiode k is in good approximation proportional to the incident irradiance spectrum E(λ), folded with the sensitivity function Sk(λ) of this photodiode. I k = c k .∫ E (λ ) • S k (λ ).dλ Photo-currents I k thus represent the weighted integral value (sum) of the incident spectrum E(λ) with the weighting function Sk(λ). The output values E k of the device are linear functions of the photo-currents I k E k = a 0, k + a1,k .I k OT - Sensor - Manual v3.10.doc LightWatcher / Personal Data Logger - Manual Author: OT Report Version Date Page LW_Manual 3.10 April 2014 51 of 60 Calibration values a0,k and a1,k are determined during device calibration. Calibration values a0,k are close to zero. Calibration values a1,k normalize the areas S k (λ ).dλ of the photodiode ∫ sensitivity functions Sk(λ) and consider various factors that have an effect on the gain of the signal chain. The output irradiance values E k of the LightWatcher are provided in the unit W/m2/nm. Irradiance values E k are normalized, band-pass-filtered values (spectral width 80 - 100 nm) of the incident irradiance spectrum E(λ). Hypothetically, if the LightWatcher would be irradiated with 'white' light with constant spectrum (E(λ) = const. for all λ), the output irradiance values E k of the LightWatcher would be are all the same and identical to E(λ).
