7 Troubleshooting and Tips 7.1 Best Practices This section provides some tips on working with the equipment. ft 7.1.1 24 Ah Batteries In order to maintain the best possible communication channel, observe the following tips: Place a fully charged 24 Ah battery on the backhaul every day. Keep extra 24 Ah batteries charged up at the staging area. Store 24 Ah batteries at the staging area when not in use. Deep discharging of the batteries can shorten their lifespan considerably. D ra 7.1.
Troubleshooting and Tips Best Practices 7.1.3 PoE When temperature swings are extreme, or weather is severe, store the PoE boxes in the recording truck at night. To ensure a protected connection, be sure to use an Ethernet cable with a protective shell (65-0051) when connecting Ethernet cables to the PoE (see Figure 4–8 Protective Ethernet Connector on page 34). CAUTION Do not allow the PoE battery to remain connected at a voltage of 22V or less. Damage to the equipment could occur. 7.1.
