WARNING
For product warnings and other important safety information, read the Zen-Me
Safety Guide (zenme.io/safetyguide).
Device Overview
Charging and Battery
The Zen-Me Sensor contains a rechargeable, built-in Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery. The battery charge lasts for up to 12 months and is recharged using the Zen-Me wireless charger.
Battery Charging
Allow 2.5 hours to charge the battery from zero to full capacity at the
optimal charging temperature of 21°C (70°F). At other temperatures, the
battery may take longer to charge or fail to reach 100% charge. The sensor
will not charge at temperatures outside the approved range of 0°C to 45°C
(32-113°F). Placing the sensor or charger in direct sunlight will heat the
devices and affect charging capability.

the sensor battery discharging fully without warning. If this happens the
sensor will send a notification when it recharges and reconnects to the Zen-Me
App.
If the sensor does not respond, the most common cause is that the battery has
run out. Check the battery charge by pressing the sensor Power Button. If the
sensor light fades or fails to flash, the battery has discharged completely
and must be recharged.
|
---|---
To find out if the battery charge is low, press the sensor Power Button.| If
the sensor light fades or fails to flash, the battery charge is very low and
must be recharged.
Battery Life
NOTICE
Battery life and the rate of power consumption are affected by a number of
factors:
STYLE OF USE
Depending on how the sensor is used, it has more or fewer features enabled.
The more features activated, the greater the power demand.
INTENSITY OF MEASUREMENT
The frequency settings selected for data acquisition and transmission
influence the rate of power usage (see table below).
WIRELESS ENVIRONMENT
High levels of wireless traffic or having numerous devices share the same
space will increase the sensor’s power consumption.
(This is a simplified illustration of the effect on intensity vs. battery consumption. The relative consumption is also affected by the frequency of reading data from the sensor, and radio interference in the usage environment).
