Low Battery Indication / Battery Charging
When approximately 3 hours of operating time remain
in standby mode, the SuperCELL® will display a plug icon
on the display status screen. The power-on tones are not
emitted when SuperCELL® has a low battery. Low battery is
also indicated by the Operational Status LED changing to a
periodic Red strobe. A double chirp sounds once every ve
minutes with audio enabled. Warning: There are no audible
low battery sounds with audio tones disabled.
When low battery is indicated, less than 3 hours of
operating time remain and the battery should be charged
immediately.
With the charger provided, recharge time is approximately
6 hours from a low battery warning and 9 hours for a dead
battery. Due to current limits imposed by Intrinsic Safety
requirements, a unit that has gone completely dead will
have to be removed from the charging base and reinserted
when the charging light turns Red. Typical operation time
between recharging is approximately 40 hours in standby/
ready mode.
Plug the charger into an outlet. It takes approximately 20
seconds for the Green charger LED to light up. If it does not
turn on or a Red LED turns on, then the battery is either too
hot or cold, or has a fault.
Charging is complete when the Green charge LED starts to
slowly ash.

Alarm Inhibit Timer: When the SuperCELL® receives an alarm message
from another device, and that alarm is cleared, the Alarm Inhibit Timer
provides a 30 second period of time where the SuperCELL® will not
receive another alarm message from that same device.
Alarm Message: A radio transmitted signal sent from a SuperCELL®, or other
GRACE Industries telemetry device, when the panic button is pressed for
the purpose of notifying monitoring personnel that an emergency
situation is present and rescue action is requested.
Alarm Mode: A SuperCELL®, or other GRACE Industries telemetry device,
is placed in alarm mode by pressing the device’s panic button. When
this occurs, the device transmits an alarm signal and emits a loud alarm
audio tone.
Canned Text Message: Canned Text Messages are pre-programmed, text
based messages that can be sent from one SuperCELL® to another.
Device Name: The Device Name is a pre-programmed name assigned to
the SuperCELL® device that can be viewed on the Device Name and Run
Time Display page.
Dilution of Precision: A term used in satellite navigation to express the
positioning accuracy of a GPS device.
GPS Status Icon: The GPS Status Icon appears on the Icon Line of the
Home Page when the GPS Location feature is active. The icon changes
based on the satellite x quality.
Home Page: The Home Page is the main page of the SuperCELL® that
is displayed on startup and any time the device is reset. Displayed on
this page is the status icons, motion sensing timer, device OEM and ID
numbers, and the rmware versions loaded on the device.
Icon Line: The Icon Line is the display line at the top of the home page that
displays the device status icons.
Man-Down Alarm Mode: A SuperCELL, or other GRACE Industries
telemetry device, enters Man-Down Alarm Mode when the Motion
Sensing Timer counts down to zero.
Monitoring Authority: The Monitoring Authority is the person/people
responsible for monitoring the status of the telemetry devices used by
the various on-scene personnel, usually from a centralized base location.
Denition of Terms
Motion Sensing Activation Icon: The Motion Sensing Activation Icon
appears on the Icon Line of the Home Page when the Motion Sensing
feature is active. The icon changes as the devices senses motion.
Motion Sensing Timer: The Motion Sensing Timer indicates the seconds
of lack-of-motion required before the SuperCELL® enters the Man-
Down Alarm mode.
Radio Signal Propagation: Radio Signal Propagation is the behavior radio
waves exhibit when they are transmitted. Radio Signal Propagation can
be aected by structural, environmental, and atmospheric conditions.
Resetting the Device: Simultaneously pressing the MENU/PWR and SEL/
PWR resets the SuperCELL® and returns the display to the Home Page.
Sensing Mode: When the SuperCELL® is turned on, it is in Sensing Mode.
In Sensing Mode, the device is monitoring radio trac for alarm
messages and canned text messages. The SuperCELL® is also sensing
motion, if enabled.
Setup Mode: Setup Mode allows certain characters and functions on the
SuperCELL® to be activated, deactivated, or modied.
Signal Loss: Signal Loss is an event that occurs when the SuperCELL® is
out of the communication range of a base monitor for a preset length
of time.
Signal Loss Activation Icon: The Signal Loss Activation Icon appears on
the Icon Line of the Home Page when the Signal Loss feature is active.
Unit ID: The Unit ID is the unique ID number assigned to the SuperCELL®
device for purposes of radio communication. It can be viewed on the
device’s home page.
Unit OEM: The Unit OEM is a number assigned to the SuperCELL® device,
similar to the Unit ID. The key dierence is the Unit OEM is not a unique
number to each device. In most applications all of the SuperCELL®
devices will have the same OEM number; from the factory this number
will usually be 9090.
