3.2.2.1. Digital Input 1

Digital input 1 work as a lock switch and it is recommended to connect to a toggle switch or a
reed switch.

If SW103 is set to ‘H’, the logical status is ‘0’ when the electrical level of digital input 1 is high. It
will be ‘1’ if the electrical level of digital input 1 is low.

If SW103 is set to ‘L’, the logical status is ‘1’ when the electrical level of digital input 1 is high. It
will be ‘0’ if the electrical level of digital input 1 is low.
GL300WEBKUM001 -11-
GL300W External Battery Kit User Manual

The logical status of digital input 1 will effect on the power output of PCU. Please refer to chapter
3.6 for detail.

Digital input 2 works as a trigger switch and it is recommended to connect it to a tact switch or a
reed switch.
GL300WEBKUM001 -12-
GL300W External Battery Kit User Manual

The default logical status of digital input 2 is ‘0’ and it will be reversed when the electrical level of
digital input 2 changes two times.

The logical status of digital input 2 will effect on the power output of PCU. Please refer to chapter
3.6 for detail.

The reference connection of digital input 2 is shown in following figure.

3.2.3. PWR Output Interface

The power output is included in the PWR Output interface. It also includes the UART interface for
the communication between GL300W and PCU. There are four pins on the right side of the 8-pin
connector. The pin description is shown in Table 6.

3.3. Toggle Switch

The PCU has four toggle switches: SW101 to SW104. They are used for the configuration of the
PCU.

GL300WEBKUM001 -14-
GL300W External Battery Kit User Manual

Figure 10: Toggle Switches

3.3.1. SW101

SW101 is used to enable/disable the onboard motion sensor.

3.3.2. SW102

SW102 is used to configure the auto power up function. If it is set to ‘L’, the power output will be
enabled for at least 5 minutes every day even when the PCU is in rest. If SW102 is set to ‘H’, the
power output will never be enabled when the PCU is in rest. (In case the logical status of two
digital inputs are all 0).

There are some reporting messages relate to this function. Please refer to chapter 6.2.4 for
details.

3.3.3. SW103

SW103 is used to configure the logical status of digital input 1.

3.3.4. SW104

SW104 is used to enable/disable the indication LED. If SW104 is set to ‘H’, the LED will be
disabled. If SW104 is set to ‘L’, the LED will be enabled.

Please notice that even when the LED is enabled, it will only light when the power output is
enabled.

GL300WEBKUM001 -15-
GL300W External Battery Kit User Manual

3.4. Indication LED

The Red LED is used to indicate the output of the power. It is controlled by the toggle switch
SW104 and the power output.

3.5. Onboard Motion Sensor

If SW101 is set to ‘H’, the motion sensor will be disabled and the logical status of motion sensor
will always be ‘0’. If SW101 is set to ‘L’ then the motion sensor will be enabled. The logical status
of motion sensor will be ‘1’ when the PCU is in motion, and be ‘0’ when the PCU is in rest. Please
notice that there will be five minutes’ delay after the logical status of motion sensor change from
‘1’ to ‘0’.

The logical status of motion sensor will effect on the power output. Please refer to chapter 3.6
for detail.

3.6. Relations between Logical Status and Power Output

Only when the logical status of digital input 1 and 2 are all 0, the power output can be disabled.
PCU will send the report on every logical status change to the backend server via GL300W. Please
refer to chapter 6.2 for detail.

The description of the logical status is shown in following table. The power output will be
disabled when the logical status of power output changes from 1 to 0. But please notice that
there will be five minutes delay to let the GL300W send out the report message to backend.

7. Configuration Q&A

Question1: I am using the PCU. How can I configure the system to report when motion and stop
reporting when rest?
Answer: Please set the SW103 to ‘H’ and set the SW101 to ‘L’. The configuration on SW102 and
SW104 is depending on your requirement.

Question2: I am using the PCU. How can I configure the system to be always reporting?
Answer: Please set the SW103 to ‘L’. The configuration on SW101 and SW102 can be ignored.
The configuration on SW104 is depending on your requirement.
