| STAGE | MINIMUM VOLTAGE | SENSOR MEASUREMENTS | DATA TRANSMISSION | NOTE |
| 1. normal mode | > 6 V | ☑ | ☑ | default (normal) operating mode where the device measures and logs sensors data and transmits the logs to the FieldClimate cloud |
| 2. gathering mode | 5.8 V – 6 V | ☑ | ☒ | device is only measuring and logging sensors data, it does not have enough power to execute transmission |
| 3. Sleeping mode | < 5.8 V | ☒ | ☒ | device does not have enough power to measure the sensors or to do the data transmissions |

b. Supercapacitor board number 29-0370 (discontinued):
Supported on nMETOS boards Rev. B, C and E.
Solar panel goes plugged into SOL input on the super capacitor board 29-0370 Super capacitor is plugged into SCAL input on the nMETOS board
29-0370 chart display:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE install the solar panel without a super capacitor on the nMETOS/LoRAIN with a battery. The battery FANSO and SAFT ARE NOT rechargeable.
INFORMATION about PCB REVISION:
Please, refer to Check the version (revision) of the board 29-0404
HOW TO MEASURE THE BATTERY CHARGE:
iMETOS 3.3, ECO D3, µMETOS Clima and Soil NB-IoT & LoRa
a. Using a multimeter:
b. Menu of the device:
To know how to connect to the station using a USB cable, please, refer to: Create Log file with PI Service Terminal iMetos 3.3 & ECO D3
On the main, select (2) SENSORS and then (B) BATTERY STATUS:
NOTE: Ensure the battery is above 6.3V.

b. Menu of the device:
To know how to connect to the station using a USB cable, please, refer to: Create Log file with PI Service Terminal NB-IoT Stations
On the main menu, select (5) SENSOR TESTING:
NOTE: Ensure the battery has 3.5 or 3.6V and the supercapacitor 2.5V or more. If the battery or the supercapacitor are below the threshold, it is not recommended to use them.
