3 Introduction to the TSC1 Datalogger
Using a low voltage power supply
You can recharge the TSC1 battery using a power source of less than
15 V.
1. Connect the TSC1 datalogger to a GPS receiver with an
external power source, or directly to a camcorder battery.
2. Open Configuration / Hardware (TSC1) and set the Low voltage
charging fieldto‘On’.
3. The TSC1 battery will charge off the external power source
until it reaches maximum capacity.

If it can, the TSC1 datalogger draws power from the GPS receiver’s
power source. This is used in preference to the lithium-ion battery.
The TSC1 datalogger has two data/power ports. One port is at the
bottom of the unit, the other is at the top on the back. Both ports
function in the same way. Figure 3.2 on page 22 shows where these
ports are located on the TSC1 datalogger.
The Asset Surveyor software automatically detects which port is
connected to an external device. Whichever port is connected first is
the one that is used.
