If you are using an LIR2032 rechargeable battery and wish to charge the battery you must place the jumpers for J3 & J7
into the recharge positions. Now turn the power switch to the ON position and connect the USB micro cable to your
computer. During the charging the RED led will be lite and the computer will most likely report “unknown USB device”.

Once the battery is fully changed the RED led will turn off.

Using J6 with an external battery pack will work but the charging will not be accurate and will take an extremely long time
and is not advisable without modifications to the hardware. Please refer to the ISL9230 documentation.

4.3.2 Normal CR2032 Battery Operation

The use of a normal CR2032 battery to run the device will have J3 in the CR2032 position and J7 will be removed. Turn
on the device with SW1 (power switch) and the YELLOW led should flash three times to indicate that the program is
running.

Charging Indicator

When an End of Charge (EOC) condition is reached, the CHG pin
changes to Hi-Z to indicate the end-of-charge condition and the
charging is terminated if the CONT pin is in logic low. When a
recharge condition is met, the safety timer will be reset to zero and
the charging re-starts.

In the event a timeout interval has elapsed before the EOC
condition is reached, a timeout fault condition is triggered. The
timeout fault condition is indicated by the CHG pin being toggled
between HI and LO every 0.5s. The timeout fault condition can be
cleared by removing and reapplying the input power to the IC.

Under the EOC, timeout and timeout fault conditions, the power
delivery to VOUT is not impacted. The battery continues to supply

current to VOUT if needed, as described in “Dynamic Power Path
Management” on page 15 of the ISL9230 Data Sheet.

11. Appendix A – Version 2 Pet Monitor Recovery

11.1 Abstract

There is a condition that can occur on the Pet Monitor version 2 (Bootloader version). With the power switch in the on
position and the USB cable is attached to charge the battery if you remove the USB cable without turning off the switch it is
likely that the application will be put into a condition waiting for a new program version to be downloaded. This is indicated
by the YELLOW LED being on solid.

It is recommended that you always turn off the switch before removing the USB cable.

11.2 Requirements

A terminal program called Tera Term (download link).

11.3 Proceedure

11.3.1 Step 1

Download and Install the Tera Term application. Turn off the power on the Pet monitor and remove the USB connection
cable to the PC. Make sure the PC application for the Pet Monitor is not running.

11.3.2 Step 2

Leaving the switch on the Pet Monitor in the OFF position, connect the USB cable and the PC should identify the serial
port connection.

11.4 Step 3

Launch the Tera Term application and open a Serial connection to the Pet Monitors Port.

the programming file.

You will see an indicator of this that will look something like this:

When the programming is completed this box will go away and you can then disconnect from the Pet Monitor with the Tera
Term application, by selecting File | Disconnect or File | Exit All.

Now your Pet Monitor should be back in normal operation.

Disconnect the USB cable from the unit.

12. Appendix B – Pet Monitor Version 1 vs. Version 2

12.1 General Information

The easiest way to tell if you have version 1 or version 2 is to look at the plastic case. If you have a case that has a black
bottom then you have version 1. There is no difference in the hardware, the only difference is in the software programmed
into the unit.

The version 2 of the software project using a USB bootloader. This means that a user can change their program by using
the e2 studio and the version 2 project and upload the program to the Pet Monitor without the use of a JTAG programmer.

If you have version 1 of the software you can reprogram the unit by using the version 2 project along with a JTAG
programmer connected to J2 as shown here.

Version 1 Pet Monitor

Version 2 Pet Monitor

Please also note that both version 1 and version 2 projects are included in your installation.

12.2 e2 Studio importable projects:

Project file for version 1: S3A3_Pet_Monitor_v1.zip

Project file for version 2: PetMonitor_v3_0x20000.zip
