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 GL200. Please refer to chapter 6.2 for detail.

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.
