Installation and setup
Connect a USB Micro B cable with power adapter to the wall plug you want to monitor. Connect the USB Micro B cable from that adapter into J1 on the PCB board. Note: This does not power the board or the microcontroller but will turn on the green LED.
Connect a battery that uses a USB Micro B cable to J3 on PCB Board. This will power the board and start the monitoring process.
Insert and formatted SD card into the SD Card reader. Press the reset button to start the monitoring process.
Optional:
Connect an optional RS232 interface for console port monitoring. Connect USB A cable to plug on the PCB labeled Battery charger to charge battery while in use. Note: Do not plug in a battery that has a charging circuit or states battery should not be charged while discharging.
