Re: Wireless problem - losing communication

Hadi,
I have to ask if you charged the batteries before you used them from the KOP? Then working down the list, check that all of the terminals are tight and that you don't have a damaged 120 amp breaker. You have used the #6 wire that came in the kit for wiring from the battery to the PD and the main breaker. Then check that all the screws are tight in the connector you are using to feed both the OI access point and the robot wireless. A quick check it to measure the output of one of the WAGO connectors with a breaker installed. The voltage should not vary much from 12 volts. If it does fall at the same time, as the router drops out, something is loose up stream. If everything checks out, and the CRIO voltage stays at 24 volts, then there is a possiblity of a defect on the PD.
