Application Note

This note provides a complete overview of techniques for reducing energy usage in Senquip devices operating on solar panels or internal batteries. It explains the relationship between measurement, transmission, and sleep intervals, demonstrating how to balance responsiveness and endurance. The guide introduces low‑power modes, batching of data, and peripheral power‑rail control, supported by current‑draw tables for each configuration. Practical examples show how message frequency and sensor activation affect average current consumption. Recommendations are given for panel sizing, battery capacity, and environmental factors such as temperature effects on charge efficiency. Additional attention is paid to communication optimisation—how queued messages are sent in bursts to minimise modem wake‑time. Applying these strategies enables deployments lasting many months from compact solar systems while maintaining dependable telemetry updates.
