Battery-Swap Operations for Sentinel Nodes at Manama Port
Port-border watch around Manama needs short turnaround between drone
sorties more than it needs a taller light mast. SOLARTODO&#039;s published
Manama Sentinel Sky Hub pilot is an off-grid city-AI pole with about
15 m² wrapped flexible CIGS, Jetson-class on-pole inference, AI PTZ
sensing and multi-bay battery hot-swap for autonomous launch, patrol,
inspection and return. This note is an operations playbook for keeping
that swap loop honest.
What is on the published configuration sheet?
Parameter | Configuration
Deployment category | City-Al-pole / physical-Al urban edge node for
port-border-watch infill

Energy system | Off-grid battery-backed micro-station with ~15 m²
wrapped flexible CIGS
Edge Al compute | On-pole Jetson-class inference cabinet with local
metadata export control
Security sensing | AI PTZ for anonymous vehicle count, crowd density,
intrusion, perimeter awareness
Drone operations | Autonomous launch, patrol, inspection, return, task
queueing, multi-bay battery hot-swap
Hardware selection for Manama stays within a designed-to UL, SASO and
IEC requirements posture for the applicable scopes.
How should a shift hand over the hangar?
1. Confirm bay LEDs and door interlocks before the first launch
2. Check that spare packs in the multi-bay are within the state-of-

charge window the OEM states
3. Review the overnight event list on the local console; do not pull
raw video off the pole unless the procedure allows it
4. Log wind, visibility and any salt-spray alarms on the PTZ housing
5. After landing, watch one full hot-swap cycle before releasing the
aircraft to the next mission
What fails first in a port micro-climate?
Salt film on the CIGS wrap and on connector faces. Schedule a
rinse/inspect interval that matches the berth&#039;s spray exposure, and
keep dielectric grease and spare connector caps in the port stores
kit. Heat inside the inference cabinet is the second risk; if the
local UI shows thermal throttling, reduce non-critical analytics
before cancelling patrols.

What belongs in the weekly O&amp;M pack?
• Swap-cycle counter and abort log

• CIGS surface and drain-hole check
• PTZ wiper/glass and heater test
• Foundation bolt torque spot check after any quay vibration event
• Firmware versions on hangar and edge cabinet (change only under
change control)
FAQ
Does hot-swap remove the need for a large battery on the pole?
No. The pole still needs its micro-station store to run PTZ, radios

and the hangar between sun hours. Hot-swap mainly cuts aircraft
turnaround.
Who authorizes a launch after a salt-storm?
Follow the local aviation and port procedure. The pole can queue
tasks; it should not override a human no-go.
Where should raw video live?
On the pole or in the agency&#039;s controlled store. The published design
emphasises local inference with metadata export control.
