Power Source

9V alkaline battery (6LF22)

Battery Life

140 hrs continuous operation or 10,000 one minute measurements

Battery Indicator

When Green LED starts blinking, remaining life is approx 8 hours; 

When LED is OFF, the battery needs to be replaced

(1): Peak factor PF = Vpeak/Vrms
(2): The residual noise affects the measurement uncertainty according to the formula:

(I measured x 0.01)

2

 + (residual noise)

2

I measured

global uncertainty  = 

(I measured ≠ 0)

If the current measured is zero, the uncertainty is equal to the residual noise.
