-
2 Micro (AAA) cells with 1.2V to 1.5V nominal voltage.
Important: Batteries loaded under spring pressure! To avoid risk of injury through batteries
being rapidly ejected keep contact hinge firmly pressed when opening slider and softly release.
Obey correct polarity as shown on label. Push down battery hinge and close slider.
-
6 to 18 Volts DC via pin 4 of
“TC”
Lemo socket.
-
5 Volts
DC via “ACN” Lemo socket (e.g. over USB port/charger using ACN
-USB cable).
To switch on or off press and hold the configuration switch for 4 seconds. On turning off hold and press
again when prompted.
Telemetry profiles are available for Alkaline and Lithium primary cells and NiMH rechargeables. Select
the correct battery type in Sys/Config menu for reliable low voltage warning LED blink and status

Important: Batteries loaded under spring pressure! To avoid risk of injury through batteries being rapidly
ejected keep contact hinge firmly pressed when opening slider and softly release. Obey correct polarity as
shown on label. Push down battery hinge and close slider.
Applying external voltage from either Lemo or USB will bypass the power switch and turn on the unit
with “EXT” overrid
ing the battery status symbol on the OLED screen. You may also keep the batteries in
the unit to seamlessly switch over and keep the generator running on power loss. External power has
always priority over battery, so unit will automatically switch over to external and no battery will be
drained. However, there is no charging function for rechargeable batteries. If the unit was powered
from external you will be prompted to disconnect power to switch off.
