When operating using the external battery pack, the J405 will shut down after twenty (20)
minutes of non-usage. However, if the instrument is running in Survey Mode or Auto-Sampling
mode, the instrument will not shut off after twenty minutes. If the J405 is reading low levels of
mercury in Survey or Auto-Sampling mode, it will continue to sample until the battery runs out.
However, if the J405 is reading high levels of mercury in Survey mode, when the sensor reaches
saturation a message will appear indicating that sensor regeneration is required, and twenty
minutes later the instrument will automatically power off. In Auto-Sampling mode, the
instrument will regen automatically when the sensor is saturated.
Additionally, using the optional Car Accessory Cable (AZI P/N: 200-0170), the J405 may be
powered from a car accessory jack (cigarette lighter) and draw power directly from the battery of
a vehicle. The Car Accessory Cable can be used for sensor regeneration or sampling when the
internal battery pack is nearly discharged and AC current for recharging the internal battery pack
is unavailable. The Car Accessory Cable will not recharge the J405’s internal battery pack.
In order to use the external battery pack or the Car Accessory Cable, the J405’s internal battery
pack must be installed in the instrument. If the internal battery pack is disconnected or removed,
neither of these accessories will be able to provide power to the instrument.
To order either of these accessories or for additional information, call AZI Customer Service at

Charging Internal Battery
•
The internal battery needs to be charged if the battery indicator icon on the main screen is
empty and flashing.
•
Connect the AC power supply/charger between the J405 power receptacle and an AC power
source.
•
The battery icon will flash during charging and show as half full until fully charged.
Complete battery recharging takes 3 hours.
The J405 contains a trickle charger so it may be continually plugged into an AC power
source without damaging the battery pack.
When the instrument is plugged in and powered off, the display will stay active and
indicate “Charging.”
When the battery fails to hold a charge, the battery pack should be replaced.
Battery life under normal usage is approximately 1 year, depending on the number of
charge and discharge cycles. See
