Operating on AC Power or Generator
•
For stationary use, the J605 may be operated on AC power.
Operating the instrument on AC power at all times eliminates the need for the battery
pack and its necessary maintenance.
The battery may be disconnected internally or removed completely whenever the
instrument is operating on AC power.
Operating on Internal Battery Power
For portable use, the J605 may be operated on battery power.
•
When you operate the instrument on battery power, please be aware of the following:
A fully charged battery pack (AZI P/N 200-0143) provides power for a minimum of
eighteen (18) hours of operation.
For operating more than eighteen (18) hours, an extra fully charged battery pack is
needed.
Complete battery recharging takes 3 hours. Refer to
The J605 uses a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery. Dispose of worn-out
batteries properly when you are replacing the battery pack.
When operating on battery power, the J605 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 J605 is reading low levels of hydrogen
sulfide in Survey or Auto-Sampling mode, it will continue to sample until the battery runs out.
However, if the J605 is reading high levels of hydrogen sulfide 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 regenerate automatically when the sensor is saturated, provided external power is
connected. If external power is not connected, the instrument will indicate “Regen Required” and
the regeneration will not be performed.
Battery Management
With all handheld and battery powered instruments, there is a need to keep the battery properly
charged and ready for use. Proper battery management will not only ensure the instrument is
ready when needed, but will also extend the life of the battery.
There are 3 different battery management methods recommended based on the frequency of
instrument use. An additional option to ensure the instrument is ready to go at a moment’s notice
is to purchase an AZI external battery pack (AZI P/N: 990-0214). See
for more information on the External Battery Pack.
High Frequency user: Daily and weekly usage.
For this type of user, the instrument should be plugged in anytime the instrument is not being
used.
