6.6.3 Power supply
The XENOSENSIV RC is battery-operated.
The battery has an average life of approx. three to six
months depending on the operating hours of the test
instrument.
NOTE – sleep mode
There is no need to remove the battery when the instru-
ment is not in use. The sensor has a sleep mode. This is
activated when the instrument is switched off.
6.6.3.1 Monitoring of the battery voltage
The battery voltage is checked when starting and during
the test. If the battery voltage drops too low, the test is
interrupted and an error message is displayed. The battery
must be changed to continue the test. We recommend you
to order a new spare battery immediately after changing the
battery. This helps you to avoid unnecessary downtimes.
Original spare batteries can be ordered from Atlas
(ID No. 56055009).
Please observe the instructions for disposal of the battery.
NOTE – battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low, the test is interrupted.
