2.1.2 SC310 power supply
Before you turn the SC310 on, the first thing you must do
is connect it to a battery or other power supply.
The
SC310
sound level meter is fed by two 1,5 V alkaline
or lithium batteries sized AA (LR6) or by direct current
[15]. For DC supply use the
AM240 (V= 230
V, 50 Hz) or AM241 (V= 110 V, 60 Hz) model mains
feeder. If both systems are used at the same time, the
SC310 selects the one offering the higher voltage. The
maximum permitted input voltage is 5 volts. This means
a “12 V” car battery should only be connected to the
SC310 through the AM140 converter.
When the SC310 is fed by the DC input, the symbol
will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen
To fit the batteries, raise the battery compartment lid [11]
at the rear of the SC310. Insert the batteries as indicated
in the drawing that appears inside the batteries
