Meter connections and sockets?
On one side of the meter there is a removable 'F' connector. Spares are available from your distributor. On the other
side of the meter there are two sockets. One is the connector for the battery chargers, and the other is a data input
socket.
Field Replaceable Battery Pack
The user can buy spare batteries from the distributor and install them in the battery compartment at the bottom, on
the back of the meter. The other case screws must not be removed or the warranty will be voided.
Care of your Satmeter
Clean the meter casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any
type of abrasive, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the finish of the casing and
screen.
