Static Shear Tester Operating Instructions (SS-RT-10, SS-HT-8, SS-HT-30)
BATTERY FUNCTION
The Shear testers contain a 9 volt battery that is used to allow a test to continue in case of a
power outage. The display on the Shear tester will be black while running on battery. A new
battery can continue testing for 2-3 hours after loss of power.
The battery voltage is monitored by the control board in the Shear tester. When the voltage
becomes low, there will be a warning message that the battery level is 20%. This is the time
that you should replace the battery. When the battery level is such that it will not continue
testing after a loss of power then a message will be displayed that the battery level is 0%.
The battery tray is located on the back of both the SS-RT-10 and the Timer boxes.
