Battery charging and care of rechargeable battery
CAUTION !
Always maintain cable reel’s battery in charged condition. Failure to do so will cause premature battery
failure. A battery which gets damaged due to non-compliance with the instructions given below is not
covered by our standard warranty and is also not eligible for free servicing.
Cable reel’s battery
The EAN-26 Digital Inclinometer Reel uses a removable sealed rechargeable Li-ion maintenance free
battery as a power source. A separate battery charger unit operating from universal AC mains supply is
supplied with each Inclinometer system. This battery charger operates from 90 to 260 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz
which makes it suitable for operation from AC mains available throughout the world.
A fully discharged battery needs 4 hours of charge to get fully charged. A partially discharged battery will
require proportionately less time but the time is difficult to calculate. As soon as the battery is fully charged
the charging current gets automatically reduced to a safe value.
On receiving the Inclinometer system for the first time recharge the battery for 4 hours using the supplied
mains powered battery charger.
If the DI Reel is not going to be used for more than 30 days, fully charge the battery before storing the DI
Reel. Also fully charge the battery before use if the DI Reel has not been used for more than 30 days.
If the data logger is not going to be used for more than 30 days, recharge the battery at least once every
30 days or so.
When battery voltage is showing 7.3V in system information screen (at Readout unit) it means
approximately 10 percent of battery capacity is left. Fully recharge the battery at the first opportunity.
Turn off mains AC supply to the charger before connecting to or disconnecting battery from the battery
charger. A fully charged battery will not get damaged but the battery life gets reduced if a fully charged
battery is kept connected to the charger for very long duration. It is recommended that the charger be
disconnected after 4 hours charging period is over.
The rechargeable battery needs replacement every 3 to 5 years (irrespective of hours of use). Replace
battery with Camcorder Battery BP522 or an equivalent from another manufacturer.
Phone’s (readout unit) battery
The EAN-26DI Readout unit uses an internal sealed rechargeable Li-ion maintenance free battery as a
power source. A separate battery charger/adaptor unit operating from universal AC mains supply is
supplied with each DI Readout unit. This battery charger operates from 90 to 260 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz which
makes it suitable for operation from AC mains available throughout the world.
On receiving the Readout unit for the first time discharge the battery fully and then recharge the battery for
2 hours using the supplied mains powered battery charger.
If the DI Readout unit is not going to be used for more than 30 days, fully charge the battery and switch
OFF the phone before storing the DI Readout unit. Also fully charge the battery before use if the DI Readout
unit has not been used for more than 30 days.
