Hexylon High-performance portable meter

Power supply
A DC adapter is provided to power and charge the
meter. Plug the adapter into a properly grounded
electrical supply and the power connector on the
side of the unit.
When external power is supplied, the battery
management system automatically controls the
charging process.
A battery icon indicates the charge status of the
battery.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon
is completely filled. As the battery discharges, the
amount the icon is filled decreases in steps.
From a fully discharged state, a full charge takes
approximately between 3 and 4 hours if the
HEXYLON is turned off. When the meter is turned
on, the charge takes more time.
When the meter is off while the battery is charging,
the ON/OFF button red led blinks. When the
battery is totally charged the red light remains red.
A 1 hour charge will provide battery for around two
working hours.
The charge management system will detect
various conditions preventing charging, such as a
battery that is over a safe temperature.
