Battery management
To save the battery, the instrument shuts down after 10 minutes of non-use
in
measurement mode and after 1 hour of non-use in calibration mode.
If a valid measurement was displayed before
auto-shut off, the value is displayed when the
instrument is switched on. The blinking
“ZERO”
means that a new zero has to be performed.
One fresh battery lasts for arround 750 measurements, depending on the
light level.
The remaining battery capacity is evaluated at the instrument startup
and after each measurement.
The instrument displays a battery indicator with three levels as follows:
• 3 lines for 100 % capacity
• 2 lines for 66 % capacity
• 1 line for 33 % capacity
• Battery icon blinking if the capacity is under 10 %.
If the battery is empty and accurate measurements can’t be taken any
more, the instrument shows
“dEAd bAtt”
and turns off.
To restart the instrument, the battery must be replaced with a fresh one.
To replace the instrument’s battery, follow the steps:
• Turn the instrument off by pressing
ON/OFF
.
• Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover by
turning it counterclockwise.
• Extract the battery from its location and replace it with a fresh one.
• Insert back the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close.
9•
At the end of the measurement the display
will show the validation standard value.
The reading should be within specifications as
reported on the
CAL CHECK™
Standard
Certificate. If the value is found out of
specifications, please check that the cuvettes
are free of fingerprints, oil or dirt and repeat
validation. If results are still found out of
specifications then recalibrate the instrument.
