4 Maintenance
4.1 Battery
The meter is fitted with a 3.6 volt lithium
battery that cannot be recharged but can be
replaced.
The typical lifespan of the battery is 13
years, calculated using factory set-up and
with the following operating conditions:
– between -10°C and +0°C for 10% of
lifespan
– between 0°C and +30°C for 80% of lifespan
– between +31 °C and +55 °C for 10% of
lifespan
l
WARNING!
Humidity and intense heat may
damage the battery and reduce
its lifespan.
The meter calculates the useful remaining
life of the battery based on memorized pa-
rameters, for example, estimated consump-
tion of the electronic board in standby, con-
sumption in transmission and the number
of transmissions made.
Battery life depends largely on the frequen-
cy of data transmission set.
