The Orbis is supplied with a set of 5 Nickel Metal Hydride
AAA rechargeable batteries, which are supplied fully
charged to allow use straight from the box. Do not use any
other battery charger other than that supplied with the
torque tester.
Under normal circumstances these rechargeable batteries
will not need to be replaced. However, if required, to
replace the rechargeable batteries you must first remove the
base plate on the base of the torque tester by removing the
6 retaining screws. This will reveal a retaining plate.
Remove this by releasing the 2 screws on the retaining
plate. Remove the fitted rechargeable batteries and fit the 5
new rechargeable batteries in the battery holder, ensuring
that you observe polarity and the batteries are placed on
top of the ‘release tag’ and they will be freed from the
spring-loaded contacts.
Refit the retaining plate and tighten the 2 screws. Refit the
base plate and tighten the 6 retaining screws.
Connect the mains adaptor/charger to the Orbis charger
socket located at the right hand side of the torque tester
next to the display and charge the new set of rechargeable
batteries for 14 - 16 hours. Only use the adaptor/charger
supplied. A fully charged battery pack will provide
approximately 20 hours constant use between charges.
A low battery symbol will appear in the display
approximately 2 minutes before the torque tester powers
down automatically. See Fig. 1, below.
The Orbis may also be powered directly from the mains.
Simply maintain the mains adaptor/charger connection to
your mains supply as above. Only use the adaptor/charger
supplied.
