Battery Operation
When the Accutorr Plus is powered from the battery, the Battery Indicator (17) is illuminated
continuously.
To conserve power, most displays will blank (time out) at user selected times. The LCD
illumination time out can be set between 3 and 15 minutes. The LED displays time out can be
set between 5 and 60 minutes. Since the Accutorr Plus can be powered from either an AC or
DC source, the user configuration allows the setting of separate times for each type of power
source. See User Configuration, section 3.15 for more information on setting the time out
minutes.
When the battery charge is low, but not below the cutoff voltage, the battery LED will flash
and the recorder will not operate. When the LED begins to flash, at least 10 minutes
minimum of low battery warning time remain.
When the battery charge drops below the cutoff voltage the Accutorr Plus will automatically
turn off. Patient information will be retained for later use.
Battery run time for the Accutorr Plus basic model is approximately 9.5 hours with a new
Lithium ion battery, fully charged at 25
°
C with a NIBP measurement taken every 5 minutes
and the recorder not in use. Battery run time for the Accutorr Plus advanced models is
approximately 7 hours for a new Lithium ion battery, fully charged at 25
°
C with a NIBP
measurement taken every 5 minutes continuous SpO
2
measurement and the recorder not in
use.
The Accutorr Plus automatically recharges the battery, when required, when the unit is
plugged into an AC receptacle. Maximum battery recharge time is 4 hours for Lithium ion
with the Accutorr Plus in standby mode. Charge time may increase if unit is operational (not
in Standby mode).
