MiniRAE Lite User’s Guide
Note:
A spare Li-ion battery (part number 059-3051-000) can be
charged by placing it directly in the charging port on the back of the
cradle. It can be charged at the same time as the instrument. Press the
battery in place, sliding it slightly toward the front of the cradle. This
locks it in the cradle. To release the battery, slide it forward again and
tilt it up.
Note:
An Alkaline Battery Adapter (part number 059-3052-000),
which uses four AA alkaline batteries (Duracell MN1500 or
Energizer E91), may be substituted for the Li-Ion battery.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres, recharge
and replace batteries only in areas known to be non-hazardous
.
Remove and replace batteries only in areas known to be non-
hazardous.
ATEX WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electrostatic ignition, do not use the
instrument without the rubber boot in place.
Low Voltage Warning
When the battery’s charge falls below a preset voltage, the instrument
warns you by beeping once and flashing once every minute, and the
battery icon blinks once per second. You should turn off the
instrument within 10 minutes and either recharge the battery by
placing the instrument in its cradle, or replace the battery with a fresh
one with a full charge.
Clock Battery
An internal clock battery is mounted on one of the instrument’s
printed circuit boards. This long-life battery keeps settings in memory
from being lost whenever the Li-ion battery or alkaline batteries are
removed. This backup battery should last approximately five years,
and must be replaced by an authorized RAE Systems service
technician. It is not user-replaceable.
