UltraRAE 3000 User’s Guide
Note:
A spare Li-ion battery (059-3051-000) or NiMH (059-3054-
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), 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.
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, NiMH, 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.
