Probe battery
Power for the probe is supplied
by one PP3 9V alkaline or lithium
battery. It is essential to select the
type listed in chart, or equivalent.
Low battery warning
When the MI 16 Low Battery
LED lights up, battery voltage
is low and the end of
useable battery life is approaching. (The Low
Battery LED will only light up during the probe
operating mode).
The machine control may also be programmed
to flag up a Low Battery Alarm.
Typical battery reserve life
Using an alkaline battery at 5% usage, the probe
will typically continue to operate for 8 hours, after
the MI 16 Low Battery LED lights up.
Dead battery indication
When the battery voltage drops below the
threshold where performance can be
guaranteed, a probe output relay will also
be forced into its open state, causing the
machine to stop, until a new battery is
inserted. The probe will revert to the
stand-by mode after changing the battery.
