Maintenance

Attention !
Disconnect the instrument from the measuring circuit before 
opening the instrument to replace the battery or the fuse !

13.1  Battery

Before initial Start-up, or after long storage of your instrument, make sure 
that  no  leakage  has  occurred  at  the  instrument  battery.  Repeat  this 
inspection at regular intervals.

Battery symbol “         ” appears on the LCD in either of below conditions :
1.  Battery voltage is <5.4 V. Battery replacement (recharging in case of 

rechargeable battery) is necessary.

2.  For a specific range depending on application

In either of above condition when the battery symbol is displayed, no 
measurement can be done, and the battery symbol flashes.

Replacing the Batteries

*

Lay the instrument on to its face, loosen the two screws at the rare
panel and lift out the housing base, starting at the bottom (a). The
housing base and the housing top are held together with snap hooks 
at the top of the front panel.

*

Remove all the cells from the battery holder and replace them with
new ones.

*

Important for reassembly : first lay the housing base into place such
as  shown  in  diagram  below.  Push  the  housing  base  and  housing
top together, first at the bottom front (a) and then at the top front (b).

*

Retighten the housing base with the two screws.

*

Please dispose of the used cells properly.

13.2  Operation with Mains Adapter (Optional)

Use only Mains Adapter (Output : 12VDC, 1000mA) to power ON the 
instrument.
During power supply via mains adapter in inserted batteries are cut off 
electronically and thus can be left inside the instrument.

Note 

: There is no need of internal batteries when AC-DC Adapter 

is connected to the instruments.
If re-chargeable batteries are used they must be charged outside 
the instrument.
