Older Model AP/W instruments used a different type of battery and charger. See below
for details on Serial Number less than 1333.
DISCONTINUED BATTERY INFO
The Model AP/W will indicate when the battery voltage is low, by a flashing or flickering
of the Green Power LED, instead of providing a steady glow. The Power LED referred
to is on the panel of the Instrument case. The Red
BATT. CHARGE INDICATOR
LED
will light when the battery charger is correctly connected to the Model AP/W
instrument.
Beginning with AP/W serial number 588, the battery charger included with the
instrument has a slide switch that will allow the charger to operate from 115V AC or
230V AC. The factory setting of this slide switch is set for 115V AC, which is correct
for the US. To adjust for 230V AC, slide the switch so that 230V AC Shows.
The new battery charger also now comes with a standard computer –style AC cord
that plugs into the battery charger and the wall outlet. When the charger is being used
outside of the US, a different plug configuration may be required. This type of computer
–style cord should make it easy to find an appropriate AC cord throughout the world.
Earlier Model AP/W units were supplied with either a 110V or 240V charger with a
hardwired cable. Check the packing list or invoice of your order to verify which battery
charger was included with your Model AP/W.
The battery charger has a special plug that is designed to fit into the connector on the
side of the battery, so that polarity of the connection is not an issue.
The battery charger has an LED on its side. This LED will glow steady while charging
the battery. The LED will begin BLINKING when the battery is fully charged.
On earlier Model AP/W instruments (up to s/n 575), to charge the battery, first connect
the PowerPak to the instrument. The PowerPak connector must be connected to the
main instrument to charge the battery. On newer Model AP/W instruments the
PowerPak does not need to be connected to charge the battery.
Connect the charger to the instrument body, using the special connector, fitted into
the charge port on the front and lower Right of the AP/W case. Attach the battery
charger to an AC power source, ensuring the slide switch is in the appropriate AC
supply position: 115v AC or 230V AC (or, on earlier versions, 120v or 240v, depending
on which charger you have. Each charger has an “Inspected By” label which shows
this information.) Leave on charge for 8 to 10 hours between uses. The battery
charger is equipped with a trickle charge feature, so the battery will not be harmed by
leaving the instrument on charge for too long.
