Unpacking and Installing
Inspection
If the shipping carton is damaged, request that the carrier's agent be present when the unit is unpacked.
If the instrument appears damaged, the carrier's agent should authorize repairs before the unit is returned
to the factory. Even if the instrument appears undamaged, it may have suffered internal damage in transit
that may not be evident until the unit is operated or tested to verify conformance with its specifications.
If the unit fails to operate or fails to meet the performance specifications, notify the carrier's agent and
the nearest Valhalla Sales Office. Retain the shipping carton for the carrier's inspection. DO NOT return
equipment to Valhalla Scientific, Inc., or any of its sales offices prior to obtaining authorization to do so.
Power Requirements
The Model 4314Ki is powered by four internal rechargeable heavy-duty Nickel–metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries. The batteries are charged by an external AC/DC converter that plugs into a standard receptacle.
The AC adapter can accept an input voltage from 100 to 240 Vac (50-60Hz) and an output of 9VDC @
305mA.
The 4314Ki can also support supplies from 6V to 9Vdc @ 300mA to 1.25A.
The unit is equipped with a 2A Fast Blow fuse installed on the rear panel.
To charge the batteries, the device must be:
1.
In Battery Mode
2.
Turned Off
3.
Connected to the power Supply/Charger.
The battery pack may power the 4314Ki for up to 18 hours before requiring a recharge.
Although the batteries are fully charged prior to shipment, it may be desirable to refresh the charge for
24 hours before use. It takes approximately 16 hours to fully charge the batteries.
In Continuous Power Mode, the 4314Ki will function uninterrupted while connected to the power supply.
While in this mode, the batteries are not under charge, even is the device is turned off.
Installation
The Model 4314Ki consumes little power and generates virtually no heat. Consequently, it may be used
in any area where the environment does not exceed the temperature specifications of Chapter 3.
