Steps to Reset Model H Battery to Begin Taking a Charge
There are a number of safety features associated with the battery in the Model H assembly.
Certain requirements are necessary in order to achieve certification as an intrinsically safe
instrument. One of these safety features is an automatic “kill switch” that will shut off power
to the instrument due to a detected voltage surge, or if the voltage capacity on the battery
drops below 10%. When the shut off occurs, the battery will not begin taking a charge unless
the battery is reset.
Please take the following steps to reset the battery:
1) With the instrument completely powered down, plug the wall charger into the
instrument and the outlet. The light on the charger will show "green" due to the fact
that the charge is not reaching the battery.
2) The pin-hole reset button is located in the upper right hand corner of the Model H front
panel. The end of a paper clip should be inserted the button inside the pin hole
depressed for three full seconds.
3) Upon removal of the paper clip, the light on the charger should turn red if the battery
was able to reset.
4) After the charger turns red, allow the Model H to charge for several hours before you
turn it back on or try to remove it from the power source.
