Battery care
- The battery should be completely charged before use.
- Note that the maximum capacity of the battery is achieved only after about
six charging and discharging cycles.
- Since the performance of batteries declines over time, they should be
completely discharged occasionally to maintain their full capacity. When
doing this, leave the unit turned on until it turns itself off. Subsequently fully
charge the battery pack Ex-AM PMR 1000 outside of the Ex-area.
Battery replacement
- Only the approved battery module Ex-AM PMR 1000 may be used!
- Please ensure that all used batteries are properly disposed of in an
environmentallyfriendly manner.
Note:
Please use only the LS PMR 1000 charger to charge the Ex-battery module
Ex-AM PMR 1000!
High quality lithium-ion batteries are used in your Ex-PMR 1000. These bat-
teries have numerous advantages in everyday use, such as a low weight and
high capacity in a nevertheless compact construction. In addition these batte-
ries also exhibit practically no memory effect.
However, these batteries are susceptible to a natural ageing process which
impairs their functionality. Modern batteries today have a lifespan of around
500 charge cycles, which, when used daily, corresponds to a service life of
approximately 2 years. The ageing process increases rapidly after this period,
which means that the batteries are deemed technically defective after 500
charge cycles. Moreover, the batteries could blow up and cause irreparable
damage to your device in a worst case scenario.
For this reason rechargeable batteries with lithium cells should be replaced
after 2 years at the latest or after reaching a battery capacity that is 50% of its
initial value.
Note: The battery used in this unit poses a fire hazard and can cause che-
mical injuries if it is used improperly. Neither the battery nor the battery
cells should be opened or disassembled and they should not be burned or
exposed to temperatures exceeding 100°C.
