The Switch Analyzer is a field-test equipment and is constructed to withstand the handling it requires to fulfil its
purposes, although the front panel is sensitive for scratches and other marks. The display is the most sensitive point
of the
SA10A
, it will not tolerate harsh management. This should be considered during unpacking and handling of the

Recharge by connecting the mains power cable for at least 12 hours.
•
Check battery condition.
By short circuiting the high current cables (2*10 m, 25 mm2) and make a resistance measurement. The measurement
current should be >195A.
If the value is lower than 195 A you have to charge the internal battery by connecting the mains input to a wall socket
for some hours. Make a new try and check the current value again.
If the value still is lower than 195 A the battery must be replaced.
Note!
This is important if Resistance measurement shall be done.
