Synchronizing The Battery Charge Indicator
The probe has internal circuitry to track the charge condition of the
batteries. NiMH batteries have a sharp discharge-curve knee, which
means there is little indication that the batteries are nearly discharged
prior to a low battery condition. The internal circuitry tracks the charging
and discharging currents of the batteries and displays the calculated
battery condition.
It is possible that the battery charge indication may lose synchronization
with the actual battery condition. A loss of synchronization may be
indicated by a low battery charge alert after the batteries were recently
fully charged. Loss of synchronization may also be indicated by short
battery life and premature low battery alert.
To synchronize the battery charge indicator:
1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the
charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.
3. Press the
DISCHARGE
button on the battery charger. The batteries
will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to
discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.
4. For best results, repeat the process once. However, it may be necessary
to repeat the process three times for proper synchronization. The
synchronization process may take up to 12 hours.
When completely charged, the battery indicator for the probe should
indicate a charge level of more than 90%.
Discharging a Battery
To discharge the batteries:
1. Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the
OFF
position or
the battery will not charge.
2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the
charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.
3. Press the
DISCHARGE
button on the battery charger. The batteries
will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to
discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.
