Charging the
Battery
With the power components properly connected (see
“External Power Components” on page 12 ) the DSAM
battery can be charged when outside of the meter or when
installed in the meter.
1 For typical battery charging (fast charge or maximum
capacity) and normal operational values, refer to
Table 5 .
2 For battery charge LED indications refer to Table 6 on
page 15 .
The charging time will be the same whether the power
is on or off.
When you power the meter directly with an AC or a DC
power source, this source automatically charges the
battery while providing power on a separate path with no
degradation to the meter’s direct power. When the battery
is fully charged, the charger module provides a mainte-
nance charge from the power source.
Interpreting
the Battery
LED’s
There are two LED indicator lights located on the bottom
of your DSAM battery (refer to
Figure 3 on page 15 ) – the
red “CHARGE” LED and the green “OK” LED.
NOTE
You can power the DSAM meter and recharge the bat-
teries at the same time.
