4 Thermometer Power Supply
4.1 Fitting and changing the Battery
The
Cyclops 160B
portable thermometer is designed to be powered by a 9V
dry cell battery. A Duracell 6LR61/MN1604 (or equivalent) battery is supplied
with the thermometer. The battery is fitted as follows:
1) Before inserting or changing the battery, ensure that
the thermometer is switched OFF.
2) The battery cover is on the top surface of the
thermometer body (see Fig. 4-1).
3) Press down on the finger grip of the battery cover to
disengage the cover catch and slide the cover back
to fully expose the battery compartment (see Fig.
4-2).
4) Align the battery such that the terminals correspond
with the label in the battery compartment (see Fig.
4-3).
5) Insert the battery, ensuring that the contact springs
engage centrally into the battery terminals. Slide
the battery cover back into place and ensure that
the cover catch engages with the thermometer
chassis (see Fig. 4-4).
6) With the battery fitted, switch the instrument on and
check for correct operation (see Section 7.0). When
switched on, a battery power indicator appears in
the LCD display panel, which gives an indication of
how much power is left in the battery.
When the battery needs replacing, the battery
indicator on the LCD display panel will flash. To
prolong the remaining battery life, the display
backlight and ‘
Bluetooth
’ should be switched off.
The battery should be changed as soon as possible
in order to ensure that the readings from the
instrument remain within specification.
