Low Battery Warning
When the LI-6400 battery voltage drops below 11V, a low battery warning
appears on the top line of the display, regardless of what application (if any)
is running. The message appears every 2 seconds until the voltage rises above
11V, at which time a ÒBattery OKÓ message replaces the warning. If the volt-
age drops below 10.5V, the warning changes to a 60 second countdown, after
which the unit is powered OFF. If the batteries are not replaced, or you do not
turn off some of the power draining devices (i.e., LED light source, thermo-
electric coolers, etc.), the LI-6400 will turn itself OFF when the count reaches
zero.
Performing without a net
If you ever need to extend operation a few more minutes, and are facing an
immanent shutdown due to a low battery, here is a way to buy some time.
From OPENÕs main screen, press
K
, and type the following at the ok prompt:
0 lowwarn
and press
enter
. Then press
escape
to get back to the main screen. This com-
mand disables the software low battery warning behavior. The instrument
will now operate to about 7 or 8 volts, at which point it will die with no warn-
ing. Three notes of caution: 1) There is no guarantee of the time you have
gained. It depends on how much current you are drawing from the batteries,
and their state. 2) As voltage drops toward the death point, you start running
a risk of measurement errors, due to reference voltages shifting. 3) Get those
batteries on a charger as soon as you can. Do not let them sit around after pull-
ing them down that far.
To re-enable low battery warnings, enter
1 lowwarn
at the ok prompt.
