Auxiliary Functions
Power
The BERT-20E1 is primarily powered by five, rechargeable, nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) batteries. An auxiliary power connector (which is
provided with the BERT-20E1) is available for use with an AC/DC power
adapter. The ON/OFF switch is located on the front panel of the BERT-
20E1. Battery status is monitored and displayed with the BATTERY
STATUS indicator, located on the front panel.
Batteries
The BERT-20E1 contains five, 1.2V, 4Ahr. NiMH, rechargeable batteries.
These batteries will provide approximately eight hours of continuous
operation (when fully charged). The charging voltage is 9 VDC and the
rated current is 1.4 A. A regulated 9 VDC, 1.5 A power adapter may be
used for charging. Recharge time is typically 4-6 hours depending on
how deeply the batteries have been discharged.
The BERT-20E1 batteries are not serviceable. To recharge the batteries,
connect the 9 VDC power source to the DC jack located on the front
panel. The test set will charge during operation, but it is recommended
that the unit is turned off when not in use to fully charge the unit. To
determine the charging status, observe the red and green LEDs located
on the lower front panel of the BERT-20E1. The red LED illuminates
when the battery is in the charging state. The green LED illuminates
when the battery is in maintenance charge. If both LEDs are off, the
batteries are either absent from the test set or do not fall within the
proper temperature range to charge the batteries. If both LEDs are
illuminated, the battery is not properly charging and you must return the
BERT-20E1 to Megger for repair.
