Maintenance
WARNING:
There are no user serviceable components inside this instrument. The covers
on this instrument should not be removed or opened for servicing, calibration
or any other purpose except by a factory-authorized person. To do so may
result in exposure to invisible laser radiation that can cause eye injury.
6.1.
Charging the Battery
To charge the battery, connect the battery charger module AC power cord to an AC
power outlet and the battery charger DC plug to the socket on the side of the
AEROCET 831. The universal battery charger will work with power line voltages of 100
to 240 volts, at 50/60 Hz. The battery charger LED indicator will be Red when charging
and Green when fully charged. A discharged battery pack will take approximately 2.5
hours to fully charge.
When fully charged, the battery will power the AEROCET 831 for approximately 8 hours
of continuous sampling or 24 hours of intermittent sampling. For extended operation,
operate the unit with the battery charger attached. Also, charge the battery before
storing the AEROCET 831. Storing a discharged battery will degrade its performance.
