Technical specifications
102
•
Rechargeable NiMh batteries (size AA) are recommended. The charging
time and the operating hours are given for batteries with a nominal
capacity of 2500 mAh.
•
Do not use standard batteries while power supply adapter/charger is
connected, otherwise they may explode!
•
Do not mix batteries of different types, brands, ages, or charge levels.
•
When charging batteries for the first time, make sure to charge batteries for
at least 24 hours before switching on the instrument.
6.4.2 Batteries
Instrument contains rechargeable NiMh batteries. These batteries should only be
replaced with the same type as defined on the battery placement label or in this manual.
If it is necessary to replace batteries, all six have to be replaced. Ensure that the
batteries are inserted with the correct polarity; incorrect polarity can damage the
batteries and/or the instrument.
There may exist special environmental regulations concerning the disposal of the
batteries. These have to be followed.
Precautions on charging new batteries or batteries unused for a longer period
Unpredictable chemical processes can occur during charging new batteries or batteries
that were unused for a longer period of time (more than 3 months). NiMH and NiCd
batteries are affected to a various degree (sometimes called as memory effect). As a
result the instrument operation time can be significantly reduced at the initial
charging/discharging cycles.
Therefore it is recommended:
•
To completely charge the batteries
•
To completely discharge the batteries (can be performed with normal working
with the instrument).
•
Repeating the charge/discharge cycle for at least two times (four cycles are
recommended).
When using external intelligent battery chargers one complete discharging /charging
cycle is performed automatically.
After performing this procedure a normal battery capacity is restored. The operation
time of the instrument now meets the data in the technical specifications.
Notes
The charger in the instrument is a pack cell charger. This means that the batteries are
connected in series during the charging so all batteries have to be in similar state
(similarly charged, same type and age).
Even one deteriorated battery (or just of an another type) can cause an improper
charging of the entire battery pack (heating of the battery pack, significantly decreased
operation time).
If no improvement is achieved after performing several charging/discharging cycles the
state of individual batteries should be determined (by comparing battery voltages,
checking them in a cell charger etc). It is very likely that only some of the batteries are
deteriorated.
