2 ‘AA’ Batteries are required to operate the Nova 950. A charger has been
provided with the 950 for use with the included high density NiMH batteries.
The gage can also be operated with standard Alkaline batteries as well,
however, it is VERY important that you switch the battery selector switch to
the appropriate position. Attempting to charge alkaline batteries will result in
the batteries leaking and potentially, seriously damaging the unit. This will
void warranty. We suggest you use NDT Systems replacement high density
NiMH batteries.
The charger also serves to charge as well as operate the Nova 950 for
extended periods of time. An average charge cycle from depleted batteries
is 4-5 hours.
The Nova 950 offers the ability to select either USB or RS232 for interface
to a PC where required. A driver (supplied) is necessary to operate the USB
connection. The switch located to the left of the RS-232 Connector is used
for the selection. W hen in the left position, the RS-232 is active. W hen in
the right hand position, the USB port is active.
NOTE:
The optional foots witch used for data logging to a PC will only function with
the RS-232 port currently.
