The Battery
The UVe-LUX is powered by a single 9V PP3 style battery (K9V X/522 MX/MN 1604 A1604 6AM6
4022/1604A/6LR61). The battery is held in its own compartment which is accessible by unscrewing
the two screws holding the battery housing cover on the rear of the meter housing. Once the cover
has been removed the battery can accessed. The battery can only be fitted in one orientation with
the positive terminal of the battery being connected to the ‘+’ clip in the battery compartment.
The
battery should only be fitted in the orientation described, if the battery is forced in the wrong way
round damage may occur to the UVe-LUX meter.
The battery housing cover should then be
replaced and screwed back down.
It recommended that the battery should only be replaced with a new battery and not a previously
used one.
Figure 5 Battery compartment
With typical usage the battery should last for approximately 3 months, and should last over 2 years
with the unit powered off. It is recommended to replace the battery every 12 months and to
remove the battery when the UVe-LUX is to be stored for a long period of time without use. When
the battery indicator (see display section) is reading ‘LOW’ the battery should be replaced.
The
meter may not give accurate readings when the battery is low.
