Note: The charger circuit of the 1919-R is designed to allow the charger to be plugged in for an
extended period without causing damage to the battery.

Note:
Battery charge will be depleted faster if a USB Flash Drive (Disk on Key) is left plugged into
the 1919-R meter
.
The battery charge is indicated by the icon. The battery charge is shown approximately by each
segment of the icon, for example, when 2 segments are shown, the battery is ½ full. When the
battery is charging, the segments turn on in sequence. When the battery is low, the charger should
be plugged in. While the unit will charge even while on and even with the backlight on, it will
charge fastest if the charger is left in while the unit is off.

Analog Output
The 1919-R provides an analog voltage output via the 2.5mm mono jack socket on the rear panel
marked “AN OUT” (see
). The 1919-R is supplied with the mating adapter plug
that connects to this socket. The analog output is useful for driving chart recorders and other
analog devices. The voltage is proportional to the reading on the display and scaled such that full
scale equals 1, 2, 5, or 10 volts as selected during setup.
To set the analog output voltage:
1.
Use the up (
↑
) /down (
↓
) Navigation keys to select
Max An. Output
and press the
Enter
key.
2.
Select the relevant voltage setting (
1V
,
2V
,
5V
,
10V
).
3.
Press the
Enter
key to exit this selection screen and save the new setting.
The analog output is driven through an impedance of 100ohm. For best accuracy, is recommended
to limit the external load to 100K (or larger). A smaller load (down to 1K) is possible, but may
result in loss of accuracy.
