“OV-DMC 3” Troubleshooting
EN
9. Troubleshooting
9.1 Low charging status
If the appliance's battery charge is insufficient,
the appliance will switch itself off automatically.
During storage, the charge reduces
due to self-discharge. The discharg-
ing process is heavily dependent on
the temperature (approx. 1 % loss
per month on average).
f
Before storing the appliance for
long periods, charge the battery
to at least 50 %.
f
When storing for longer periods,
check the battery charge at inter-
vals of 3 to 4 months. Charge the
battery as soon as your software
shows a charge of less than
40 %.
f
The ideal conditions are cool
storage at a charge of around
50 %.
f
Store the product in a dry envi-
ronment.
f
You can increase the service life
of the battery by not storing it
fully charged.
WARNING
Explosion and fire hazard
If you connect the “OV-DMC 3” sensor
to the charger after the batteries have
been deeply discharged, the battery
may heat up so much that it catches
fire or explodes.
f
The battery is permanently
installed in the “OV-DMC 3”
measuring system and cannot be
removed. “OV-DMC 3” sensors
with deep-discharged batteries
cannot be repaired. Dispose of the
product appropriately.
f
Connect the product to the power supply
provided.
f
Plug the power supply into a power socket.
9.2 Damage caused by falling
WARNING
Fire hazard
A damaged battery can heat up so
strongly that it catches fire.
f
Isolate the product in a fireproof
area.
f
Monitor the product.
WARNING
Danger of chemical burns and
poisoning
Aggressive electrolyte may discharge
from a damaged battery and lead to
chemical burns and poisoning.
f
Avoid skin contact with discharged
electrolytes.
f
Clean up discharged liquids using
suitable equipment and dispose of
them appropriately.
