By pressing the ON-OFF button again the PCE-VM 25 switches itself off. In addition, the instrument has an automatic shut-off timer for saving the battery power (cf.
Chapter 4.4).
4.3. Battery Display and Battery Type
In the upper left corner of the PCE-VM 25 display there is a battery level indicator (10). When the green battery symbol is full, the battery is fully charged.
Figure 10: Battery indicator upper left / Figure 11: Select battery type
While non-rechargeable batteries have a cell voltage of 1.5 V, NiMH rechargeable batteries deliver only 1.2 V per cell. The PCE-VM 25 battery indicator can be adjusted to both
voltages. To adjust the voltage, open the main menu by pressing F3 and scroll through the menu options by repeatedly pressing the ▼ button until you reach ‚Instrument
Settings‘, then press OK.
Within the sub-menu select “Battery type” (Figure 11) by following the same instructions as before and then by pressing▼ select between “Alkaline” (nonrechargeable,
1.5 V) or “NiMH accu” (rechargeable, 1.2 V). Confirm your choice by pressing OK and exit the menu by pressing F3 repeatedly.
If the power supply drops below 3.3 V when using alkaline batteries or below 3 V with rechargeable batteries, the battery indicator becomes red. Further measurements
can be taken until the power supply reaches 2.8 V in keeping with the instrument specifications. At this point the battery level indicator is completely empty and the
instrument switches itself off automatically.
If the PCE-VM 25 is connected to a USB port, it will be supplied by the USB voltage in order to spare the batteries. In this case, “external” is displayed on the screen
instead of the battery level indicator.
4.4. Shut-off Timer
The PCE-VM 25 has a shut-off timer to help prolong the battery operating life. To set the shut-off timer, open the main menu by pressing F3. Scroll down into the sub-menu
‚Instrument Settings‘ by pressing▼and OK, and within this sub-menu select the menu option “Shut off Timer”. Press keys ▼▲ to select the timer duration from the options
1, 5, 15 and 60 minutes or to deactivate the timer select (‚none‘). The switch off timer starts to run after the last press of a button. If any button is pressed then the timer
restarts and counts down again according to the duration selected.
