PM5A2
3. Charging Battery
The PM5A2 uses a rechargeable LiFePO4 12 V
– 6000 mAh
.
At the end of battery useful life, the battery must be recycled
or disposed of properly, in order to protect the environment.
Charging Procedure:
Check if the PM5A2 is turned-off and connect it to the mains (AC adapter).
The charging indicator (
) will turn on red and will remain that way until the battery is fully
charged. The light will remain green and stay that way until the PM5A2 is disconnected from the mains.
Alternate green and
red lights
Evaluation of the battery initial status
when the source is connected, during
one second.
Steady red light
Battery under charge.
Flashing red light
The battery was not successfully
charged. It denotes some trouble in the
battery charging process.
Steady green light
The charge has successfully finished.
The battery is OK.
The rechargeable battery does not have “memory effect;” there are no
restrictions to start charging it as many times as is needed. However, the
battery could be damaged if it remains in deep discharge for a while.
To avoid this effect, charge the battery before placing the equipment in
storage and recharge within 30 days, even if the instrument wasn’t used
(when stored, the battery loses part of its charge).
IMPORTANT
: While the equipment is connected to the mains supply, the
START key is inhibited; measurements cannot be made.
