PrimeLog with integral modem (Model 2M)
PrimeLog units are powered by an internal battery with a design life of five years or more,
depending on the nature of use. However, it should be noted that battery life will be affected
significantly by temperature. If the unit is operated continually above 30°C or below 0°C then
battery life will be reduced. All models have the option of an internal PSTN modem powered
by an additional internal battery. These models’ casings have been lengthened to
accommodate the extra cells.
1.2.1.1
Auxiliary battery unit
An auxiliary battery unit containing 6 C-size alkaline cells is available to supply additional
power to digital sensors with heavy current demands. When such a sensor is selected for a
logger (using Logger Setup and the Digital tab options – see the
PrimeLog Menu
section of
the PrimeWare manual), a warning message is displayed to advise the user of the need to
use the unit. The disposable pack is fully encapsulated to meet IP68 and connects to the
logger through the Comms connector.
Because of the connection method, the auxiliary battery pack is connected to the logger after
programming and has to be disconnected temporarily when communicating with the logger.
This will result in the logger not recording data from the digital sensor during periods of
disconnection.
All battery voltages may be monitored continually and alarms generated if any voltage falls
below the preset threshold – see the
Battery Warning Setup
section of the PrimeWare User
Manual for more information.
