Instrument power supply
The analyser is equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable internal Li-Ion battery.
The battery is used to power the instrument and potentially the connected probes and external devices. The battery life is about 18
hours.
In the event that the battery is too low to perform the measurements, it is possible to continue operations (including analysis) by
connecting the analyser to the mains power supply using the supplied transformer. Doing this allows the battery to be recharged at the
same time.
The battery charging cycle can last up to 6 hours for full charging and will end automatically.
CAUTION: If the instrument is not used for a long time (e. g. during the hot season), it is recommended to store it after
a full charge and, in any event, to carry out a charging cycle at least once every 4 months.
7.3.1
Checking and replacing the batteries
The status of the internal battery can be viewed during the calibration period of the analyser or later in the information menu. In this
menu, the residual charge of the battery is displayed.
If the battery life is too short, carry out a complete discharge of the battery followed by a complete 100% recharge cycle by supplying
power to the instrument for 3 hours. If the problem persists, replace the battery with an original Sauermann battery or contact the
SERVICE CENTRE for repair.
The average battery life is 500 charge/discharge cycles. To take full advantage of this feature, it is recommended to always use the device
powered by the internal batteries and to recharge it only when the instrument displays the low battery notification.
The instrument can be stored for a given period of time depending on the battery charge level (see table below).

Use with external power supply
The analyser can work with a discharged battery by connecting it to the external transformer that is supplied.

Generate a QR code
By pressing the + keys at the same time, the instrument generates and displays a QR code on the screen to download the
measurement data once the "SMARTFLUE LITE MOBILE" application has been installed (downloadable from app stores).
