5. Charging Battery
The MD-5075x uses a rechargeable Ni-MH 12V – 3Ah battery. This battery
should be recycled at the end of its service life or placed in an appropriate
site, in order to protect the environment.
Charging Procedure:
Test if the MD-5075x is off and connect it to the mains. The charging
indicator (led over key
Χ
) will turn on red and will remain that way until the
battery is totally charged. Then the light will remain green and keep in that
way until the MD-5075x is disconnected of the mains. If the equipment is
turned on, the charging procedure will be momentarily interrupted, with the
mains supplying the operation of the MD-5075x till it is again turned off.
Note: the battery losses part of its charge slowly, even when it is not under
use. Before using this device, or after not using it for a long time, the battery
may need to be recharged.
6. Connecting the MD-5075x
ATTENTION: Bearing in mind operator’s safe working conditions,
procedures detailed below should be carried out with the device being in
OFF position.
Please, do check there is no difference of potential voltages between the
points where the MD-5075x shall be connected to. Please, check the same
between those points and the ground. Connect the red cable security
terminal to the megohmmeter (-V) output terminal, the BNC terminal of the
black cable to the zero reference (+R) terminal and the “alligator” terminals
to the element to be measured as indicated in the figure detailed below.
