Battery life
The testostor 171 series is equipped with long-life Li
batteries which guarantee operation for several years.
Battery life is reduced by above-average PC
communication e.g. by longer online measurements. The
calculated remaining capacity is given in percent. The
diagram below provides information on the battery life
possible with testostor 171-0.

Changing batteries - Battery life
If your measurement program exceeds the remaining
calculated battery life or if the logger interrupts the
measurement series due to insufficient battery capacity
(warning appears) the battery must be changed. The
logger usually stops the data measurement
independently just before the end of the battery life so
that the logger can be read with the remaining battery
capacity.
When a battery is changed, the saved measured data
is lost (the calibration data is saved). In case of
emergency, please contact an authorised service
point.
You can change the battery yourself using the battery
set which is available as an accessory (Item no.
0515.0018). Please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the black cover plugs at the back of the
instrument. Unscrew the 4 screws crosswise and
remove the screws.
2. Attach the enclosed jumper to the two pins on the
circuit board (near the battery minus connection).
3. Unscrew the screws on the battery terminals, take
out the old battery and dispose of it responsibly.
4. Put in the new battery. Select the correct polarity in
accordance with the length of the connections pins.
Insert the battery so that it is located on the foamed
material between the circuit board and the edge of
the housing.
5. Tighten the terminals.
6. Now remove the jumper.
7. Change the O ring on the cover.
The guaranteed
protection class
of IP65/68 applies
only if handled
with care.
To protect the lithium battery, the maximum
permissible storage and transport
temperature in the instruments is + 85 °C.
