10 POWER REQUIREMENTS
The ALT-9000 is powered by a removable 14.8 v 6.6 Ah
Lithium Ion Battery. The battery charging circuit enables the
operator to recharge the battery anytime the unit is
connected to the AC Adapter. The ALT-9000 can operate
continuously utilizing the AC Adapter.
The internal battery is equipped to power the ALT-9000 for
four continuous hours of use. When the battery needs
charging the charge indicator illuminates a fast blinking
yellow. Closing the screen cover powers down the display.
The battery should be charged every three months
(minimum) or removed for long term inactive storage periods
of more than six months.
10.1
AC Power
The AC Adapter, supplied with the ALT-9000, operates over
a voltage range of 100 to 250 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz. The
battery charger operates whenever DC power (11 to 32 Vdc)
is applied to the Test Set with the supplied AC Adapter or a
suitable DC power source.
If the supply voltage is <11 V, the unit switches to internal
battery. If the voltage is >32 V, a 7 Amp resettable fuse on
the DC input port opens, protecting the test set. Reset fuse
by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord to the
unit.
When charging, the battery reaches an 100% charge in
approximately four hours. The Battery Charging temperature
range is 0° to 45° C, controlled by an internal battery
charger.
