Charging the Battery
This chapter discusses the methods available for charging the internal battery
and for continuously powering the 2000 instruments from an AC power
supply.
Note:
Charge the battery with the IE-BAT interface option enabled, although
the time taken to recharge will be extended when the instrument is in this
condition.
The Internal Battery
The 2000 instruments are powered from an internal sealed lead-acid battery.
The battery is fully charged when shipped from Xitron Technologies. During
shipping or storage the battery may discharge. We recommend the battery be
recharged for at least 12 hours prior to its initial use. Use the charging unit
provided by Xitron Technologies to charge the internal battery and to operate
this instrument. Ensure that the included charging unit is compatible with
your local power ratings and socket connection.
Caution:
If using an external DC supply other than the provided charger
ensure the selected charger’s output voltage is: 12V at 1.5A and the center
conductor is positive polarity.
To Charge the Battery
A full charge to the internal battery is achieved by inserting the small plug of
the charging unit into the socket in a recess of the rear panel and then
plugging the charging unit into a suitable AC power outlet.
