2-5 Rack Mounting
The ML243xA can be ordered with rack mounting hardware that allows it to be mounted into
a standard 48 cm equipment rack. There are two rack mount option kits available:
• The 2400-82 Rack Mount option allows the installation of a single ML243xA in either
the left or right side rack position.
• The 2400-83 Rack Mount option allows side-by-side mounting of two ML243xA.
Refer to the instructions that come with the mounting kit for installation.
2-6 Battery Charging, Removal and Replacement
The optional ML243xA Power Meter battery is a 12 Volt, 3000 mA-h nickel-metal hydride
(Ni-MH) multi-cell pack, located in a compartment on the bottom of the housing. The
compartment cover is secured by fractional turn fasteners, as shown in the figure below.
Rotate the fasteners approximately 1/4-turn counter-clockwise to release the cover.
The life of the battery (the number of useful charges and available operating time) can be
extended by correct use. It is also possible to recover some of the performance of a battery
after is has been used incorrectly.
1. A battery will be damaged if left inside a power meter when the power meter is not used
for a period longer than two weeks. Do not leave a battery in a power meter if it is not
being used.
2. Best charging of the battery is achieved by using the optional external battery charger.
3. It is not recommended for a battery to be charged with the power meter internal
charger. However, the power meter can charge a well-maintained battery.
4. A battery should always be fully discharged before being re-charged. Fit the battery to
the power meter and discharge the battery before charging. The battery charge level
