3.6 Charging batteries
Do not charge batteries with the sensor head attached to the meter. Do not
attempt to use the meter while batteries are being charged.
The CLAVIS Belt Frequency Meter is compatible with rechargeable
batteries and charging unit. A convenient 3,5 mm, positive centre charging
socket is located on the bottom end of the meter body adjacent to the sensor
cable plug-in port.
Batteries: 1 300 mAh minimum (IDS accessory)
Charging unit: 12 to 15 volt DC output (IDS accessory)
Connection: 3,5 mm positive tip mini plug/socket
The built in circuit of the meter controls the charging current. Charging current
is internally limited to 100 mA. Charging time is typically 12 to 14 hours for a
full charge.
You may turn the unit on while charging. The meter’s software will then signal
that the batteries are charging. The display window will fl ash an array of zeros,
starting with only one and progressing to four. There will be an audible signal of
four 'beeps' as the display changes.
Suitable rechargeable batteries and charger may be obtained directly from IDS.

Each time a reading is taken the value is transmitted through the RS232 serial
port. The following protocol is employed; Baud Rate 9600, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit. The value string is terminated by a ‘CR’, (Decimal 13). Output is through a 9
way ‘D’ type plug, (Pin 5 common, Pin 3 Transmit). Handshaking is not employed.
