4.0. DC-180 AC / BATTERY OPERATION
The DC-180 can be operated with AC power or with the optional internal
battery. The battery will automatically charge whenever the scale is
plugged into AC power. The charging current is regulated by a battery
monitor circuit, so that the battery can not be overcharged.
The DC-180 system is powered internally at a low power level whenever
the scale is plugged into the AC line or the battery switch is in the “ON”
position. The battery power switch is located on the right side of the rear
panel. The front panel “ON/OFF” switch enables the display and
primary power.
When the battery switch is “ON” and the AC is not connected, a low level
battery current will flow even if the display is “OFF”. To prevent battery
discharge when stored turn the battery switch to “OFF” whenever unit is
not used.
Do not store the scale without turning off the battery power switch.
To Install Battery Option
1. Turn Scale On Side.
2. Remove Battery Compartment Cover.
3. Connect The Red Lead To (+ ) Positive Terminal Of Battery.
4. Connect The Black Lead To ( −)Terminal Of Battery.
5. Place Battery Into Compartment & Replace Battery Compartment Cover.
CHARGING TIME: FOR OPTIMUM USE AND BATTERY LIFE, THE DC-180 BATTERY
SHOULD BE FULLY CHARGED BEFORE EACH OPERATING RUN.
NOTE: Short Cycle Charging Will Reduce The Normal Use Time And Can Drastically
Reduce Battery Life.
The BP-180 battery is a sealed lead acid battery which needs to be charged
periodically, similar to a car battery, if the BP-180 is left on the shelf for several
months without being charged it will eventually drain to point that it can no longer be
charged!
