Eilon Engineering Ltd. RON 2501 NG Operating Manual 9
Batteries rated 3AH will function for 1500 hours in good radio reception
conditions.
This represents more than two months of continuous working. Occasional use will
extend battery life up to several years.
There are “low battery” warnings on the display. One for the load cell and the other
for the indicator:
The load cell: T.L.BAT = Transmitter Low Battery
The indicator: R.L.BAT = Receiver Low Battery
When the Low Battery sign first appears, several hours still remain before the
system will shut down as self-protection against damage from too low voltage.
The system can function with rechargeable batteries instead of the disposable ones.
You may use the NiMH AA size 1.2V rechargeable batteries (minimum 1800mAH
or higher).
You can use regular chargers that can be purchased in electric & or electronic
equipment shops. In this case you will have to charge the batteries outside the
system.
Warning!
Do not charge disposable batteries. They may explode.
Option
: Rechargeable batteries complete with a charger for charging the batteries
when they are inside the system.
The system includes internal charging circuits: one in the load cell and the other in
the indicator. The charger has two separate output single pin connectors (jacks) for
connecting to the sealed receptacles. When not in use, seal the receptacle using the
special threaded cup.
The batteries should be recharged:
1. Prior to using the unit for the first time.
2. Before use, if more than two months have elapsed since the last charge.
3. When the low battery sign blinks on the display.
A full charge will take 10-14 hours.
