2.5 - Battery Care
Maintenance of Ron 2501 batteries for top performance
The standard system is powered by two AA 1.5V disposable alkaline batteries in bothe
the indicator and load cell.
Batteries rated 3AH will result in at least 2000 hours of battery life (more than two
months of continuous use). Occasional use will extend the battery life up to several
years. Optional extended battery life: 4000 hours.
The display will show LO:BAT when the batteries need to be replaced. Once
LO:BAT is displayed, you still have several hours of operation left. If the battery level
gets too low, the system will automatically power down in order to avoid damage from
low voltage.
When the system is turned on, the batteries' energy level is displayed as a percentage
e.g 100%. Battery level can also be checked from the menu.
Replacing the batteries
Indicator:
Use a screwdriver to remove the back cover of the indicator. Gently remove the
battery holder from the indicator being careful not to damage the wiring. Replace the
batteries with two fresh AA 1.5V disposable alkaline high quality high energy batteries.
Load Cell:
Use a screwdriver or your thumbs to loosen the screws of the panel on the back of the
load cell.
