PT900 User’s Manual
2.6.1 Connecting the Line Power (cont.)
The PT900 is powered by either a 100-240 VAC wall mount plug-in module or by a
Lithium Ion high-energy rechargeable smart battery pack. In either case, you must
connect the power cord to the Power connector (see Figure 44 below).
In normal operation mode, the PT900 can be operated with a battery pack in the
transmitter. When you receive the PT900, the battery pack is not fully charged. To
charge the battery pack, you must use an external power adapter with an input
rating of 100-240VAC and output rating of 12VDC. When the AC power adapter is
connected to the transmitter, the battery LED will start flashing, which indicates
that the battery is charging. When the battery LED is continuously
On, it indicates
that the battery is at full charge. When the external power adapter is removed, the
battery LED will be
Off.

WARNING! To ensure safe operation, do not turn the PT900 On
while the battery pack is being charged by an external power
adapter connected to a mains voltage of greater than 150VAC. If
the PT900 is turned
On in such a situation, make sure that you do
not touch the transducer connectors.
