7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
77
If the instrument is switched on when it is placed in the
basestation the charging progress will be displayed on the
instrument.
If a dry-cell instrument is inadvertently placed in the
basestation no damage will occur due to a built-in safety
system.
In the event that the rechargeable battery packs needs to be
replaced or the dry-cell adaptors are to be used to power the
instrument, the battery cover screws (see Section 1.2 Product
overview) are released using the built-in tool (see Section 1.2
Product overview) and the sealed units removed.
Replacement rechargeable packs are inserted into the
compartments and the covers replaced.
The full fast charge time for a pair of fully discharged battery
packs is 7 hours indicated by two of the red alarm LEDs
flashing approximately every 2 seconds. After this period the
instrument will trickle charge the battery packs indefinitely
shown by the green LEDs being constantly illuminated.
7.3.2 Dry cell
If dry cells are to be used the specific
adaptors must be used to comply with
certification. Ensure the orientation of
the individual cells is correct, and that
they are all of the following types:
Duracell MN1500
Energizer Intelligent E91.
WARNING
Use of any other dry-cell battery will render the intrinsic
safety approval of the instrument void.
