Battery and Charger
The Model 699A07 can be operated from AC line power or from its internal
rechargeable battery. When the external power supply is connected, it becomes the
primary power source, operating the unit while simultaneously charging the battery.
NOTE: It is good practice to perform calibrations on battery power. Disconnecting
from line power ensures a power surge will not cause the calibrator to power down
during test. If excess current is detected during use, the portable calibrator shuts
down to prevent damage.
Battery power is supplied by a sealed solid gel lead acid 12 VDC rechargeable
battery. The battery can be permanently damaged if completely drained. To
prevent damage, the 699A07 will automatically shut off when the battery power level
gets too low. Suggested Best Practice: Keeping the battery fully charged ensures
the unit is always ready for use.
Under mild operating conditions (lower mass transducers at lower test amplitudes),
a fully charged battery will allow the 699A07 to operate for up to 18 hours. The
charge life of the battery depends on both the length of use and the amount of
power (dependent upon payload, frequency and amplitude) required for a particular
test. When testing requires high vibration levels, the charge life will be shorter than
during less rigorous testing. For example, continuous testing of 100 gram payload
at 10 g pk will drain the battery charge in approximately 1 hour.
A Battery Charge Indicator is displayed on the LCD screen to approximate the unit’s
remaining charge life. Replacement batteries (Model 600A26) and power
supplies/chargers (Model Number 600A25)
are available from IMI Sensors.
The 699A07 calibrators continuously monitor the state of battery charge during
operation, storage and charging. During operation, if the battery capacity falls near
minimum, the unit will shut off after approximately 2 minutes of inactivity rather than
the usual 20 minutes. During storage, if the battery voltage falls near the minimum,
the unit will go into deep sleep, requiring connection of AC power and reset of time
and date before resumption of operation. During charging, the unit continuously
displays charging indication and state of charge, depending upon operation level
and time of charge.
Battery Information and Care
• The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit for 20
hours before using for the first time. (The unit cannot be overcharged by
keeping it plugged into the power supply.)
• To recharge the unit, use only the universal power supply included. All
batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at
higher temperatures. A full charge cycle can take up to 20 hours.
• If not used for a prolonged period of time, recharge every 2 months.
• Suggested Best Practice: Charge unit fully prior to field use. Recharge
the unit as soon as possible after use.
