The charging time is be the same whether the power is on or off.
When you power the meter directly with an AC or a DC power
source, this source automatically charges the battery while
providing power on a separate path with no degradation to the
meter’s direct power. When the battery is fully charged, the
charger module provides a maintenance charge from the power
source. The charger module automatically identifies the type of
battery being charged. No battery configuration is required.
Understanding the
Standard Capacity
Battery LED’s
There are two LED indicator lights on your DSAM Product Family
Series standard capacity charger module -- the “Power” LED and the
“Charge” LED.
The green “Power” LED illuminates to indicate that the charger module
is receiving power.
The “Charge” LED illuminates in red, green, or orange to indicate the
present battery and charge condition. It may remain on constantly, or
it may begin to flash. To interpret the “Charge” LED indications, review
