Using the AC Power Adapter
The System 824’s “smart” charging
system is designed to detect alkaline
batteries and prevents accidental
charging. (See page 3-6)
You may use an external power source via the external
power connector using the provided power adapter. The Sys-
tem 824 accepts 6 to 15 VDC and is internally fused at 0.5
A.
Terminal
Assembly
If the System 824 is not being used
for long periods of time (1 month
or more), it is recommended that
the batteries be removed to avoid
damage to the instrument.
NOTE: Two Terminal assemblies are
provided though only one is used. The
second one is a spare. To avoid losing
them, keep them in the accessory kit in
the carrying case provided.
