OMICRON 27
MPD 800 measurement system
Battery charging and capacity information
RBP1 is designated only for use with the power supply shipped with RBP1. For the battery status,
see "Indicators" on page 30 or optionally the status information of the control software.
The required charging time depends on the charging level of the battery and may vary up to a few hours
for full charge for a single RBP1. The required charging time increases at lower temperatures and with
an increasing number of RBP1 devices in serial connection. Do not leave RBP1 on prolonged charge
when not in use.
After extended periods of storage, you may need to charge and discharge the cells or batteries several
times to obtain maximum performance.
To extend the battery life, observe the following recommendations:
► Store the battery at about 40 % charging level and at a low temperature (4 ºC/40 ºF). A refrigerator
provides good storage as long as the temperature does not drop below 0 ºC/32 ºF.
► Never fully discharge the battery (below 9 V). Avoid a deep discharge at any time.
► Charge the battery early and often.
► Always charge the battery at least every four months to prevent deep discharge.
Figure 2-14 "Typical charge setup" on page 28 shows a typical charge setup. To connect RBP1 devices
to each other or to the MPD 800 acquisition unit, use the battery connection cable shipped with the
RBP1.
Note: The battery connection cable is shielded. The housings of the connected measuring devices and
RBP1 are connected electrically, too.
NOTICE
Equipment damage possible
► Do not use RBP1 for powering MPD 500/600, MI 540/600, PDL 650, and UHF 608/620 devices.
► Do not use any adapter cable to connect the RBP1 power connector to the legacy connector.
Otherwise, the legacy device will be damaged irreversibly.
►Use RBP1 only for powering the OMICRON devices as specified in and in accordance with the
relevant documentation.
