4.5.3 Connecting an Optional Battery Pack (R&S FPL1-B31)
As an alternative to the fixed AC or DC power supply, the R&S FPL1000 can be
operated by a battery pack if the option R&S FPL1-B31 is installed. If the battery
pack is installed and neither DC nor AC power is supplied, the R&S FPL1000
automatically switches to battery operation (during operation).
The R&S FPL1000 comes with the battery pack already installed if the battery
option was ordered together with the instrument. Otherwise, insert the battery
packs in the slots at the top of the rear panel.
For safety information, see "Handling batteries safely" on page 10.
Charging batteries
Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Following a long storage
period, it can be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times to
reach full capacity.
For batteries from third parties, follow the instructions provided by the manufac-
turer. For batteries manufactured by Rohde & Schwarz, observe the following:
●
For charging, use the R&S FPL1000. The battery pack is charged via the
common AC or DC power supply.
●
Charge in a temperature range from +0 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature is
above or below these values, or the temparature varies strongly, charging is
interrupted. If the battery temperature rises above +53 °C, charging is stop-
ped.
●
Try not to overcharge the battery too often because overcharging reduces the
service life of the battery.
When the battery is being charged in standby mode, the [Power] LED
blinks. During operation, the status bar indicates that the battery is
being charged.
