the DC power source using a cable as described above.
4.5.3 Optional Battery Pack (R&S FPL1-B31)
As an alternative to the fixed AC or DC power supply, the R&S FPL1000 also
allows for battery operation. The "Battery Pack" option R&S FPL1-B31 comprises
two Li-ion batteries and an internal charger. The internal charger charges the bat-
teries whenever the instrument is connected to AC or DC power. During opera-
tion, if neither DC nor AC power is supplied, the R&S FPL1000 automatically
switches to battery operation.
The battery pack can be retrofitted by Rohde&Schwarz service.
For safety information, see "Handling batteries safely" on page 10.
Charging batteries
Charge the batteries before using battery operation for the first time. Following a
long storage period, it can be necessary to charge and discharge the batteries
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:
●
If inserted in the R&S FPL1000, batteries are charged via the common AC or
DC power supply.
●
You can also use the external battery charger R&S FSV-B34 to charge up to 4
batteries.
●
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.
