Scale-Tronix 5002 - Power Supply; Charger Option; Storage Recommendations; Maintenance Procedures; Factory Returns Process

3.80 POWER SUPPLY / CHARGER OPTION
A power supply / charger option is available
which eliminates the need for disposable dry cells to
operate the scale. This option may be ordered at the
time of the scale's purchase or added later (see section
2.90). It is available as a power supply only or as a
combination power supply / charger / rechargeable
battery. The addition of the charger and rechargeable
battery pack allows portable, cordless operation.
The battery is charged automatically any time the scale
is plugged-in, as indicated by the illuminated front panel
"CHARGE" annunciator. A fully discharged battery
requires approximately 8 - 12 hours to completely
recharge. During this period the scale may also be
used for patient weighing. Since there is no danger of
over-charging the battery the scale may be left plugged-
in continuously,
To obtain optimum performance, annual replacement of
the nickel-cadmium battery pack is recommended. It is
SCALE-TRONIX® part number 360002 / 20009.
3.80 STORAGE
The portable scales should be stored in a safe
place such as equipment storage room, closet, ею. К
is no longer necessary to store the scales near an
electrical outlet as in the past for recharging of the
batteries. Try not to leave the scales in a busy hallway
where somebody could trip on them or run into them
with a food cart, X-ray, etc.
