Battery Use for Portable Operation
A fully charged battery will allow a Setra scale to operate for approximately 24 hours before recharg-
ing is needed. The battery will last one-half as long or about 12 hours if the scale is equipped with
either a Remote Scale Option or an Auto Count 200. If the scale is equipped with both the Remote
Scale Option and an Auto Count 200, the battery will only last one-third as long, or eight hours if fully
charged. The “low bat” indicating light on the front panel of the scale will light up approximately one
hour before recharging is necessary. When battery power is too low for proper scale operation the
circuit will automatically shut off the battery and the scale will cease operation.
Replacement batteries can be ordered from Setra Systems (part number 404620.)
Battery Charging
When the “low bat” indicator light on the front panel of the scale turns on, use the following procedure
to recharge the battery:
1. Plug the AC Adaptor, (Setra part number 404712) into an electrical outlet, and plug the power
cable into the scale. Do not remove the battery. The scale will automatically recharge the
battery from the electrical outlet.
2. The “low bat” indicator light will remain on during recharging until the battery reaches 40% of
its rated capacity. This will take about 2.5 hours with the scale power switch in the “ON” posi-
tion, and 2 hours and 10 minutes with the switch “OFF”. A battery powering a scale alone will
reach 95% of its rated capacity in 8 hours if the power switch is in the “ON” position and in 7
hours if the switch is “OFF”. Note that the indicator light will not light up if the scale switch is
“OFF”.
3. If the scale is equipped to power a Remote Scale Option or the Auto Count 200 from the scale’s
battery, it is recommended that battery recharging be done with the scale power switch in the
“OFF” position.
4. The “bat charge” indicating light on the front panel of the scale will stay on until the battery
reaches 95% of its rated capacity. Note that the “bat charge” light will not be lit if the scale
power switch is in the “OFF” position.
Battery charging time may vary slightly depending upon the temperature in the scale operating
environment. For applications requiring continuous scale operation it is recommended that the
battery be removed from the scale and recharged using the external battery charger(Setra part
number 404719).
