Battery Operation
All portable systems include battery chargers that operate from an AC voltage source. We
strongly recommend that you "form" and charge the battery before operating the system for
the first time.
The Charge Indicator LED
A battery status indicator shows the status of its internal battery and charging circuits. The
indicator LED color switches between red or green based upon the flowmeter operation.
LED Battery Condition
Green Trickle charge in progress
Red Rapid Charge in progress (flowmeter must be off)
Forming the Internal Battery
The flowmeter uses
a special Lithium internal battery pack designed for a rapid charge cycle.
Lithium batteries have to be "formed" to deliver their optimum operating time. This is
accomplished by performing a minimum of two complete discharge/charge cycles.
Note
To remove, replace or dispose of the internal battery pack refer to Maintenance and
Service (Page 111) in the instruction manual.
To Produce a Charge/Discharge Cycle:
1. Press the ON keypad to turn the flowmeter ON without connecting an external power
source. Leave it ON until an automatic shutdown occurs.
2. Connect the charger and charge the internal battery with the meter power shut OFF. The
charge indicator LED will turn RED (Rapid Charge) for approximately 1 to 2 hours, then
turn GREEN (Trickle Charge). Charge the battery for an additional 8 hours or more.
3.
Repeat the charge/discharge cycle again. The battery should now be "formed" to provide
its maximum operating time.
