6 Charger/AC Adapter
The universal AC adapter transforms power line voltage into DC voltage which is used for
charging the external battery and/or simultaneous operation of the RSWA.
An input range 100–240 V at frequencies 50–60 Hz makes it possible to use the adapter in
most countries around the world. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied power
cord, as its plug determines the type of suitable power line.
Note: Keep AC adapter clean and away from spilled liquids and shocks. If there is any
type of visible damage to the adapter case or power cord, the item should be
replaced.
Warning: Tessonics has no responsibility for damage caused by use of unauthorized
power adapters or by connecting the power adapter to improper power lines.
Any battery has a limited number of charge/discharge cycles. With this in mind, using
the RSWA with the AC adapter plugged in helps to prolong the life of the battery. This
method works best when the RSWA is being used in a table-top manner to inspect welds
on a smaller part. It also ensures the battery is fully charged and ready for the next in-
spector.
