Appendix A–4
BATTERIES
The PaveTracker Plus is equipped with one set of rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (pack of five C batteries).
The gauge software monitors the NiMH battery voltage. When the
batteries are fully charged, the battery voltage should be between
6.8 and 7.2 V dc. If the voltage falls below 6.0 V dc, the gauge
displays a low battery symbol (
) in the upper right of the Ready
screen. Recharge the batteries as described below.
If the voltage falls below 5.5 V dc, the gauge powers down
automatically after completing any memory store functions already
in progress. Troxler recommends that the operator recharge the
NiMH batteries. The NiMH batteries can be fully recharged in only
2.5 hours.
CHARGING
To charge the NiMH batteries, plug the charger into the round jack
on the front of the gauge. Plug the other end of the ac charger into a
standard 100–240 V ac outlet.
The dc adapter may be connected to any 12-14 V dc source (such as
a vehicle's cigarette lighter). To ensure a full charge, charge the
batteries for at least 2.5 hours. After charging, the battery voltage
should be between 6.8 and 7.2 V dc.
After recharging the batteries, unplug the charger from both the wall
outlet and the gauge. Store the charger for later use.
