the case to prevent this from occurring. To prevent long term damage and
loss of capacity recharge the battery promptly after removing it.
Recharging the Battery Packs
The following steps should be followed to correctly recharge the battery
packs:
• Disconnect the battery pack from the D
USTTRAK monitor and remove it
from the Environmental Enclosure.
• Take it to a protected area where it can be charged undisturbed for 12 to
15 hours.
• Check on the bottom of the charger to see that the red voltage switch is
set appropriately to either 115V or 230V.
• Supply power to the charger. The green LED lights on the front of the
charger.
• Insert the power plug protruding from the battery pack into the output
jack attached to the charger. The charger will now quick-charge the
battery. This is indicated by an illuminated yellow LED.
• Charging is complete when the yellow LED shuts off. A trickle charge
will maintain the full charge. A fully discharged battery will require up
to 15 hours to fully recharge.
Note: Do Not Store A Battery Pack That Has Not Been Fully Charged.
Storing a discharged battery for any length of time will negatively
affect the battery life.
Battery Pack Life
Lead acid batteries have a finite life of about 300 charging cycles. This
means that the two battery packs last around two years without need of
replacement. This assumes that the batteries are being used to run a
D
USTTRAK monitor every day, and that they are properly cared for and
rotated daily. To help track battery lifetime, an In-service Date sticker has
been attached to the front of the battery pack to inform you when each
battery pack was shipped from TSI. Replacement battery packs may be
ordered from TSI. See the previous section of this appendix on “Parts
Identification” for more information.
Emptying the Water Trap
If any water or moisture has accumulated in the water trap, be sure to
unscrew the water trap from the internal inlet and empty it. Take care when
removing and reinstalling the bottle to prevent damage to the threads. The
bottle must be securely hand tightened to seal against the O-ring to prevent
leaking.
