Battery
The NiCd battery provides up to 17 hours of probe operation
when fully charged.
BATTERY CHARGING
Each HI-4453/FP5083/FP4083/FP2083 probe contains a
rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery. A fully-charged
battery (nominal output voltage of 3.6 VDC) provides up to 17
hours of continuous operation.
NOTE: ETS-Lindgren charges the internal NiCd
battery of the HI-4453/FP5083/FP4083/FP2083
at the factory in order to calibrate the probe prior
to shipment. While every effort is made to
ensure that your probe arrives ready to use, we
cannot guarantee that this will be the case.
Always check the condition of the probe's
battery prior to making any measurements.
Charging Procedure
Step 1. Plug the charger into a suitable AC source.
Step 2. Set the probe switch to OFF. Insert the plug on the
charger cable into the probe's CHARGER jack.
Step
3. The battery is now charging. This may take
approximately one hour, depending on how deeply the batteries
are discharged. When charging is complete, the charger
automatically goes into a trickle charge and will continue to do so
until the probe is disconnected.
Battery Tips
NiCd batteries have several characteristics that can affect both
their performance and operating life. The following tips advise
you how to take advantage of these characteristics to get the
most out of your probe’s battery.
