BATTERY CHARGING
Introduction
Each HI-4455 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-4455 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 battery prior to making any
measurements. To check probe battery voltage, refer to
the operation of the Field Monitor or ProbeView software
User's Manual.
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 1
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.
