Operating Manual: PSS SB TESTER 4-1
Operation
Supply
The PSS SB TESTER is supplied via a battery, which is located in the
back of the housing.
A charged PSS SB TESTER can be operated for 1 to 2 hours, depending
on the application conditions. If the battery charge drops to a particular
value during testing, the message “Charge battery” will be displayed and a
beep will sound. If the battery charge becomes so weak that the supply
can no longer be guaranteed, the PSS SB TESTER will switch off
automatically. The battery will need to be recharged. This takes approx. 1.5
hours.
INFORMATION
When the PSS SB TESTER is used for the first time or after storage
periods of more than 6 months, the battery will need to be charged for at
least 4 hours.
Charging the battery
• Plug the charger’s mains connector into a socket (110/230 VAC, 50 Hz).
• Take the PSS SB TESTER battery and plug it into the charger. The
charger is designed in such a way that the battery can only be inserted at
the correct polarity.
The start of the charging process is displayed via a red LED on the
charger’s connector (100 % on).
When the main charge is complete, the charger automatically switches to
“Conservation charging” mode and the LED flashes (25 % on, 75 % off).
If the main charge cannot be completed within 2 ½ hours, the charger
automatically switches to “Conservation charging” mode.
If the battery is extremely depleted, the LED will flash (50 % on, 50 % off)
when the battery is plugged into the charger. The battery is then charged
with a reduced charging current until the battery is regenerated and can be
switched to “normal” main charge mode.
