External power for the instrument is supplied via a 2.1 mm co-axial 2-line
D.C. connector in the bottom of the instrument case. Terminal polarity is
+12 V DC on the tip and 0 V DC ground on the sleeve.

A Casella CEL Universal Power Supply (-PC18) may be used to

power the instruments from nominal 110-240 V 50/60 Hz mains supplies.
To prevent loss of data should an external power supply be interrupted
for any reason during measurement, it is recommended that a usable set
of batteries be kept in the instrument.

In general, download all important data and remove the batteries

from the instruments when they are to be out of use for some time.

Note that when an instrument is returned to battery operation

after being powered from an external supply, either: switch the
instrument OFF then ON again, or: disconnect ALL devices from the DC
input socket, in order to avoid additional discharging of the internal
batteries.

The instrument contains a built in Lithium battery to maintain

stored data and setups for periods while the main batteries are absent.
