8. BATTERY
•
The indicators can be operated from the rechargeable battery, if
desired. The battery life is determined by the number and impendence
of the load cells connected. With a single load cell and backlight
disabled the life is approximately 70 hours before needing to be
recharged.
•
When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will turn on.
The battery should be charged when the symbol is on. The indicator will
still operate for a period of time after which it will automatically switch
off to protect the battery.
•
To charge the battery, simply plug into the mains power supply. The
indicator does not need to be turned on.
•
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
•
To the right of the display is a LED to indicate the status of battery
charging. When the indicator is plugged into the mains power the
internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery is being
charged. If it is red it is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the
battery is increasing the charge level. Continue to charge overnight for
a complete re-charge.

The backlight for the LCD can be set by the user to always off, always on or
automatic (on only when the indicator is in use or a key is pressed). See setting of

10. AUTO POWER OFF
The auto power off can be set by the user to disable the feature or to a pre-set time
interval. See setting of the parameter “S3 AoF “ in section 13.3.
