3.8 Battery Performance
Battery 6V type Panasonic LCR-6V 4.2P (which may be replaced only by Technical Support Service)
Charging time approx. 4-5h, depending on ambient temperature
Fuse in battery cable: blade fuse ATO 2A/32V (31.75x6.35)
A long-lasting, rechargeable 6 Volt, 4.5 Ah built-in battery is located in the testing computer.
The device may be charged via either the supplied power cable or a 12 Volt car battery. The charging socket
‘12V /max 1.25A’ on the control panel, next to the GPS antenna, must be used for this. Both car
charger and power cable are included with the contents of delivery (basic package).
A long-lasting, rechargeable, built-in battery pack type 8904 7.4 V/2.4 Ah is located in the sensor dome
(‘TERRATEST 5000 BLU’ ONLY). It should be charged with the supplied power cable 9V DC/2A with plugs
from LEMO.
The battery charge of the testing computer will be shown on the display ‘STATUS REQUEST’ upon swit-
ching on the device. Fully charged, the battery holds 6.9 volts. Approximately 300 tests can be performed
with a new, fully charged battery. However, the battery performance also depends largely on density of
air pressure, ambient temperature, battery lifetime, and other criteria. The device switches off automatically
three minutes after last use (automatic switch-off). Shortly before total discharge of the battery, the testing
computer also turns off automatically to avoid deep discharge. It can only be activated again after
recharging.
The battery charge of the Bluetooth ® transmitter in the sensor dome of the Bluetooth ® load plate
(‘TERRATEST 5000 BLU’ ONLY) will be shown on the display ‘STATUS REQUEST’ upon switching on the
device. Fully charged, the battery holds 7.4 volts (= 100%). Approximately 300 tests can be performed
with a new, fully charged battery. However, the battery performance also depends largely on density of
air pressure, ambient temperature, battery lifetime, and other criteria. The device switches off automatically
three minutes after last use (automatic switch-off). Shortly before total discharge of the battery, the testing
computer also turns off automatically to avoid deep discharge. It can only be activated again after
recharging.
The battery should be replaced only by the manufacturer. Never attempt to dismantle the battery. Lead is
a highly toxic heavy metal. Please comply with the regulations regarding transport and disposal of lead
batteries. Do not dispose of batteries by burning them. Batteries must be kept out of reach of children.
According to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/95/EG) the battery,
electronics, and especially the electronics of the load plate may not be disposed of with your domestic
waste. Comply with your local regulations. In some countries you are required by law to dispose of these
products only at the collection points provided. In some countries manufacturers of similar electronic
equipment are obliged by law to take back electronic waste. Due to potentially hazardous substances,
often contained in electronic waste, incorrect handling of such waste may have negative impacts on the
environment and human health. By disposing of electronic parts in an appropriate way you also
contribute to an effective use of natural resources. For more information about collection points for
electronic waste please contact your city council, your public waste management authorities or your
garbage disposal service. TERRATEST GmbH will take back electronic waste free of charge, and dispose
of it in a safe and environmentally appropriate manner.
