ARM/OFF
The ARM/OFF switch activates and deactivates the probe. In
the ARM position, its internal 3.6 VDC NiCd battery powers the
probe: in the OFF position, the probe is inactive. To prolong
battery life, set the ARM/OFF switch to OFF at the end of a test
sequence or when the probe is not in use.
CHARGER
A standard fast charger is supplied with the HI-
4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080. When charging is complete, the
fast charger acts as a trickle charger. The battery can be left on
this maintenance mode indefinitely and its performance will not
degrade.
BATTERY
The NiCd battery provides up to 17 hours of probe operation
when fully charged.
BATTERY CHARGING
Each HI-4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 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-4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 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 probe's battery
prior to making any measurements.
