Battery Charging and Replacement
The Simulator is powered by a 1.9 AH sealed lead acid rechargeable battery,
which powers the unit for up to 20 hours. The integrated charger requires up to
14 hours to charge the battery if its charge is significantly depleted. A
Low
Bat message is displayed when the battery needs to be recharged.
To charge the battery, plug the Simulator’s battery charger into the unit and
into an ac line power source.
W Caution
To avoid damage to the Simulator or adverse affects on its
performance, the battery should never be discharged
completely. Repeated complete discharging can result in
damage to the battery. To avoid this situation:
• Recharge the battery every six months if the unit has
not been used.
• Immediately begin charging when the battery level is
low. A fully charged battery retains at least 95% of its
charge for 7 days with the unit turned OFF. The
maximum charge time to reach 95% battery capacity is
approximately 10 hours.
• Allow only qualified service personnel to replace the
battery.
To replace the battery:
1. Power off and disconnect the unit from the ac line power
2. Remove the six front panel screws
3. Remove the front panel assembly exposing the battery
4. Detach the battery wires and remove the battery bracket
5. Replace with 1.9 AH 12 V sealed lead acid battery, Fluke part #2183521 or
equivalent.
