USER'S MANUAL. PROLITE-60

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 Power supply

The PROLITE-60 is a portable instrument powered by a built-in NiMh rechargable
battery. Before taking any measurement, the user should make sure that the battery is
fully charged.

3.1.1 Battery charge

The instrument has an internal charger to power or to charge the instrument.
There are two different situations on battery charge:
1) With the instrument stopped, on having connected the mains cord, begins a cycle
of fast load which duration will depend on the battery state. For an empty battery
this time will be of 3,5 h. approximately. The charging battery indicator on the
frontal panel will remain lit in amber colour during this period of time.
When the battery charging is completed, the light will change to green, indicating
that a maintenance charge is taking place.
2) When the instrument is operating and connects the adapter, this one powers the
equipmen and provides a battery maintenance charge while the charging indicator
remains lit in green colour.
ATTENTION
Whenever the equipment is power off or the external voltage adapter is
connected a battery charging process restarts.
It is for that reason recommendable to discharge the battery using instrument
without external power supply to make complete the charge / discharge process.
ATTENTION
The charge system of PROLITE-60 incorporates a security system that does not
allow the process charge from certain temperature limit, begining the maintenance
charge instead, with indicator flashing in green/amber until the temperature downs
to the required value.
CAUTION
Before using the instrument, make sure that the adapter is suitable for the mains
voltage.
