USER'S MANUAL. PROMAX-27
3 INSTALLATION
3.1
Power Supply
The PROMAX-27 is a portable instrument supplied by a built-in Li-Ion battery.
Before taking any measurement, we must ensure that the battery is charged.
3.1.1 Charging the battery
The instrument is supplied with a mains adapter in order to power or charge the
instrument.
There are two situations that can arise in the battery charging process:
1)
Stopped Instrument: When connecting the external power it will start a rapid
charging cycle, whose duration will depend on the battery status. It will take three
hours for a discharged battery. The charging indicator on the front panel [10] will
remain lit in amber colour during this period. At the end of charging and in full
charge, the indicator will be green.
2)
Instrument in operation: When connecting the charger, it will start a charging
process in a lower regime and therefore longer. At the end of charging and in full
charge, the indicator will change from amber to green colour.
Before using the power adapter, make sure that the adapter is
suitable for the mains voltage.
