Getting Started; Charging The Battery Pack - Elcometer 266 Manual Del Usuario

5 GETTING STARTED

5.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The Elcometer 266 is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-
pack which can be charged inside or outside the instrument.
Each instrument is dispatched from the factory with the battery
discharged. Recharge the battery fully before using for the first time.
Note: Only one battery pack is supplied with each instrument. To increase productivity
on site, we recommend purchasing a spare battery pack which can be charged
whilst the instrument is in use, see Section 16.3 ' Batteries, Chargers & Earth
Signal Return Leads' on page en-28.
Before you start:
Use only the charger supplied with the Elcometer 266 to charge

the battery. Use of any other type of charger is a potential
hazard, may damage your instrument and will invalidate the
warranty. Do not attempt to charge any other batteries with the
supplied charger.
Always charge the battery indoors.

To prevent overheating, ensure that the charger is not covered.

The instrument can be charged whilst it is switched on or off. If

charged whilst switched on, the high voltage supply to the probe
will be disconnected automatically and a battery charging icon will
be shown on the display. If charged whilst switched off, the
display will remain blank.
WARNING: Do not attempt to connect the supply side of the battery charger to
generators or any other medium to high power source other than the single
phase 50Hz A.C. mains outlet supplied from an approved and safe mains
switchboard. Connection to other supply sources such as generators or
inverters may have the potential to damage the charger, the battery and/or the
instrument invalidating the warranty.
Charging the battery pack inside the instrument:
1 Unscrew the retaining screw (a)
and open the access cover on the
rear of the instrument.
2 Connect the lead from the charger
into the socket marked 'Charger
Input' behind the interface access
cover.
