  • Page 7: Power Supply

    Figure 1.- Connection to the mains 1.2.2.- Battery powered The FSM 500 comes with one 12V Ni-MH battery. This battery, using an average consumption, can power the equipment for more than four hours. The equipment features a complicated control system for charging and discharging the batteries which optimises their duration and life, and this in turn means that the equipment can use this form of powering without any abrupt decrease in the length of time.
  • Page 8 Multimetter FSM 500 Ref. 5903 While the equipment is charging the battery, the Battery (11) LED will flash. In any case, the equipment will stop charging once this is complete. The equipment is constantly monitoring the status of the batteries and it informs the user of their status via an LED icon (Battery (11)) and an audio signal.

  • Page 9: Start-Up

    Multimetter FSM 500 Ref. 5903 Note on charging the battery: => Whenever possible, it is advisable to recharge the batteries completely. In other words, when the recharging process begins, do not interrupt it, until the batteries are 100% full. => If you are not going to use the equipment for a while, the battery level should not be very low.
