2. Initialisation

2.1. Power supply

The ecom-DP is powered by 3 batteries or 3 accumula-
tors. The following types can be used to operate the
instrument:
- Battery
- Accumulator 1,2 V AA NiCd (nickel cadmium)
- Accumulator 1,2 V AA NiMh (metal hydride)
If you are using a loading unit, please adjust the func-
tion „Bat. Loading" (see chapter 6.4.)
Open the battery compartment and insert the batteries.
Be careful to ensure proper polarity. If using the re-
chargeable battery type, it will be necessary to fully
charge the batteries prior to initial use (approx. 4 hours).
The voltage of the batteries is monitored by the DP and
will indicate a low battery condition by approx. 3.3 V by
beeping and flashing a signal on the LCD display. If the
voltage sinks (approx. 3 V) so the ecom-DP will auto-
matically switch off.

2.2. Accumulator charging

The accumulator charging procedure is monitored by
the ecom-DP. Once connected to AC power, the in-
strument switches on. During the charging procedure, a
BATTERY indicator will be shown on the LCD display.
Once the battery is fully charged, the BATTERY indica-
tor on the display will blink. It is possible to operate the
ecom-DP on AC power during the charging procedure
by pressing the <ON> button.
2.3. Setting clock
The internal clock and the internal RAM memory of the
ecom-DP are buffered via a capacitor. If the instrument
is without current supply during more than approx. 10
minutes, the recorded information gets lost. Before us-
ing the ecom-DP for the first time, adjust the internal
clock and delete the internal RAM memory.
