Battery operation

The SPM Flex gas detector is supplied with a power supply/charger than can
connect the detector's power connection and a standard wall outlet� (Ensure that
the correct power cable has been ordered for local operation�) The power supply/
charger is designed for indoor, dry-location use only� The lithium-ion battery pack
provides continuous operation of 6+ hours, depending on sampling conditions
and unit configuration� The battery's charge time is typically 4 hours� The
detector can be operated while its battery is being charged (this may increase
the charge time)� The battery is designed for 1000 charge cycles� Honeywell
Analytics recommends keeping the detector connected to the power supply/
charger when not in use to keep the battery fully charged�
WARNING
!
• The battery is not field-replaceable� Return the unit to Honeywell Analytics
if a battery replacement is necessary�
• Risk of fire and burns� Do not open, crush, heat above 140ºF (60ºC), or
incinerate the battery� Follow manufacturer's instructions�
How to extend battery life
Power consumption is optimized to extend battery life when not in monitor mode�
In addition, the unit should not be exposed to extreme temperatures which
shortens battery life� The time before recharging is required can be extended by
taking the detector out of monitor mode when it is not in use�
