Powering Your Excieo Meter
Your Excieo meter can be powered from either six AA batteries or an optional
Castle 12V DC Power Supply which can be purchased separately if required
(PSU3:PRO-DX).
The battery compartment is located on the rear of your instrument and its
cover can easily be removed and fastened by the use of your thumb or a coin if
required. Place each individual AA battery (6 required) with the positive terminal
to the positive markings, which are moulded into the casing inside the battery
compartment. To achieve a longer battery life with your instrument it is strongly
recommended you use Alkaline type batteries, unplugging the transducer whilst
not measuring may also prolong battery life.
To power the instrument via the optional Castle DC Power Supply simply plug the
power supply connector into the DC socket located next to the USB socket at
the base of your instrument. The circuit boards are protected from incorrect
polarity of either the batteries or DC power supply.
Re-chargeable batteries may be used in this instrument but operating time will
be reduced. Re-chargeable batteries must be removed from the Excieo to be
charged.
Below is a typical graph which approximately indicates the Excieo battery level
with respect to time using 2.7 Ampere Hour Alkaline type batteries.
