Page 13: Maintenance
CHAPTER 5 MAINTENANCE Battery Installation Under normal conditions, the battery will last up to a year of continuous recording unless the logger is restarted very frequently. In the OFF mode, the logger puts almost no load on the battery. Use the OFF mode when the logger is not in use. Replace the battery once a year in normal use. If the logger will be used at temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or is frequently turned on and off, replace the battery every six to nine months. 1. Make sure your logger is turned off (no blinking light) and all inputs are disconnected. 2. Turn the logger upside down. Remove the four Phillips head screws from the base plate, then take off the base plate. 3. Locate the two-wire (red/black) battery connector and attach the 9V battery to it. Make sure that you observe polarity by lining up the battery posts to the proper terminals on the connector. 4. Once the connector is plugged onto the battery, insert the battery into the holding clip on the circuit board. 5. If the unit is not in record mode after installing the new battery, dis- connect it and press the button twice then reinstall the battery. 6. Reattach the base plate using the four screws removed in Step 2. Your logger is now recording (LED blinking). Press the PRESS button for five seconds to stop the instrument. NOTE: For long-term storage, remove the battery to prevent discharge effects. -
