Battery Charging - PerkinElmer Photovac 2020 Manual

Battery Charging

A fully charged battery pack powers 2020 for approximately 8
hours. If the instrument is to be used for more than 8 hours, carry a
spare battery pack (Part No. MX350009). When the first one has
been discharged, replace it with the spare.
NOTE: If you do not turn 2020 off before removing the battery pack,
you will reset the instrument and you will lose all logged data
and setup parameters.
When the instrument status displays "LBat", the battery pack
requires charging. When the "LBat" status is displayed, you have 30
minutes of operation left. 2020 will turn itself off before the battery
pack becomes critically low.
Do not remove or recharge the battery pack in a hazardous location.
WARNING
Upon return from field work, charge the battery packs as outlined in
Battery Charging on page 30. Use only the AC adapter specified
for use with 2020. Optionally you can use the off line charger to
charge the battery pack independently of the instrument. See Off
Line Charger on page 110.
NOTE: You must use the 220 V battery charger (Part No. MX396013)
in order to comply with the requirements of the applicable
Council Directives.
If you do not require portable operation, you can use 2020 while it is
connected to the AC adapter.

battery pack is fully charged. It then maintains the full charge with a
