Data Transmission - Bartington MS2 Operation Manual

For older units, it will be necessary to remove the two-way plug from the replacement battery,
cutting each wire separately so as not to short the battery. Assemble the terminal block onto the
battery wires, then reconnect being careful to connect black to black and red to red.
Re-assemble top half of enclosure and secure with the appropriate screws or slotted nuts.
Dispose of the old battery in an approved disposal facility.
