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 battery cover by removing the slotted screw. 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. -
