2.02 General Features
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer is a light-weight, fully portable instrument with alphanumeric LCD display. The instrument is for
use in production areas, healthcare settings and laboratories and can be supplied with a carrying pouch. A separate internal Lithium Battery
is used to retain information in the instruments memory, with regard to sample plans, test points, data and calibration setting.
RS 232 to PC is not functional on NGi Luminometer.
2.03 Charging the Battery
The instrument runs on a removable, rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. The sealed battery pack is supplied with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi
Luminometer and needs to be charged prior to use.
It is necessary to attach the battery pack to the instrument. Locate the battery pack into the aperture in the rear of the 3M™ Clean-Trace™
NGi Luminometer by inserting the bottom of the battery pack first and pushing the battery into place. Secure the battery pack by turning the
fixing screw clockwise using a small screwdriver. Do not over‑tighten.
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer may now be charged using the charger supplied. Plug the connector from the charger into the
3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer as shown in Figure 2, then connect the charger to an AC power outlet and switch on. Alternatively,
the optional docking station is used, insert the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer into the docking station, plug the connector from the
charger into the docking station then connect the charger to an AC power outlet.
The battery in the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer will charge fully in approximately 2 hours and will then be ready for use. The
battery level indicator shows the state of charge. Remove the AC power and unplug the charger from the instrument. If a docking station is
used, the charger can remain attached to the docking station permanently. In this way, the instrument is always being charged ready for use
when it is in the docking station.
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer will display this screen when it is switched off
and charging.
