PROTECTIONS & WARNING MESSAGES PROTIUM-150 has in-built system protections. During normal running phase, the LED will be solid white and a continuous buzzer sound can be heard. When an error is detected, the LED will flash, the buzzer sound will become intermittent, and a message will appear. The message can be viewed on a PC using Spectronik’s Graphic User Interface (GUI) data acquisition software.
DC power supply (12V,1A) instead of the Hybrid Battery. 2. Set a constant voltage (CV) load of 12V and run the system for 1 hour. 3. PROTIUM-150 is now ready for usual operation or can be stored again for future use. Storage Keep PROTIUM-150 in an open, cool (standard room temperature of 25 C) and dry place.
