Proper Use of TrackSense LyoPro Batteries • The TrackSense LyoPro data loggers have a standby battery usage that will empty the battery in approx.12 months, even if the data logger is not used. It is therefore recommended to remove the battery from the data logger when it is not used for several weeks •...
7.1.2. Activating and Testing TrackSense LyoPro Battery • TrackSense LyoPro data loggers do not use enough power to activate the battery by itself. Therefore, the activator unit must be used • New batteries must be activated initially for exactly 1 hour. See the image below.
8.1. Ellab Factory Calibration It is recommended that TrackSense LyoPro data loggers are returned to Ellab at least once a year for factory calibration. Ellab performs the factory calibration, which adjusts and notes a new calibration date in the data logger. A certificate is generated, and the as found / as left data are included by default.
If the product does not arrive at Ellab in a case, all warranty is lost and Ellab reserves the right to include a suitcase at the user’s expense upon returning the product.
