    Status information can only be reset while hardware lock key 6.7 BATTERY-POWERED OPERATION is mounted. The HbMAG is factory-configured for 6 years of typical operation on internal battery pack (1 D-cell). High or low temperature, frequent use of IrDA communication, high pulse output rate, and high excitation frequency in leakage detection mode will reduce actual operation time.
  • Page 24 Temperature is also measured to control and adjust its influence on the battery capacity. For the HbMAG, the internal battery pack has a nominal capacity of 33 Ah giving a typical operation time of 6 years in a revenue application. Nominal capacity of external battery packs is 66 Ah and operation time is limited to battery lifetime - typically 10 years.
