IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: • This manual contains instructions for the FCY-15-IS designed for use in hazardous areas. Read the enteire manual before using the calibrator. • Before using the calibrator, carefully read the section “Special conditions for safe use”. • Keep the calibrator in a dry environment whenever possible.
• The battery should only be charged in a safe area, using the charger provided. To avoid explosion or fire, use only the battery (BT15-IS) and charger (CG15-IS) specified by Presys. • Never replace the battery in a hazardous area.

How to use the carrying Fig. 03 - Using the carrying case Accessories: The bag has three compartments; one for accommodate the calibrator and the others to hold various accessories including test leads, handles for transport and field use and technical manual.
2.2. Battery and charger The FCY-15-IS is supplied with rechargeable battery which enables up to 12 hours of continuous use. This autonomy is reduced according to the active functions (for example, using the 24 Vdc TPS source, or increasing screen brightness). A battery charger that can be plugged into power supply from 100 to 240 Vac is included. The time for full charge is 3 hours.
