  • Page 40 The data loggers can be operated either with rechargeable batteries or with battery packs, depending on the respective device type. The data logger NivuLevel Mobile NFM-0050x Cxx (see Tab. 9 #2) is intended for operation with battery packs only. Der Datenlogger NivuLevel Mobile NFM-0050x Exx is designed to operate with rechargea- ble batteries and must not be operated with the battery packs.

  • Page 44 Over time, the battery loses its maximum capacity. This affects the battery life, which cannot be taken into account by the battery life calculation integrated in the NivuLevel Mobile. At high or low ambient temperatures as well as longer service life, the capacity of the battery block used is reduced.
  • Page 45 The voltage input on the NivuLevel Mobile operates from 12...14.5 V and is protected against short-term overvoltage, overcurrent and reverse polarity. Battery slots when charging/discharging In charging mode, only the battery block in the right-hand slot is charged.
  • Page 46 Operation/charging with direct mains power connection (for NFM-0050xExx/ NFM-0050x0xx with battery blocks) The NivuLevel Mobile can also be operated directly on a mains voltage of 100...240 V AC by means of the combined power supply unit/charger (see Fig. 23-1). WARNING Explosion hazard during operation with direct mains power connection in Ex areas The unit may only be operated outside the Ex area with direct mains power connection.

  • Page 49 When using 1 i-Sensor and 1 probe, always connect the i-Sensor to analogue input 1 to en- able communication via HART. If, in addition to the sensors/probes, a signal is to be connected to the NivuLevel Mobile via the digital input (e.g. for a rain gauge or a level switch), this connection must be made via the multifunction socket.
