Product overview

There are two types of modules that can be used with 2100Q and the 2100Qis: the power module and the USB+Power module. The meter can be powered by an AC-DC power adaptor with both power modules. The USB+Power module is also used for communication with a PD-2 Citizen printer, USB-Barcode scanner and computer. The module firmware can be updated with a file downloaded from the computer.

Installation

Install the battery

Potential fire hazard. Use only alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH) in the meter. Other battery types or incorrect installation can cause a fire. Never mix battery types in the meter.

NOTICE
The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the battery compartment becomes wet, remove and dry the batteries and thoroughly dry the interior of the compartment. Check the battery contacts for corrosion and clean them if necessary.

NOTICE
When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not indicate a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH batteries are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does not indicate complete charge, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of instrument operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.

NOTICE
To avoid potential damage to the meter from battery leakage, remove the meter batteries prior to extended periods of non-use.

The meter can be powered with AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH batteries. To conserve battery life, the meter will power off after 10 minutes of inactivity. The backlight powers off after 30 seconds. Select a new time in the Power Management menu to change the power-off default times.
Note: Rechargeable batteries will only be recharged with the USB+Power module.
Refer to the Instrument User Manual for additional information about battery installation.
