Sensor - ATP ZX-1A Heated Pentode Manuel De L'utilisateur

2. When properly connected, the first LED will indicate the charging status:
- Quickly flashing orange = battery charging
- Slowly flashing green = battery fully charged
- Slowly flashing red = batteries failed, cannot be recharged
New or completely discharged batteries will take approximately two (2) hours to fully
recharge.
3. When the LED indicates that the batteries are fully charged (slowly flashing green), the unit
is ready for operation.
NOTE : It is recommended that whenever the unit is not in use, it be left connected to the charg-
er in order to ensure full battery power is later available. The internal charging circuit will prevent
over charging and will provide a continuous maintenance charge if and when required by the
batteries.
Storage
Even when powered off, the unit will slowly discharge the batteries over time. Before storing the
unit for extended periods (over 4 weeks), the battery pack should be removed from the unit.
Nevertheless, the Ni-MH batteries will eventually self-discharge, and will require re-charging
before use.
When replacing batteries take care to insert the battery in the correct fashion as described in the
"Getting Started' section, and depicted in figure 2, page 4.
Disposal
Ni-MH batteries are recyclable and must be disposed of properly. Do not
incinerate or expose to open flames.

SENSOR

The patented Heated Pentode™ Sensor is a precise device that, in conjunction with the
advanced circuit, provides the extreme performance of the unit.
The sensor is a consumable element and will eventually require replacement. The circuit contin-
uously compensates for sensor aging to maintain a constant performance level; so sensitivity
and response remain the same throughout the life of the sensor.
