3 INSTALLATION

3.1 Power supply

The PROPOWER-5 is a portable instrument powered by a built-in 7.2 V NiMh
rechargable battery. Before taking any measurement, the user should make sure that
the battery is fully charged (use the mains adapter supplied with the instrument).

3.1.1 Battery charge

The instrument has a 230 V / 50-60 Hz, mains adapter, for use in EUROPE and
other countries, to power or to charge the instrument. (See accessories to request other
types of adapters).
There are two different situations on battery charge:
1) With the instrument stopped, on having connected the external power adapter,
begins a cycle of fast load which duration will depend on the battery state.
For an empty battery this time will be of 3.5 h. approximately.
The charging battery indicator on the frontal panel will remain lit in amber colour
during this period of time.
When the battery charging is completed the indicator will be lit in green colour, to
state that now a maintenance charging process begins.
2) When the instrument is operating and connects the adapter, this one powers the
equipment and provides a battery maintenance charge while the charging indicator
remains lit in green colour.
ATTENTION
When stopping the instrument is reinitiated a
charge process.
It is for that reason recommendable to discharge
the battery using instrument without external
power adapter to make complete the charge /
discharge process.
ATTENTION
The charge system of PROPOWER-5 incorporates
a security system that does not allow the process
charge from certain temperature limit, begining the
maintenance charge instead charge mode when
the indicator flashes in green/amber until the
temperature downs to the required value.
CAUTION
Before using the power adapter, make sure that the
adapter is suitable for the mains voltage.
