Maintenance; Recharging The Battery (110/220 V) - Chauvin Arnoux CA 10 Notice De Fonctionnement

10.1 RECHARGING THE BATTERY
The incorporated battery is dual voltage (110 V / 220 V); switching is done inside the
instrument by a sliding switch on the supply board (see fig. p.32).
A small plate fastened by screws below the charger socket on the front panel indicates
the voltage that the charger is programmed for.
Check that the supply voltage matches the voltage marked on the voltage supply plate.
If the programming of the charge voltage has to be changed, then this little plate should
be turned over so that it always matches the programmed voltage and the voltage
indicated on the front panel.
Connect the power lead to the socket.
Once the lead has been connected to the power supply, the «CHARGING» light comes
on, indicating that the battery is being charged.
The charger is protected against incorrect programming of the power supply by internal
electronic protection. f this protection comes into play, wait approx. one minute before
switching on the charger again (The cooling time of the protective varistance).
Voltages permissible on the charger:
187 V to 253 V (230 V rated) frequency 47 Hz to 450 Hz
94 V to 127 V (110 V rated) frequency 47 Hz to 450 Hz
Battery charge time:14 hours (for a completely discharged battery)
Number of charge/discharge cycles:more than 300 cycles
Once the battery has been recharged, press ON/OFF twice (see 3 p. 26) to switch on the
instrument again.
NOTE:
During charging measurement is possible. Wait for the instrument to come on, according
to the condition of the battery, then make measurements. The ouput current of the charger
(800 mA) makes it possible to use the 20 mW , 200 mW , 2000 mW , 20 W , 200 W ranges
continuously and the 2000 µW range temporarily.
