10. BATTERY INFORMATION
The following information relates to the care and
handling of the Site Master battery, and NiMH bat
-
teries in general.
·
The Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery sup
-
plied with the Site Master is shipped in a dis
-
charged state. Before using the Site Master, the
internal battery must first be charged for three
hours, either in the Site Master or in the op
-
tional battery charger (Anritsu part number:
2000-1029).
·
Use only Anritsu approved battery packs.
·
Recharge the battery only in the Site Master or
in an Anritsu approved charger.
·
With a new NiMH battery, full performance is
achieved after three to five complete charge and
discharge cycles.
·
When the Site Master or the charger is not in
use, disconnect it from the power source.
· Do not charge batteries for longer than 24
hours; overcharging may shorten battery life.
· If left unused a fully charged battery will dis-
charge itself over time.
· Temperature extremes will affect the ability of
the battery to charge: allow the battery to cool
down or warm up as necessary before use or
charging.
·
Discharge an NiMH battery from time to time
to improve battery performance and battery life.
·
The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear
out.
·
The battery may need to be replaced when the
operating time between charging becomes no
-
ticeably shorter than normal.
·
Never use a damaged or worn out charger or
battery.
·
Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places
will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the bat
-
tery.
·
Never short-circuit the battery terminals.
·
Do not drop, mutilate or attempt to disassemble
the battery.
·
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
·
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of prop
-
erly. Do not place batteries in household gar
-
bage.
·
Always use the battery for its intended purpose
only.
10.1. Battery Testing Procedure
1. With the Site Master off and the battery
installed, connect the Universal AC
Adapter to the
12.5-15VDC (1100 mA) con
-
nector. The
External Power LED and the
Battery Charging LED will light.
2. Disconnect the AC-DC Adapter when the
Battery Charging LED turns off, indicating
the battery is fully charged.
3. Press and hold the
ESCAPE/CLEAR key,
then press the
ON/OFF key to turn on the
Site Master. This sets the instrument to
the factory preset state. Press
ENTER
when prompted to continue.
4. Press the
SYS key, followed by the
STATUS soft key. Verify that the indicated
battery charge is ³ 80%. If the value is
80% or above, press the
ESCAPE/CLEAR
key and continue with this procedure.
If the value is lower than 80%, a dis-
charge/charge cycle may be needed to im-
prove the battery capacity. Completely
discharge the battery, as described in
Steps 5 and 6 below, and then recharge
the battery as described in Steps 1 and 2.
If the battery capacity does not increase
after a discharge/charge cycle, replace
the battery.
5. Press the
START CAL key (to keep the
Site Master from going into HOLD mode)
and make note of the test start time.
6. When the Site Master display fades and
the Site Master switches itself off, make
note of the test stop time.
7. The total test time (Step 5 to Step 6)
should be ³ 2.5 hours. If the total test
time is <2.5 hours, replace the battery.
