Checking the Monitor Battery Voltage
Check the battery voltage using Profile before installing the
monitor and after collecting data. The projected life for the 9-volt
battery pack (when applicable) in the monitor is 9 to 12 months at a
15-minute sample rate; the projected life for the 12-volt battery
pack (when applicable) in the monitor is 11-15 months at a 15-
minute sample rate. However, replace the battery pack in a monitor
with the 9-volt or the 12-volt battery pack as soon as possible when
the internal voltage is 6.5 volts or less, or Profile provides a Low
battery status.
Warning: An external voltage reading below 8.0 volts or
an internal voltage of less than 6.5 volts may prevent
communication with and data collection from the monitor.
Check the current battery voltage in the monitor using the
Diagnostics
tool in Profile in the following way:
1. From the Profile software main screen, select the monitor and
then select the Diagnostics toolbar button (or select Tools >
Diagnostics from the main menu
).
Diagnostics toolbar button
The Diagnostics dialog displays.
2. Select the Connect button on the Diagnostics dialog to
establish communication with the monitor.
Profile establishes communication, and the Monitor Status
displays on a Print Preview screen for the selected monitor.
3. Review the Monitor Status. Replace the internal battery when
the Internal Voltage is Low.
The Print Preview dialog displays the current system
information, including the monitor battery voltage, in printable
format. Select the Print button to print the report contents, if
desired.
