Isotropic Electric Field Probe
HI-4422/FP2000/FP4000/FP5000

BATTERY

The NiCd battery provides up to 40 hours of probe operation
when fully charged.

BATTERY CHARGING

Each HI-4422/FP2000/FP4000/FP5000 probe contains a
rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery. A fully-charged
battery (nominal output voltage of 3.6 VDC) provides up to
4m,asghjkl89asghjkl890 hours of operation. When the battery
has discharged to 3.3 VDC, the probe is still operational, but its
battery needs charging: when the voltage drops below 3.18
VDC, measurement accuracy will be compromised by further
operation.

NOTE: ETS-Lindgren charges the internal NiCd battery
of the HI-4422/FP2000/FP4000/FP5000 at the factory in
order to calibrate the probe prior to shipment. While
every effort is made to ensure that your probe arrives
ready to use, we cannot guarantee that this will be the
case. Always check the condition of the probe's battery
prior to making any measurements. To check probe
battery voltage, refer to the operation of the BAT keypad
in Section 8.0 of the HI-4416 User's Manual.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

Step 1.

Plug the charger into a suitable AC source.

Step 2.

Set the probe switch to OFF. Insert the plug on

the charger cable into the probe's CHARGER jack.

Step 3.

The battery is now charging. This may take

approximately 1 hour, depending on how deeply the batteries are
discharged. When charging is complete, the charger
automatically goes into a trickle charge and will continue to do so
until the probe is disconnected.
