PAT INTERNAL BATTERY
The Portable Appliance Tester contains an internal rechargeable
battery to maintain the memory when the unit is switched off. In
order to ensure that this battery maintains operability the follow-
ing procedure should be followed:
1. On receipt of the PAT tester, clear the memory and leave the
unit switched on for 16 hours.
2. If the PAT will not be in use for weeks at a time the previous
test results should be downloaded onto a printer or computer
prior to the unit being stored, otherwise the unit should be
switched on for 16 hours to ensure full charge.
3. If the PAT has not been used for some weeks, the battery can
become heavily discharged, causing a possible loss of data. If
test data is still intact it is advisable to download it. When the PAT
is known to be in a discharged state, power it up to charge the
battery for at least an hour prior to carrying out testing, or leave to
charge for 16 hours.
