Maintenance and repair

Checking the batteries

The SunScan system requires batteries within the probe and in the Workabout. The Beam Fraction sensor does not require batteries because it draws its power from the probe.

The SunScan probe batteries

The probe is powered by 4 AA size alkaline cells mounted within the probe handle. With typical use, these batteries should last from 6 - 12 months. The probe circuit automatically "sleeps" when no readings are being taken. There is no probe on/off switch.

Checking the probe battery level

Connect the probe to the Workabout, and from the SunData program take a reading with the probe (any light reading will do - it is required only to activate the battery sensing circuit).

Then press +B (or Menu,Utils,About). The screen display will show various version numbers plus a Battery mV reading.

Replace the batteries if the reading is 4700 mV or less. A reading of 5000 mV or above indicates that the batteries are healthy. You will get an on-screen warning if the batteries are low. When this happens replace them as soon as you can.

If you get a 0 mV reading, the probe has not been read. Take a light reading, and try

+B again.

Probe battery life

With a fresh set of batteries in the probe, you could take about 300,000 readings. If you took no readings, the batteries would last for about 6-12 months.

Warning! If you are likely to store the probe for a long period, you should remove the batteries.

Replacing the probe batteries

You must dismantle the probe handle. Disconnect the BFS and the probe's RS232 cable. The baseplate of the probe is secured to the handle by 4 cross-head corner screws. Unscrew these to remove the handle, whilst carefully supporting the probe. The battery holder can now be prised out of its compartment, and the batteries changed.

The Workabout batteries

Checking the Workabout battery levels

The Workabout is supplied with a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack and a Lithium back-up battery installed. Press Shift+Ctrl+B to display the Psion Battery info screen. You will be warned when the batteries get low. Switch off and recharge the batteries as soon as possible.

For full details on the care and maintenance of the Workabout's batteries you should refer to the Workabout User Guide pages 2-5, but the following brief notes will get you started.
