POWERING THE SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL

The test tool can be powered from any of the following sources. Refer to Figure 1-2.

Internal Battery Pack (PM9086)

A rechargeable NiCad Battery Pack comes installed in every test tool.

C Cell Batteries

You can use four alkaline batteries in place of the NiCad Battery Pack. (The charger is defeated when standard C cells are installed).

Power Adapter (PM8907)

The Power Adapter/Battery Charger powers the test tool from a standard ac outlet. The test tool can be used during battery charging. Verify that your local line voltage is appropriate before using the Power Adapter/Battery Charger to power the test tool and/or charge the battery pack.

See Appendix 9C for more information.

Automotive Adapter (PM9087, optional)

The Automotive Adapter powers and charges from a standard 12V dc automotive accessory (lighter) outlet.

Refer to Chapter 8 for battery replacement instructions.
