Battery Operation (Option 001)

 

 

 

 

 

The battery option (001) allows the power meter to be used in operating

 

environments where there is no convenient access to an ac power source.

 

General Information

 

 

 

 

 

With the battery option installed and the power meter connected to an ac

 

power source, the meter operates from the ac source and the battery runs

 

in a controlled charge mode.

 

 

 

 

 

If the meter is powered up under battery power, or if ac power is lost while

 

connected to an ac source, a pop up window displays the message

 

“Running Under Battery Power”. When this screen is visible the backlight

 

mode (see “Backlight”, on page 2-4) is over-ridden and the backlight is on

 

continuously. Pressing the

 

softkey returns the display to the

 

Continue

 

previous screen.

 

 

 

 

 

Carry Case

 

 

 

 

 

A soft carry/operating case is available which makes it easy to transport

 

and operate your power meter in installation and maintenance

 

environments. To obtain a carry case order HP part number 34141A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution

Do not attempt to recharge the power meter or operate the power

 

meter from an ac power source while it is contained in the carry

 

case.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running Time

 

 

 

 

 

A fully charged battery will typically allow the power meter to be used

 

continuously for up to 3 hours with the backlight off and 2 hours with the

 

backlight on.
