Test-Um NT955 Series
Battery and Power Management
The lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (NT93) included with the Validator-
NT main unit and remote are recharged any time the Validator-NT or
remote are connected to the AC adapters included in the Validator-NT
kit. Use of other adapters, particularly car adapters, should always be
avoided.
The batteries continue to charge during operation. The batteries included
in the kit are designed to work with the Validator-NT battery information
system. They have the ability to store usage information that can be
used to monitor the loss of capacity in the battery over time. Using other
batteries of similar style will result in not knowing the battery condition or
state of charge.
Each unit can run on battery power for approximately 8 hours. Since the
remote uses considerably less power than the Validator-NT main unit, a
full days use can be assured by swapping the batteries between the two
in the middle of the day.
A full recharge cycle takes approximately 2 ½ half hours.
The lithium-ion batteries for Validator-NT can be used and stored in
locations that do not exceed 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees
Celsius) or 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) limits. If the
Validator-NT senses an out of range condition while charging, it displays
Hot or Cold below the battery symbol and suspends charging. The
remote ashes the charging light rapidly and suspends charging for as
long as the temperature is out of range.
Note: Do not discard lithium-ion batteries in an area where they can
be burned or in regular trash. Li-Ion batteries can explode if exposed
to open ame and create hazardous waste. Dispose in a proper
environmentally safe fashion.
