Operating on Battery Power
The pump operates on battery power when it is disconnected from the AC power. The battery power indicator, the
Information and Numeric Displays will flash whenever the pump is on battery power. In the event of a power failure, the
pump will automatically continue to operate on battery power.
Two alarms indicate the condition of the pump's battery:
LOW BATT alternating with the selected volume or pressure status. This indicates that approximately 30 minutes of
operating time remains on battery power
LOW BATT (constant). This indicates that the battery is discharged. Connect the pump to an AC power supply to
recharge the battery.
Note: The pump's battery is designed for limited duration use. Wherever possible, the pump should be used connected
to an AC power supply. If the pump is to be taken out of service for an extended period, it is good practice to charge the
battery periodically to ensure full capacity.
