1AN601 batteries
The AN601 instrument is to be powered with 4pcs AA 1,5V batteries. The operational autonomy of the
instrument will depend on the battery type. It is advisable to use rechargeable batteries for digital
cameras with high charge capability like 2600mA/hour or higher.
1.1 Instrument autonomy of operation
The AN601, when connected to a 350 Ohm strain gauge instrument, is consuming approximately
60mA.
The battery autonomy is directly proportional to their charge status and if it is used a 2600mA/Hour
type then the autonomy is: 2600mA/hour/60mA=40 hours of continuous working.
1.2 Battery housing To open the battery housing, on AN601 rear side, it
is necessary to push upwardly the plastic lid and
then lift it.
Insert batteries with correct polarity.
If batteries are inserted with wrong polarity,
instrument is not damaged.
After having inserted batteries then close the lid.
Fig. 1 : AN601 battery housing.
1.3 Battery status led
A red led switches on when the batteries have low charge status.
It is advisable to change the batteries when they are no more charged in order to avoid wrong readings
on display (if batteries are rechargeable then recharge them).
Note:
The AN601 recognizes a battery low charge status by using memorized parameters referring to NiMa
types with 2600mA, different models could change the activation of the signaling led.
Push this part to open the lid, for opening the battery housing.

7.1 Hold F1
The hold function is activated by pressing the F1 and LED 1 is switched on.
Hold function is freezing the measured value on AN601 display that constantly shows the same
value till this function is deactivated and LED1 is switched on.
The value shown on display is frozen till the F1 push button is released.
7.2 Peak memory function F2 ..
Peak memory function is showing on display the maximum measured value after the F2 push
button has been pressed a first time.
LED2 will be switched on when Peak function is active.
To erase the memorized value, press Cpush button.
To switch off the Peak function just press a second time the F2 push button, till LED2 is switched
off and display shows the normal measured values.
