Battery operation The LS Flex/430 is supplied with power with the power pack included.
If the meter and the LS Flex/430 are connected to each other, the
LS Flex/430 supplies the meter with power. At the same time, the re-
chargeable battery (rechargeable batteries) in the meter is charged.
The rechargeable battery is charged even while the meter is switched
off.
Charging time of the
rechargeable battery
approx. 36 hours.
CAUTION
Use original power packs only.
The line voltage at the operating site must lie within the input volt-
age range of the original power pack (SEE chapter 3 TECHNICAL DA-
TA).
NOTE
The rechargeable battery will eventually discharge even when the me-
ter is switched off. If you do not work with the meter for a longer period
of time you should charge the rechargeable battery every 6 months to
avoid total discharging. Rechargeable batteries that are often totally
discharged have a shorter service life.
