6 • 1. Getting Started DSP500 Series Wheel Alignment Sensors
Additional information:
Any sensor that is powered up after being off for a while will initially indicate 100% capacity
on the aligner screen. This is not an accurate indication of the charge state of the battery.
The battery has a “surface charge” which dissipates quickly. Within 5 minutes of operation
the on-screen battery level indicator will settle at its true value. The individual wheels on the
screen indicate the actual battery condition and are color-coded. The following is an
indication of battery charging condition:
Green = fully charged or partially charged
Yellow = approximately 20% charge left
Red (with battery recharging icon) = requires charging

The charging circuit has been “fine tuned” to work specifically with Hunter batteries, part
number 194-23-2 (Powersonic part number PS-1223). Substituting different batteries is not
recommended.
A sensor that is being used, and has a low battery, can retain its measurement data if a “hot
swap” battery replacement is made. Hot swapping the battery requires that the user replaces
the battery, and then tilts the sensor completely forward, then completely backward. The
sensor settings will be restored and the alignment can proceed.
