Setra Quick Count™ Operator's Manual 23
BATTERY USE FOR PORTABLE SCALE OPERATION
A fully charged battery will allow a Setra scale to operate for
approximately 24 hours before recharging is needed. The battery will
last one-half as long or about 12 hours if the scale is equipped with an
Auto Count 200. The “ low bat” indicating light on the front panel of
the scale will light up approximately one hour before recharging is
necessary. When battery power is too low for proper scale operation the
circuit will automatically shut off the battery and the scale will cease
operation.
Replacement and spare batteries can be ordered from Setra Systems (part
number 404620).
BATTERY CHARGING
When the “ low bat” indicator light on the front panel of the scale
turns on, use the following procedure to recharge the battery:
1. Plug the AC adaptor, (Setra part number 404712) into an electrical
outlet, and plug the power cable into the scale. Do not remove the
battery. The scale will automatically recharge the battery from the
electrical outlet regardless if the scale is on or off.
2. The “ low bat” indicator light will remain on during recharging
until the battery reaches 40% of its rated capacity. This will take
between 2 to 2.5 hours depending if the scale is on or off. A
battery powering a scale alone will reach 95% of its rated capacity
in 8 hours if the power switch is in the “ ON” position and in 7
hours if the switch is “ OFF” . Note that the indicator light will
not light up if the scale switch is “ OFF” .
3. If the scale is equipped to power an Auto Count 200 from the
scale's battery, it is recommended that battery recharging be done
with the scale power switch in the “ OFF” position.
Battery charging time may vary slightly depending upon the temperature
in the scale operating environment. For applications requiring
continuous scale operation it is recommended that the battery be removed
from the scale and recharged using the external battery charger (Setra
part number 404719).
