Replacing the battery power pack
Control channel K11 displays the remaining capacity of the battery pack, expressed as
a percentage. If this value falls below 15%, it is advisable to replace the power pack with
a new one. The power pack can be replaced by the user or ordered from the station
manufacturer. The power supply unit is equipped with a short cable ending with a con-
nector for easy connection to the electronic board of the instrument.
The Hydro-Logger H40G is powered by a lithium battery pack with a voltage of 3.6 V
and a capacity of 26 Ah.
The Hydro-Logger H40D without GSM communication module is powered by a smaller
3.6V / 19Ah block.
When replacing the battery pack, proceed as follows:
•
Unscrew the locking screw that secures the front panel in position in the Hydro
Logger H40's stainless steel cylindrical housing.
•
Slide the electronic part of the instrument connected to the front panel out of
the stainless steel housing of the instrument.
•
Disconnect the power connector from the electronics, remove the old battery
pack from the instrument case and replace it with a new one, connect the
power connector to the electronics part and insert it back into the instrument
case.
•
Apply silicone petroleum jelly to the O-ring in the front panel to prevent mois-
ture from entering the station and slide the front panel with the connected elec-
tronics back into the stainless steel housing, securing it with the locking screw.
•
Using the connected PC and the MOST program, RESET the capacity coun-
ter.
After replacing the power supply battery with a new one, you need to reset the power
draw counter using the MOST program and set the initial capacity to 100%.
To reset the counter, press the
