Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance
The transmitters and receivers mechanical and electronic components are maintenance free.
5.1.1 Battery change
From time to time the battery has to be exchanged.
It is not possible, to give a fixed maintenance interval, because the operation periode
depends much about how the system is used. The power LED shows the state of the battery.
The estimated operating time is 2..3 years.
We did our best, to make the battery change (evt. on the mast) as easy as possible.
The result is a battery pack, that can be screwed into the transmitter without a plug and will
be installed without any tool.
screw out of the used battery
Should the battery be stucked, it can be loosened with the use of a
8mm 'Imbus'
key.
insert the new battery. Thats all!
It is sufficient to tighten the battery manually.
By using 8mm 'Imbus' key, please dont squeeze the O-Ring too much.
Note:
Please pay attention, to keep the contact surface of the battery always clean.
Please pay attention, to keep the O-Ring always clean.
Attention:
The battery is NOT reloadable. (Lithium dry battery)
NEVER connect the battery to a battery charger, and avoid
shortcuts on the open contacts, for not to cause unnecessary
energy loss.
Despite the very high energy density, shortcut is not dangerous,
because the battery desposes of an internal power limitation.
5.1.2 Transmitter turn off => battery 'screw out'
If you want to put off the transmitter fully, e.g during winter,
screw out the battery for min. 10mm. Dont screw out the battery
completely, you avoid with that the spring contact getting
unnecessarily dusty.
