- Modern fast chargers detect both too low and too high a temperature of accumulators and react to the
situation adequately. Too low a temperature should prevent the start of the process of charging, which
might damage the accumulator irreparably. An increase of the temperature of the accumulator is a signal
to stop charging and is a typical phenomenon. However charging at a high temperature of the environ-
ment apart from reducing the lifetime causes an accelerated increase of the temperature of the accu-
mulator, which will be not charged to its full capacity.
- Remember that in the case of quick charging accumulators are charged to approximately 80% of their
capacity; better results may be obtained if the process of charging is continued: the charger goes then
to the phase of charging with a low current and after next couple of hours the accumulators are charged
to their full capacity.
- Do not charge or use accumulators in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures reduce the lifetime
of batteries and accumulators. Avoid placing devices powered from accumulators in very hot environ-
ments. The nominal working temperature must be absolutely observed.
7 Cleaning and maintenance
NOTE!
Apply solely the maintenance methods specified by the manufacturer within
the present manual.
The casing of the meter may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do
not use any solvents or cleaning agents which might scratch the casing (powders, pastes, etc.).
Clean the probe with water and dry it. Before the probe is stored for a prolonged period of time it is
recommended to grease it with any machine lubricant.
The reels and test leads should be cleaned with water and detergents, and then dried.
The electronic system of the meter does not require maintenance.
8
Storage
In the case of storage of the device, the following recommendations must be observed:
Disconnect all the test leads from the meter.
Clean the meter and all its accessories thoroughly.
Wind the long test leads onto the reels.
In the case the meter is to be stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be removed
from the device.
In order to prevent a total discharge of the accumulators in the case of a prolonged storage, charge
them from time to time.
9
Dismantling and utilisation
Worn-out electric and electronic equipment should be gathered selectively, i.e. it must not be placed
with waste of another kind.
Worn-out electronic equipment should be sent to a collection point in accordance with the law of
worn-out electric and electronic equipment.
Before the equipment is sent to a collection point, do not dismantle any elements.
Observe the local regulations concerning disposal of packages, worn-out batteries and accumula-
tors.
