8. AUTONOMY - SPECIAL SITUATIONS
We advise the use of good quality batteries.
The autonomy can change a lot depending on the type of batteries.
The tests carried out below refers to impulses given every 6 seconds in REAL TIME mode
SEQUENTIAL SPILT.
Number of impulses at:
0°C 20C°
(32°F) (68°F)
Energizer. Alkaline standard
1'000
5’000
Energizer. Alkaline Titanium (New)
2’500
11’000
Duracell. Alkaline ULTRA m3
2'500
11’000
Energizer. LITHIUM (expensive) 12' 000
16’000
The CP 520 is delivered with Energizer TITANIUM batteries
Use in low temperatures
The CP 520 is able to print until temperatures close to – 25°C!
However, it is necessary to use an external power supply to take advantage of a sufficient autonomy.
We advise the use of a simple battery lead (ref. HL 520-8 accumulator 2.1 Ah delivered with charger and
carry-bag). The autonomy is guaranteed at least for 1 day (at -20°C).
The CP 520 printer
Equipped with an electronic control in order to save batteries when those are used.
New batteries
–
Fast print speed.
Used batteries
– Print speed reduced by 4 times.
Flat batteries
– Printing of LOW BATT and printer off.
When the printer is off , you can switch it on again (menu PRINTER / ON) only if you have an external
power supply connected. The change batteries can also be done after the timekeeping (timing
information will be keep in the memory!).
The print speed is reduced when you switch the CP 520 on.
If the batteries state is good, the printing switch automatically in fast mode.
Caution !
Maximum consumption when a long ranking is required, be sure of the good state of the
batteries.
