Getting Started - Inficon D-TEK CO2 Manual De Operación

Getting Started

The D-TEK CO2 is shipped with the infrared cell and power stick installed. The
nickel/metal hydride batteries in the power stick are not yet charged. To charge
them, connect the cord of the AC power adapter to the power jack at the rear of
the instrument, and plug the adapter into the appropriate mains outlet. The battery
charging light (rear left side) will flash when the detector is charging, changing to
steady illumination when the power stick is charged. Allow 10 hours for the full
charge.
NOTE: You should expect 6½ hours of operation from a fully charged power stick.
The D-TEK CO2 will operate on the AC power adapter.

the yellow lamps stop illuminating and you will hear an audible beeping.
