3 GETTING STARTED
3.1 FITTING THE BATTERIES
The Elcometer 215 is powered by 2 x AA alkaline batteries (supplied).
Note: The maximum operating temperature for the batteries supplied is 50°C (122°F).
Prolonged use of the logger in excess of this temperature may require the use of
alternative batteries.
To insert or replace the batteries:
1
Remove the battery cover located on
the rear of the logger
The cover is held in place by a magnetic catch.
2
Insert 2 batteries taking care to ensure
correct polarity.
3
Refit the battery cover.
To view the approximate percentage of battery life remaining, press
the 'Func' key until 'BATTERY' is displayed.
Two AA batteries should give 200 hours of operation using the default
settings. Excessive use of communications via ElcoMaster Software
however, will dramatically reduce battery life.
When batteries are fitted, the logger is switched on but in an idle state,
press the 'Func' key to wake the logger.
Note: Remove the batteries if the logger is to remain unused for a long period of time.
This will prevent damage to the logger in the event of malfunction of the
batteries.
Note: Batteries must be disposed of carefully to avoid environmental contamination.
Please consult your local Environmental Authority for information on disposal in
your region. Do not dispose of any batteries in fire.
