At the end of battery useful life, the battery must be recycled or
disposed of properly, in order to protect the environment.
The rechargeable battery does not show the "memory effect" and there are no
restrictions to start charging it as many times as is needed. However the battery
could be damaged if remains in deep discharge for a while.
To avoid this effect, charge the battery before left the equipment in storage and
don't let pass more than 30 days without recharge, even if the instrument wasn't
used (under storage, the battery loses part of its charge).
7. RS232 output
The equipment has an RS232 output in the control panel that can be used
to register measurements in a serial printer or data collector. The outputs
are the following ones:
Pin 2: Rx ; Pin 3: Tx ; Pin 5: Gnd;
Rate: 4800 bps
8 bits - no parity - 1 stop bit (8,n,1)
Note: In order to assure the compatibility with most printers available in
the market, the resistance units are shown with the following symbols:
uR = micro-ohm
mR = milli-ohm
R = ohm
