External Connections
2.2.1 Scale Base to Indicator
Connect the load cell cable to the indicator as shown below:
Note: To connect Catapult 5000 to other bases, an optional loadcell connector (PN:30101021) needs to be
purchased and soldered as shown above.
2.2.2 AC Power to Indicator
Connect the AC Adapter to the power receptacle, then plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet.
2.2.3 Battery Power (optional)
The indicator can be operated on an internal rechargeable battery (purchased separately, see section 7.2)
when AC power is not available. The indicator will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power
failure or the power cord is removed.
Attention:
Before using the indicator for the first time, the internal rechargeable battery should be
fully charged for up to 12 hours. The indicator can be operated during the charging
process. The battery is protected against overcharging and the indicator can remain
connected to the AC power line.
Connect AC power to the indicator and allow it to charge. While the battery is charging, the triangle above the
battery function symbol will light. When the battery is fully charged, this triangle will disappear.
The indicator can operate for up to 80 hours on a fully charged battery.
During battery operation, a flashing triangle above the battery function symbol indicates the battery is low and
requires recharging. Approximately 30 minutes of operation will remain when the battery symbol starts to
blink. The indicator will display Lo.BAT and automatically turn off when the battery is fully discharged.
