Power Supply and Battery

This analyzer runs on the attached AC adapter or the built-in rechargeable battery.

Power Source

The analyzer runs by the attached AC adapter or the built-in Lithium Ion battery. The battery running time is approximately 2 hours (this may vary depending on analyzer usage). It does not run on bus power from the USB device port.

Diagram: A simple illustration shows the analyzer connected to an AC adapter.

Charge the Battery

The built-in Lithium Ion battery is charged when the power is supplied by the AC adapter. It can also be charged by the USB device port.

Power supply Analyzer Status Charge Time Power LED blinking
AC adapter OFF (Stop measuring) About 3.5 hours Approx. 1 sec cycle
ON (Measuring) Max. 6 hours *1 Approx. 4 sec cycle
USB bus power OFF (Use attached USB cable) Max. 6 hours *1 Approx. 4 sec cycle
ON (Use Type-C battery charger etc.) *2 About 4.5 hours Approx. 1.5 sec cycle
ON (Connect to PC) No charge No blinking

*1: This will not be full charging because of the small amount of current (approx. 160mA).

*2: It will be the same when it connects to the PC with a USB port in Type-C connector.

This analyzer is not fully charged before shipping. To use the analyzer for the first time, charge it fully. Charge the analyzer under temperatures of 5 to 40 °C. Charging will not start below 5 °C. If you are not going to use it for a long term, charge the battery fully. After that, try to charge the battery every 6 months.

Replacement of battery

If the analyzer can no longer be driven by the battery, or the service time after charging becomes extremely short, replace the battery. Refer to the instruction manual for more details on battery replacement. Old batteries must be handled appropriately.
