Low battery indicator
The low battery warning will be signalled by
the alternate blue flashing of the probe status
LED when the end of the usable battery life
is approaching. Simultaneously, the low battery
LED on the RMI will be lit.
Dead battery indicator
When the battery voltage drops below the
threshold where performance can no longer
be guaranteed, the RMP60 probe status LED
will change to constant red, followed by flashing
red.
Battery specification
The RMP60 requires two identical AA size
batteries, individually rated at a voltage of
between 1.2 V and 3.6 V.
The standard batteries are AA alkaline.
Alternative batteries are lithium thionyl
chloride (3.6 V), Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh).
Rechargeable batteries: either Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMh) or Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
can be used. Expect a battery life of
approximately 50% of alkaline figures.
For applications requiring maximum battery
life, a high capacity lithium thionyl chloride
type is essential.
