7.0 Probe Shield Care and Replacement If you have an HI-6122, HI-6022, HI-6105, or HI-6005 Field Probe, over time the probe shields (the cone-shaped structures with axis labels) may accumulate foreign materials that could become embedded in the shield surface. Probe shields must be kept clean to maintain proper operation. If the probe shields need to be replaced, you may order them from ETS-Lindgren. Follow these steps to replace the probe shields: 1. Remove the nylon screws from the probe shield. 2.
PAGE 70
4. Replace the screws snugly without over-tightening them. Over-tightening the screws may damage the screw heads. If you require additional nylon screws, you may order them from ETS-Lindgren or obtain them locally. Non-conductive screws must be used for this application. Never use metal screws. 5. 70 Repeat this procedure for the other shields, if necessary.

Appendix B: Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger for NiMH Batteries The HI-6053 Field Probe contains four AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, and uses the Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before operating the Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger, see General Safety Considerations on page ix. INTRODUCTION The H-491198-01 Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Charger is a dual power source battery charger. It charges 4.
PAGE 74
BATTERY LIFE The NiMH batteries powering the battery-operated probe have high energy density for maximum operating time between charges, but also have a significant self-discharge characteristic. When the probe is stored for longer than a week or two, the batteries will discharge even though not in use. Leaving the batteries in a discharged condition for long periods of time may result in reduced battery life. For optimum testing time, charge the batteries before use.
PAGE 75
Fully charged batteries (nominal output voltage of 4.8 VDC) provide up to 30 hours of operation. When the batteries have discharged to 4.4 VDC, the probe will operate, but the batteries need to be charged. When the voltage drops below 4.0 VDC, measurement accuracy may be compromised by continued operation. When the battery voltage indication is less than 4 volts, a low battery indication is attached to the output data string warning of the problem.
PAGE 76
CHARGING INDICATORS The following LEDs are located on the front of the battery charger: • POWER ON (green)—Indicates the battery charger is connected to the AC power source. • NO BATTERY (amber)—Indicates the battery charger does not detect a battery. • PENDING (amber)—Indicates the battery charger detects a battery. Before fast charging can begin, the battery voltage must fall within predetermined acceptable limits.
PAGE 77
Following the maximum time of 180 minutes, a pulse-trickle charge mode is used to compensate for the self-discharge of the batteries while idle in the charger. The fast charge current is low enough that there is not always enough heating of the battery cells to cause the voltage to drop. With no voltage drop there is no peak voltage detection, and the fast charge will terminate after the maximum time of 180 minutes is reached.
PAGE 78
DISCHARGING A BATTERY To discharge the batteries: 1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge. 2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe. 3. Press the DISCHARGE button on the battery charger. The batteries will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.

Output Open Circuit Voltage: 12 Vdc Fast Charge Pending Current: 2.0 mA Fast Charge Current: 220 mA Pulsed Trickle Charge Current: 2.0 mA Output Voltage (During Fast Charge): 4–8 Vdc Environmental Operating Temperature: 10°C to 40°C 50°F to 104°F Humidity: 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS • • Operate the battery charger with care. There are no user serviceable parts inside the battery charger. Opening the battery charger housing may void your warranty.
PAGE 80
REPLACING THE FUSE Disconnect the battery charger from power before replacing a fuse. If the battery charger fails to operate, check for a blown fuse inside the power entry module. A blown fuse must be replaced with the same value and type of fuse, or an unsafe condition may result. Use only 250 Volt, 1.0 Amp, Type T (5 mm x 20 mm) fuses. To replace a fuse: 1. Two fuses are located in the fuse drawer in the power input module. Use a screwdriver to open the drawer. 2.

Following the maximum time of 180 minutes, a pulse-trickle charge mode is used to compensate for the self-discharge of the battery while idle in the charger. The batteries are small, and the fast charge current is low. The fast charge current is low enough that there is not always enough heating of the battery cells to cause the voltage to drop. With no voltage drop there is no peak voltage detection, and the fast charge will terminate after the maximum time of 180 minutes is reached.

DISCHARGING A BATTERY To discharge a battery: 1. Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the OFF position or the battery will not charge. 2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then connect the charger output to the charger jack on the probe. 3. Press the DISCHARGE button on the battery charger. The battery will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.
