Start-Up and Use
Menu Items 8 and beyond are for use only by qualified service
technicians. Information about these options is available in the
NPB-290 service manual.
BATTERY OPERATION
The NPB-290 has an internal battery that may be used to power
the monitor during transport or when AC power is not available.
A new, fully charged battery provides a minimum of 8 hours of
monitoring time if there are no alarms or serial or analog output
devices connected.
Note: Whenever the monitor is connected to AC power, the
battery is being charged. Therefore, it is recommended
that the monitor remain connected to AC power when not
in use. This makes available a fully charged battery for
use at any time.
A completely discharged battery can be fully recharged in
approximately 14 hours, whether the monitor is turned on or off.
Since the monitor cannot operate with a dead battery, before
attempting to turn on an NPB-290 whose battery charge has been
depleted, first plug the monitor into an AC outlet to allow the
battery to charge for a few minutes. The monitor then may be
powered on.
Low Battery Indicator
When 15 minutes or less of monitoring time is available on the
existing battery charge, the Low Battery indicator lights and a
low priority alarm sounds. This alarm is unsilenceable while
running on battery power. Connect to AC power to silence the
alarm.
Note: If the AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel does
not match your AC voltage source, the monitor may run
on battery power, even though it is plugged in, which will
eventually result in a low priority alarm and a lighted low
battery indicator. Ensure that the switch setting matches
your AC voltage source.
If the monitor is not connected to AC power within
approximately 15 minutes, it shuts down.
