Power Supply |
Rechargeable 4.8-V nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack, 3.3-Ah capacity or Rechargeable 4.8-V nickel cadmium (NiCad) battery pack, 1.8-Ah capacity A battery eliminator is available (see Ordering Information); use voids the UL Listing for intrinsic safety. |
Battery Charging Time (varies with battery capacity and level of discharge) |
6 to 8.5 hrs using PowerFlex Charger |
Temperature |
Operating: 32 to 104 F (0 to 40 C) Storage: -4 to 113 F (-20 to 45 C) Charging: 50 to 113 F (10 to 45 C) |

0 to 95% non-condensing |
Flow Fault |
If pump is unable to compensate for longer than 15 seconds due to excessive back pressure, the pump enters flow fault. During flow fault, the pump stops, the fault icon appears on the display, and elapsed time remains on the display. Auto-restart is attempted up to 5 times. Elapsed time information will be lost on restart.
|
Low Battery Fault |
LCD displays low battery icon and pump shuts down. LCD remains on. |
LCD Time Display |
LCD display shows elapsed pump run time in minutes up to 99,999. |
LCD Indicator |
LCD always remains on. Displayed elapsed run time information resets when pump is started. |
