Power Supply and Charging

®
The RCS High Flow Touch Microbial Air Sampler is
equipped with an integrated Lithium-ion battery.
Recharging of the battery is performed with the
supplied power supply or an optional Docking Station
(Art. No. 1.44256.0001). For a new instrument the
total capacity of the battery corresponds to more
than 30 x1000 L measurements. With lower sampling
volumes the amount of potential measurements
increases accordingly.
The battery status is indicated by the RCS
Flow Touch software:
• Upper: status bar of the main menu. The
number displayed is dependent on the selec-
ted sampling volume. The number >30 indi-
cates that more than 30 measurements are
feasible.
• Middle: Status bar of the main menu with
connected power supply or docking station.
As of 90% recharging the charging status
is indicated (here: 93%).
• Lower: System information (menu path:
Setting - Option - System): The upper symbol
indicates the total capacity of the battery.
This is independent of the actual battery
charging status. The lower symbol indicates
the actual charging status and the number
of remaining measurements (right) dependent
on the selected sample volume (left).
Charging with the Power Supply
Connect the power supply with the outlet. Remove
the protection cap that covers the power supply
socket at the left hand side of the instrument and
connect the power supply with the RCS
Touch Microbial Air Sampler.
Charging with the Docking Station
®
High
Connect the power supply with the outlet. Then,
connect the docking station with the power supply.
The electrical supply is indicated by the green LED
signal. Remove the protection cap that covers the
docking station socket at the bottom of the RCS
High Flow Touch Microbial Air Sampler. Place the
instrument into the docking station.
NOTE
• The battery of the instrument might be partially
charged. It is recommended to fully charge the
battery prior to first use.
• Throughout the first charging cycles the total
capacity of the battery may slightly increase.
• Charging of the battery can be performed at
any time. If the battery is completely decharged
a full loading cycle may take 2­3 hours.
• Connected to the power supply the instrument
is capable of performing any number of mea­
surements.
• The minimal remaining battery capacity to
start the air sampling is set to two measure­
ments as per selected volume. This is a safety
feature.
