4.0 Basics
4.1 Setup
The Setup topic offers a brief description of the system hardware configuration.
4.1.1 Charging the Power Pack Battery
Because the M.O.L.E. profiler is powered by a rechargeable Power Pack battery, it is
important that it is charged and operating properly prior to performing every experiment.
A spare Power Pack battery may be ordered so the one battery is charging while the
other one is being used.
To charge the power pack battery:
1) Slide the interchangeable plug into the adaptor until it clicks indicating that is fully
seated.
2) Plug the transformer end of the charger into a wall outlet and the USB connector
end into the Power Pack.
A completely discharged Power Pack takes about 8 hours to be fully
charged. For quick charges, the Power Pack battery can be charged for
15 minutes allowing one 10 minute data run to be performed.
3) When the charging cycle is complete, connect the Power Pack to the M.O.L.E..
♦27♦
MEGAM.O.L.E.® Help System Guide
The Power Pack battery can be charged continuously whenever the
M.O.L.E. profiler is not being used, however, if the M.O.L.E. profiler is
going to sit idle for five days or more, you may want to remove it from
the charger.
