Description
Description
The HP E1779A is a battery pack that will typically power an HP ESA
spectrum analyzer from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the model
number and the options installed in the analyzer. (See Chapter 4,
“Characteristics,” for more information about run time.)
Panel Description
The battery pack has gold plated electrical contacts (1). A protective
rubber safety boot (2) is attached to protect the contacts when the
battery pack is not installed. A charging connector (5) is provided for
attachment of the charger power supply. Adjacent to the charging
connector are two LED indicator lights (4) to give visual information of
the charging status. The latches (3) on each side of the battery pack are
for attaching the battery pack to the spectrum analyzer. There is a hole
(6) provided for the rubber safety boot plug to hold the boot in place
when the battery pack is attached to the spectrum analyzer.
CAUTION The battery pack is NOT water resistant. It must be protected from
liquids and other contaminants which could be spilled on the connector
face.

Power Cable
The battery pack charger power supply is equipped with a three-wire
power cable, in accordance with international safety standards. When
connected to an appropriate power line outlet, this cable grounds the
charger power supply case.
WARNING F ailure to ground the charger power supply properly can result
in personal injury. Insert the main power cable plug only into a
socket outlet that has a protective earth contact. DO NOT
defeat the earth-grounding protection by using an extension
cable, power cable, or autotransformer without a protective
ground conductor.
If you are using an autotransformer, make sure its common
terminal is connected to the protective earth contact of the
power source outlet socket.
Various power cables are available to connect the charger power supply
to the types of ac power outlets unique to specific geographic areas. You
will receive the cable appropriate for the area to which the charger
power supply is originally shipped. You can order additional ac power
cables for use in different areas. The following table lists the available
ac power cables, illustrates the plug configurations, and identifies the
geographic area in which each cable is appropriate.
