5.1. Power Supply/ rechargeable battery
The rechargeable battery is permanently installed and can
only be changed by a Testo service center.
The measuring instrument is supplied with a partially
charged rechargeable battery.
> Charge the rechargeable battery fully before using the
measuring instrument.
5.1.1. Charging the rechargeable battery
The rechargeable battery can only be charged at an ambient
temperature of ±0 to +35°C (±32 to + 95°F). If the battery has been
discharged completely, the charging time at room temperature is
approx. 5-6 hrs.
Charging in the measuring instrument

measuring instrument.
Battery care
> Do not fully deplete the rechargeable battery.
> Only store instrument with battery charged and at low
temperatures, but not below 0°C (32°F) (best storage conditions
with a charge level of 50-75% = 2 segments, at an ambient
temperature of 10-20°C (50-68°F), recharge completely before
use).
> The rechargeable battery life depends on the storage, operating
and ambient conditions. The available useful life of the
rechargeable battery reduces with frequent use. If the useful life
is significantly shortened, the rechargeable battery should be
replaced.
5.1.2. AC operation
1. Connect the plug of the power supply to the power socket on
the measuring instrument.
2. Connect the power supply plug into a AC wall plug.
- The measuring instrument is powered by the power supply.

is opened automatically.
Following initial commissioning, the configuration menu can also be
opened again by pressing the right function key [set] during the
instrument's initialization phase (a duration of approx. 4 seconds).
The values for country version, measuring units, time and date can
be set.

5.3. Measuring
5.3.1. Preparing for measurement
5.3.1.1. Zeroing phases
Gas sensors
If flue gas measurement ( ) or ambient CO measurement ( ) is
configured, the gas sensors are zeroed when the instrument is
switched on (zeroing phase).
T
he flue gas probe must be in clean ambient air during the
zeroing phase!
Pressure sensor
If draft measurement (
configured, the pressure sensor is zeroed when the instrument is
switched on (zeroing phase).
Measuring the combustion air temperature
During the zeroing phase, the temperature is measured via the
thermocouple of the flue gas probe. This temperature is saved by
the instrument once the zeroing phase has been completed. All
subsequent parameters are calculated using this value. Please,
ensure that the flue gas probe is near the intake duct of the burner
during the zeroing phase to save the proper temperature.
