Chapter 1 — Introduction to the TRAX RD
How is the TRAX RD powered?
The TRAX RD is powered by a rechargeable lead gel battery. The solar
panel also provides power when in the field, which extends the time before
the battery needs to be recharged. Depending upon use, batteries may last
for several months before they need to be recharged manually.
The TRAX RD displays the battery voltage when it is first turned on. This
allows you to determine if there is enough battery power to complete a
study. Generally, battery voltage should register at 6.3 VDC or higher for a
full charge. Note that the RD will automatically shut down when the battery
voltage falls to 5.0. Refer to Chapter 7 Battery Care for more information
on battery maintenance.
Programming the TRAX RD
An OFF/ON switch on top of the front panel is used to turn the RD on and
off. A 16-character display helps you select the proper entries. Two buttons are all that are used to program the RD. The TAB key is used to cycle
through options, while the DO key is used to select an option.
