EMERSONAMS 2140 Machinery Health™ Analyzer

to 35° C).

• When operating the AMS 2140 with the battery pack, ensure the ambient

temperature where the analyzer is being used is -4° F to 122° F ( -20° C to 50° C).

Prevent battery degradation

When storing the AMS 2140 with the battery pack or storing the battery pack by itself for a

prolonged period of time:

• Ensure the ambient temperature where the battery pack is located is -4° F to 95° F

( -20° C to 35° C). Due to the chemical composition of Lithium-Ion battery

technology, over time there will be some degradation that results in a reduced

charge capacity and performance. This degradation is unavoidable and irreversible.

Prolonged storage at temperatures outside this range, especially temperatures

above the high end, speeds up the degradation process.

• Disconnect the power supply from the AMS 2140 or the battery pack.

• When storing for 1–3 months, Emerson recommends removing the battery pack

from the AMS 2140.

• When storing the battery for longer than three months, contact Technical Support

to learn how to enter storage mode. Storage mode protects the battery during long

term storage. In storage mode, the analyzer and battery are non-functional. The

analyzer does not power on and the battery LEDs do not operate. Connect the

charger to the unit to reactivate the battery.

Note

If you do not enter storage mode, ensure the battery capacity is approximately 40 percent

and periodically recharge the battery pack (to approximately 40 percent charge capacity)

during storage to ensure the battery does not drain to low levels.

Prevent damage

To prevent damage to the analyzer:

• Do not connect a signal larger than 0 to 24 volts into the Accel input of the AMS

2140.

• Do not connect a signal larger than +/- 24 volts into the Volts / Tach input of the

AMS 2140.
