Battery pack

A rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack powers the analyzer. A typical charge should last

for more than 8 hours of continuous use. The analyzer displays a low-battery warning

when the remaining charge reaches a set level; the default is 15 percent. If the battery

pack fully discharges, you do not lose any data or settings.

The battery pack is shipped in storage mode to protect the battery charge. Refer to 

Section 2.4 to activate the battery pack.

You do not need to discharge or calibrate the battery pack. The hardware optimizes

battery pack performance. Contact technical support if you experience any problems or

for instructions on how to store or replace the battery pack.

WARNING!

Use only Emerson battery packs with the AMS 2140. The analyzer will not function if a nonEmerson battery pack is used. Lithium-Ion batteries have very specific charging requirements.

Emerson power supplies and chargers are designed to work with the Emerson Lithium-Ion

battery pack. Using battery packs other than approved Emerson battery packs could not only

void the warranty, but could also be hazardous.

2.7.1 Access the battery pack

The battery pack is located on the back of the analyzer. To access the battery, remove the

six screws that attach it to the analyzer

Figure 2-4: Six battery pack screws

WARNING!

Remove the battery pack only in a non-hazardous area.

2.7.2 Battery pack and power supply precautions

Understand and follow the precautions below before using the battery pack and power

supply.

• Do not use Emerson’s battery packs, power supplies, and chargers with any product

other than their corresponding Emerson product.

• Use only Emerson’s power supplies and chargers approved for use with the AMS

2140 and Emerson’s battery packs. Using any power supplies and chargers other

than Emerson’s approved power supplies and battery packs could not only void the

warranty, but will also most likely damage the analyzer or the battery pack.

• Do not change or remove the battery pack in the AMS 2140 with the power supply

connected to the analyzer. The AMS 2140 or battery pack may be damaged.

• When charging the AMS 2140 with the battery pack or the battery pack by itself,

ensure the ambient temperature where charging is occurring is 50° F to 95° F (10° C

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).

WARNING!

• Use only Emerson’s battery packs with the AMS 2140. The analyzer will not function if a

non-Emerson battery pack is used. Lithium-Ion batteries have very specific charging

requirements. Emerson-supplied power supplies and chargers are designed to work

with Emerson’s Lithium-Ion battery pack. Using battery packs other than Emerson’s

approved battery packs could not only void the warranty, but could also be hazardous.

• Charge, remove, and replace the battery pack only in a non-hazardous area.

2.7.3 View the battery charge level

View the remaining charge level from the analyzer Home screen or from the LEDs on the

battery pack.

Procedure

Do one of the following:

• From the Home screen, view the remaining battery charge on the lower left side of the

screen.

• Press the button on the inside of the battery pack. Each LED indicates approximately 20

percent remaining charge

Figure 2-5: Check the remaining charge from the battery pack

Note

If the battery pack has been placed in storage mode, the LEDs do not operate.

2.7.4 Charge the battery pack

The analyzer is fully operational during charging. As a best practice, charge the battery

pack frequently. Emerson recommends you charge the battery pack the night before you

intend to use it.

WARNING!

• Use only Emerson-supplied power supplies and chargers approved for use with the AMS

2140 and Emerson battery packs. Using any power supplies and chargers other than

approved Emerson power supplies and battery packs could not only void the warranty,

but will also most likely damage the analyzer or the battery pack.

• When charging the AMS 2140 with the battery pack or the battery pack by itself, ensure
