Battery Protective Functions
This section contains the following:
—“Battery Protective Functions (N9910X-876)”
Battery Protective Functions (N9910X-876)
The following protective functions are designed into the lithium-ion rechargeable battery system used in FieldFox.
The protective functions can be divided between two categories: active and passive. Active protection refers to the type of protection that depends on at least two or more protection devices working together to enable the protection Passive protection refers to the type of protection that is always enabled independent of any other protection device.
Primary Overcharge Voltage: This prevents the battery from being charged if the voltage across any cell exceeds approximately 4.25 V per cell. Once the overcharge protection is tripped, the voltage across each cell must drop below approximately 4.10 V to reset the protection and permit charging.
Overdischarge Voltage: This prevents the battery from discharging if the voltage across any cell drops below approximately 2.5 V. Once the overdischarge voltage protection is tripped, the voltage across each cell must be charged to approximately 3 V to reset the protection and permit discharging.
Primary Overcharge Current: This prevents the battery from being charged if the average charging current reaches or exceeds 3.3A for a time period of 5 seconds or more.
Primary Overdischarge Current: This prevents the battery from being discharged if the average current out of the battery reaches or exceeds 7A for a time period of 5 seconds or more. This protection can be reset by removing the load.
Short Circuit Protection: This prevents the battery from being charged or discharged and protects against damage or lost data if the current in or out of the battery reaches or exceeds 33.3A for a time period of 274.5 microseconds or more. This protection can be reset by removing the load.
Overtemperature Charging: The system microcontroller prevents the battery from being charged if the cell temperature exceeds 48C. Once the overtemperature charging protection is tripped, the cell temperature has to drop to or below 43C to reset the protection and permit charging.
Overtemperature Discharging: The system microcontroller prevents the battery from being discharged if the cell temperature exceeds 67C. Once the overtemperature discharging protection is tripped, the battery is automatically shut off which results in turning off the instrument as well.
Reverse Charging: A reverse protection diode prevents against damage or lost data due to a reverse charge polarity applied to the battery terminals.
Primary Overtemperature: The maximum operating temperature of this fuse is 85C. An overtemperature cutout permanently opens at 85C with no recovery.
Secondary Overtemperature: A second PTC polyfuse built into each Li-ion cell will open up and limit current flow at high currents.
Tertiary Overtemperature: A current interrupt device (CID) within each Li-ion cell will permanently open up when an individual cell’s internal pressure is too high. As each cell fuse is permanently interrupted, overall battery performance will become severely degraded, up to and including disabling the battery.
Batteries: Safe Handling and Disposal
Refer to battery manufacture Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for safe handling and disposal information. Battery SDS's are located at: https://regulations.about.keysight.com/msds/default.htm
Battery Transportation
Batteries are generally subject to transportation regulations, refer to the battery Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and contact your shipping department for transportation requirements.
Environmental Requirements
Refer to the FieldFox Specifications in Appendix B:, “Specifications/Data Sheet,” on page 979.
The FieldFox allows you to use either the lithium-ion battery or the AC/DC adapter - both are included.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
The FieldFox was constructed in an ESD protected environment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this instrument are susceptible to damage by static discharge.
Static charges are generated in numerous ways, such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with the FieldFox. To prevent instrument damage, practice industry accepted techniques for handling static sensitive devices when using the FieldFox.
Very often, coaxial cables and antennas also build up a static charge, which, if allowed to discharge by connecting to the FieldFox, may damage the instrument input circuitry. To avoid such damage, it is recommended to dissipate any static charges by temporarily attaching a short to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the instrument.
