Instructions for Cleaning

Wiping the unit with a soft cloth or wipe with isopropyl alcohol is sufficient to clean the

unit. Avoid the use of acetone and other organic solvents which will damage the handle.

All components inside the nosepiece may be autoclaved with the exception of the

Drummond Self-locking Filter. Replace the filter when compromised.

Always disconnect the charger/power supply from the unit when cleaning.

Battery

The XL is powered by a 3.6V, nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), rechargeable battery (14)

(catalog number: 4-000-036). It is not the same battery used in our other

Portable Pipet- ids

Battery replacement is a user function. Although the batteries are rechargeable,

they have a limited life span of generally 2-3 years or 1000 cycles. To replace the

battery, remove the nosepiece, remove the hand rest by prying off, unscrew the

4 Phillips screws, lay the unit down on the bench with the screw holes up, open up

the unit carefully, unplug the old battery, and replace with a new battery. Batteries

are available from your local lab equipment supplier or direct from Drummond

Scientific Company.*

IMPORTANT: BATTERY SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR A MINIMUM

OF SIX HOURS BEFORE INITIAL USE.

When not in use, plug in the charger/power supply and let charge overnight.

The GREEN LED will light up when charging.

The green LED will remain on as long as the charger is plugged into the unit.

An internal circuit will prevent overcharging.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY CHARGER OTHER THAN THE ONE SUPPLIED (4-000-065).

THIS UNIT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER DRUMMOND CHARGERS.

ALTHOUGH MANY OTHER CHARGERS WILL FIT INTO THE UNIT, CHARGING WILL NOT

OCCUR OR DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY WILL RESULT.

While using the unit and the battery charge becomes insufficient to operate the unit,

plug in the charger and continue using the unit. Charging will take place while in use.

The charger also functions as a power supply.

All rechargeable batteries have a limited life span. Generally each battery will last

approximately 1000 cycles (charges) and then must be replaced. Replacement is a

user function and will require a Phillips head screwdriver, a new battery (4-000-036),

and about two minutes of your time. (See above)

*Use only recommended battery for replacement (DSC #4-000-036). Do not replace the battery with a

non-rechargeable battery. Explosion or fire hazard can occur if incorrect battery replacement is used.
