Default EW Data logger failure?

Bruno

On the opposite end to the connector there are 2 small round black plastic
plugs. Lever them out with a small penknife. Take out the 2 screws
uncovered and the end plate pops off to show a PP9 9V battery which simply
unclips.

I have 2 rechargeable NiMH cells which I regularly recharge/swap. Works
for me.

Cheers

Martyn

Hi Bruno,

I had an identical problem with our club EW (D) logger only last week.
Fixed it immediately by changing the battery. =A0They thrive on a

fresh
alkaline 9 volt cell, but seem to be very unforgiving of low cell
voltage - ours was a regular "heavy-duty" cell at 8.4 volts (no

load).

Regards,

OK. But how to replace the battery? Do I need to send the Unit back to
the producer in UK?

Impossible to know if the unit is switched ON or OFF. With or without
antenna gives the same result.


Does anybody have an idea of the problem?
