Do I need to have batteries in the Eagle 2 during continuous operation mode?

No, you do not need the NiMH batteries in the Eagle 2 for continuous operation mode.

In critical applications, we recommended using fully charged NiMH batteries installed as a power back-up.

It is important to note, not to use the continuous operation adapter or charger with alkaline batteries installed in the Eagle 2. This can result in damage to the instrument.

We also recommend using the continuous operation mode only for short term and infrequent extended monitoring events. Please do not try to use it as a substitute for a fixed gas detection system. When using the Eagle 2 in continuous operation mode, the instrument is no longer intrinsically safe.

The battery charger for Eagle 2 (including power adapter as pictured above) is Part Number; 49-2175RK.
