Software revision, power rating, and model number can be obtained from the Signature
Display. When the LCD shows the main display screen, press the TEST button on the
front panel.
Charging
As with all Anton/Bauer chargers, charging with an InterActive 2000 PowerCharger is
fully automatic. Mount any applicable battery to any open Gold Mount position on the
charger or charge expansion module and the PowerCharger will automatically determine
the appropriate charge routine and execute it.
Applications
All PowerCharger models will charge any combination of Anton/Bauer Logic Series
Gold Mount batteries including models: ProPac 13/14, Compac 13/14, Trimpac 13/14,
Digital ProPac 13/14, Digital Compac 13/14, Digital Trimpac 13/14, InterActive 2000
HyTRON,
and DIONIC batteries.
Each PowerCharger incorporates the exclusive Anton/Bauer InterActive
communication between battery and charger, which allows the charger to identify any
Anton/Bauer battery attached and determine the precise charge routine for that battery
under the prevailing conditions.
When coupled with Anton/Bauer DIGITAL batteries, the PowerCharger has
additional information supplied from the battery which includes:
• serial number of the battery
• the characteristics of the battery, including voltage, capacity and cell chemistry
• date of manufacture
• temperature of the battery
• number of charge and discharge cycles the battery has experienced
• amount of self-discharge the battery has experienced since last being charged
• “learned” capacity of the battery
This information is communicated to the charger by the battery and is incorporated,
through specialized programming and algorithms to optimize the charging of the
DIGITAL battery.
NOTE: Due to the specialized communications between the charger and the
battery, batteries without the Logic Series construction and
communication capability (manufactured by Anton/Bauer before 1989
as well as so-called “rebuilds”) can not be charged with this
PowerCharger. The InterActive communication of Logic Series
batteries is the key which allows the PowerCharger to safely identify and
address new style and chemistry batteries as they are developed.
Moreover, this communication ensures that batteries contain the quality
cells, workmanship and safety of genuine Anton/Bauer products. If non-
Logic Series batteries are placed on the PowerCharger, a message will
appear accompanied by alternating flashing red and green LED
indicators. This indication means that the battery cannot communicate
its identity to the PowerCharger and is not charging.
