Titan Neo COMPONENTS & OPERATION
Before Using the Titan Neo
Power Panel
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery (NiMH) (environmentally friendly)
Battery Care and Maintenance
It is best to plug the Titan Neo into an AC outlet and restore batteries to full
charge condition. Although the batteries were checked and fully charged prior
to shipment, NiMH batteries have a tendency to lose some charge when not
in use.
The power panel is located above the main control panel. Its houses the master
power switch. The internal light in the rocker switch will illuminate “red” when
powered “on”.
When either the AirLink (TX-800) or Digital Delay (DD-800) module is installed
in lieu of the power panel, the power switch is part of its panel.
The NiMH battery is the present day replacement of the (NiCd) Nickel Cadmium
battery. Its energy density is more than double that of Lead Acid and 40%
higher than NiCd batteries thus serving a longer performance per charge.
Relative to size, weight, and capacity; the NiMH battery is the best performing
and cost effective battery for portable applications. Typical life expectancy is
three to five years and will provide approximately 500 hundred full recycles.
Inherent to NiMH batteries, they are prone to self discharge while not in use.
Therefore, it is best to plug the Titan Neo into an AC outlet while in storage.
This will assure full useable charge and ready to use. The regulated power
supply of the Titan Neo will maintain a full charge and not overcharge the
batteries. Although the NiMH battery does not form a memory like the NiCd,
they can form a bit of a barrier at lower discharge levels. It is a good practice
to totally discharge and recharge the batteries once or twice a year to maintain
full service per cycle.
