The enclosure contains control electronics to properly and safely charge the
batteries. Never remove the batteries from the enclosure and attempt to
charge externally. Only use the recharger supplied (PSC-pbxU).
8.1 Low Battery Indication
When the batteries are charged, there will be no battery indication.
When the batteries are low, the Low Battery icon will blink in the
display. The strobe may still be used for a short time.
Low Battery Icon = Outline blinking (very little time left)
The strobe has a protection feature that prevents the strobe from
operating if the battery voltage is too low. This condition is indicated
by no flash and the display shows “LO BAT”. At this time the
batteries must be recharged (section 8.2 Charging the Batteries) or
powered by the power supply/charger (section 8.3 External Power
Supply/Charger). Remember to release the trigger switch.
8.2 Charging the Batteries
The unit may be recharged at any time. You do not need to wait until
the low battery condition is indicated.
To charge the Nova-Strobe vbx with the power supply/recharger:
1.
Release the trigger so the strobe is off.
2. Plug the recharger cable into the recharger socket (located below
the display panel behind the handle).
3. Plug the recharger into an AC mains wall outlet (115/230 Vac).
CAUTION: Use of rechargers other than the one supplied
(PSC-pbxU) will damage the stroboscope and
void the warranty.
