4. START-UP AND OPERATION:
The ADC ® Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base is available as a 230v or 120v model
and suitable for charging of 2.5v or 3.5v handles.
a) Preparation prior to charging
Ensure that the charging base is positioned on a •
level surface. Do not position unit in the direct
vicinity of a radiator and protect against direct
sunlight.
Fluids must not penetrate into the interior of the
•
enclosure. Do not use fluids in close proximity of
the charging base.
Connect unit to an electrical outlet. Ensure that the
•
voltage stated on the rating plate on the bottom of
the unit agrees with the mains voltage. After
connection of the charging base, a self-test is
performed. During the test, the LEDs on the front
of the unit will be repeatedly switched on.
When charging 19mm handles (AA size), insert
•
plastic reducers inhandle recesses. When
charging 28 mm handles (C size), remove
reducers from handle recesses by lifting in an
upward direction before inserting handle.
The ADC® Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base
•
may be used for charging 2.5v and 3.5v
rechargeable batteries respectively. The charging chambers are interchangeable
and may be used with 2.5v or 3.5v battery handles. A 2.5v and 3.5v unit may be
charged simultaneously.
b) Charging
The rechargeable battery is tested when inserted into the charging chamber. At •
voltages of less than 1.5v, the rechargeable battery is either fully discharged or
faulty. The charging base will try to recharge the battery by applying a pulsating
charging current. The yellow charging LED will flash.
For rechargeable battery voltages of more than 1.5v, charging will commence.
•
The yellow charging LED will turn on.
