DATAMAN S4 MANUAL

FUNC SETUP = Advanced 69

The battery charger is prevented from working
if the battery is too cold or too hot i.e. not
between min and max. If you want to adjust
these levels, one degree centigrade is about
2.7 points.

Max Batt Temp AA =42°C

Min Batt Temp 64 = 15°C


The following parameters govern the operation
of the Fuel Gauge. Charge time and discharge
time are proportional to the number of seconds
needed to change battery contents by one
ma/hr. Smaller values will make the apparent
rate of charge or discharge faster. Values
should be adjusted on test if accuracy of the
Fuel Gauge is important.

Deep and Normal Discharge govern the
automatic operation of the Battery Charger.
They are set to 25% and 75% on a cold start.
The rule is that if a charger is connected when
S4 is switched on, the battery will be charged if
the Fuel Gauge shows less than Norm
Discharge level.
When S4 is in operation with the charger
connected, the Fuel Gauge is allowed to fall to
the Deep Discharge level before the battery is
recharged.
