The other symbols represent important safety advice, and they appear throughout this manual and on the CH0004 in the form of WARNINGS and CAUTIONS against possible hazards to people or equipment, respectively. These safety WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must be followed at all times.
WARNING: Prior to using the CH0004, please read the safety and caution instructions located in this section to prevent the mischarge or catastrophic destruction of a battery. While inherently safe, misuse of the CH0004 may result in damage to the battery and/or the CH0004 battery charger. Specifically: ...
2.1.3 NiCad OR NiMH Battery Detection With the lack of a contact, as with Lithium Ion batteries, the CH0004 will assume that the battery is a Nickel-based chemistry (NiCad or NiMH). The charger will charge at a constant current of 1A while sampling change in voltage.
2.1.5 Unattended Charging The Charge Modules will detect open or shorted cells. If a defective cell is detected the CH0004 will not start the charge cycle. Once Charge is completed the CH0004 will maintain the battery being charged with a trickle charge if battery is left connected to the CH0004.
Physical Description Figure 1 shows the physical layout of the charger. The CH0004 consists of two charge modules, an AC to DC Power Module and a Control/Filter Board. Figure 1: CH0004 Charger (Front View) Functional Description The CH0004 Charger (Figure 1) consists of the following items: ...
CH0004 charge module allows the unattended recharge of batteries. The module also assures a safe and effective recharge of the battery. The charger has a built-in timer to shut off the CH0004 to prevent the battery from being overcharged. The recommended batteries are listed in the table that follows.
The CH0004 automatically determines the battery type connected. The operator can either plug the CH0004 into a power source or attach the batteries to the unit first. Once the batteries are attached and power applied to the unit, the batteries automatically start charging.
Cleaning of the CH0004 is described in the following sections. 4.1.1 Dirt and Dust All external components to the CH0004 can be cleaned with a water dampened non-abrasive cloth and allowed to air dry or wipe dry with a clean dry non-abrasive cloth.
