3.2.2 Battery recharge

•
The ventilator is provided with a battery (NiMh 12Vdc / 4,2Ah) that ensures its
operation for at least 4 hours (if in perfect condition; 3 hours, depending on the
ventilation parameters), in case the mains power supply is cut off.
•
In case of mains power failure the ventilator automatically switches on battery
operation: an alarm will be displayed on the ventilator's screen, along with the
message " POWER SUPPLY FAULT ".
•
The battery can be recharged connecting the ventilator to the mains (100 - 240 Vac or
12Vdc supply).
•
Insert the power supply cable plug (100 - 240
Vac) supplied with the device to the plug
placed on the back of the ventilator.
•
Insert the power supply cable plug (100 - 240
Vac) supplied into the mains socket.

BATTERY RECHARGE
If this is the first time you use the ventilator, charge up the battery for at
least 24 hours (the ventilator must not necessarily be on).
In order to ensure maximum operation autonomy, make sure that the
recharge time is enough: to bring the charging level from 0 to 90% you
need at least 10 hours of recharge with mains supply enabled.
BATTERY LIFE
The battery operation time varies as follows:
• old battery or not fully efficient
• unusual ventilator parameters.
The mains voltage should match the one indicated on the identification
plate placed on the back of the ventilator.
