USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Charging the battery
The battery charger starts a charge cycle when a battery is inserted (the green LED starts blinking). The
battery charging of the radio control takes place in two consecutive steps:
•
first step with a high current, to reach the level of nominal charge in short time;
•
second step, with a low current, to maintain the charge reached until the battery is removed.
The time normally used to recharge a dead battery is about 3 hours (the green LED is lit up steady).
If the voltage at the device is lost, the battery charger, recalls the last work mode and resumes charging
in "fast" or "maintenance" mode when power is restored.
As a precaution the battery charger stops always to charge after 3 hours, even if the battery has not
reached full charge. When charge is finished, the green LED will remain on at all times.
Battery charge with serial cable
If the operator is using the platform panel with the serial cable connected, the battery in the battery
compartment is automatically recharged.
In case of need the platform panel can be used as alternative instrument for the charge of the batteries
even when the system is not used.
Insert the battery into the appropriate compartment (emergency stop button of the platform panel pressed)
and connect the serial cable between platform panel and central unit. The charging time is approximately
12-14 hours.
