Using a battery unit as a backup power supply When the LV-40BW pump is connected to an AC power outlet with the pump connected to a BU-24B/BU-24L, the pump will run on the AC power supply. However, when power supply is no longer supplied from the AC power supply due to a power failure, for example, electrical power is automatically supplied from the BU-24B/BU-24L.
The TF98 glass fiber filter PTFE binding is attached to the AN-200, NW-354 and C-30 (9.6 L/min). On other holders, the AP2005500 glass fiber filter is attached. How to Charge the Battery When the [LOW BATTERY] lamp on the LV-40BW lights, this indicates that the battery is about to expire. Charge the battery immediately.
Page 14
* If the [CHARGE] lamp does not change color to green even considerably after 15 hours of charging, a probable cause is a malfunctioning battery. Immediately disconnect the power cable, and contact your Sibata distributor. * Be sure to ground this product. Before inserting the power cable into the power outlet, be sure to ground this product beforehand.
