Battery Safe Mode
2-81. Battery Safe Mode
In order to protect the battery pack from being damaged by a complete
discharge, the QuickBERT-T1 and QuickCHECK-T1 incorporate a Battery
Safe mode. If the test set is left on, the power supply will shut down internally
to prevent a complete discharge. When the unit has entered the Battery Safe
mode, it will no longer respond to the ON/OFF switch. To exit the Battery
Safe mode, you must recharge the battery.
2-82. Battery Pack
The QuickBERT-T1 and QuickCHECK-T1 incorporate a NiMH rechargeable
battery pack. This battery pack provides a working voltage of 3.6 V at 1 amp
for 3 hours, and has a battery life of approximately 4.75 hours of continuous
operation (with a fully-charged battery pack). The charging voltage is 9-12
VDC and the rated current is 1 amp. A regulated or unregulated 12-V, 1-amp,
DC power adapter may be used for charging. A 12-V, fused, automotive,
cigarette lighter adapter may also be used where AC is not available.
The NiMH battery packs are not serviceable. To charge, connect the unit's 12-
V power source to the DC jack. A full charge takes five hours. The bi-color
LED located on the top panel of the unit indicates the charging status of the
battery pack. The LED illuminates red to indicate the battery pack has entered
the charging state. The LED illuminates green to indicate the battery pack is
fully charged and has entered the "top off" or "trickle" charge state. If the
battery pack is absent from the unit, the LED will remain off.
