BATTERY OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY

Scan Optics recommend the use of sealed rechargeable lead-acid 12V batteries such as Scan Optics
Cat Nos. SO-251 (small, light, lower (7Ah) capacity) and SO-9210 (large, heavy, higher (35Ah)
capacity). These batteries are maintenance-free and can be operated, charged or stored in any
position without leakage.
1. If the power supply is to be connected to a 12-volt dc supply, remove the battery cable from
the case and connect the cable to the 12-volt connector on middle of the front panel on the
power supply. Refer to figure 6.
2. Connect the red battery clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the negative
battery terminal. The power supply will not operate if the terminals are reversed

The mains power supply must have a protective earth conductor. If
there in no earth conductor, or if the integrity of the earth conductor
arrangement is in doubt, the equipment must be operated from a 12Vdc
power source.
When the ON/OFF switch is selected to ON, the power supply indicator on
the switch will light and an audible 'beep' should be heard.
Earthing is not required when a 12-volt supply is used alone.
The 12 volt supply must be direct current. The power supply will not operate
with 12 volts alternating current.
Do not charge these batteries in a sealed container.
Avoid short-circuiting batteries.
Old l e ad-acid batteries of any type must be disposed of correctly. It is
recommended that they are recycled by an appropriate establishment who
recycle car batteries. Lead acid batteries should not be disposed of with
ordinary waste, as lead poisoning or acid trauma may result.
