(C) Battery temperature indicators during fast charging of PI
sensors:
• Green: Battery temperature between +5 and +40°C. Fast
charge is enabled.
• Green and Blue: Battery temperature between 0 and +5°C.
Fast charge is disabled, normal charge is used.
• Green and Red: Battery temperature between +40 and +50°C.
Fast charge disabled, normal charge is used.
• Blue: Battery temperature is below 0°C. No charging takes
place.
• Red: Battery temperature is above +50°C. No charging takes
place.
WARNING
Charging a sensor at sub zero temperature might
develop explosive gases representing a potential
danger. Simrad assumes no liability for improper
charging, or the use of other chargers than those
approved by us.
Automatic configuration
The charger communicates with the sensor at regular intervals.
The fast charge cycle is controlled by data exchanged between
the PI sensor and the charger, and a series of safety mechanisms
controls the termination of the fast charging current.
The PS sensors do not communicate with the charger. A constant
charge current of 58 mA is then set up by the charger regardless
of the battery temperature.
