  • Page 6: Introduction

    The Anton/Bauer DIGITAL battery uses InterActive Logic Series technology which includes sensors, a microprocessor controller and data circuits in the battery to communicate with an Anton/Bauer charger as well as video cameras for precise and dependable performance. The microprocessor actually allows the battery to learn its capacity as it is used, constantly updating the status of the fuel gauge.
  • Page 7 Sony, Ikegami, Panasonic, JVC, Grass Valley, and Hitachi. Cameras and camcorders are now available that feature Anton/Bauer compatible InterActive systems that connect with the DIGITAL battery “Fuel Computer” and display an accurate “Fuel Gauge” of remaining battery capacity in the viewfinder.

    The Logic Series connector assembly features multiple gold plated, self aligning contacts and is compatible with all existing Anton/Bauer camera mounts and accessories. 9. Individual Computer Testing - Like all professional Anton/Bauer batteries, the Logic Series DIGITAL battery has been individually computer tested.

    APPROVED COPY A7595-0313 DA-B545 Sht 11 of 24 CHARGING WITH LOGIC SERIES CHARGERS Charge this battery fully before using. Allow the battery to reach a steady green (Lifesaver) mode before using. Charging is automatic on all Logic Series chargers. The flashing red and green lights indicate the charger and battery are establishing communications.
  • Page 12: Over-Discharged Batteries

    A battery that has been inadvertently allowed to become over-discharged will automatically trigger a special rejuvenation routine contained in all Anton/Bauer Logic Series Chargers. In such cases the red/green alternating LED’s, on the charger, indicate that the automatic rejuvenation cycle is bringing the battery back up to a safe charging voltage.
