    DIGITAL interface circuitry. Since all programming is contained on one single EPROM chip, earlier Logic Series Charger models already in the field may not contain the latest DIGITAL software. The DIGITAL batteries will simply require a new EPROM chip to set up complete communication.

  • Page 6: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The Logic Series Digital Battery System couples the most advanced NiCad battery and charging technology with the first and only capacity measurement system in the industry. 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.
  • Page 7 6. High Voltage Design - The 14.4 volt design of the Logic Series DIGITAL battery complies precisely with equipment manufacturers’ specifications, eliminating all the problems that cripple 12 volt batteries.

  • Page 8: High Voltage Design

    The Logic Series DIGITAL battery, like all professional Anton/Bauer camera batteries, are designed in a 14.4 volt configuration with full discharge rating of 12 volts. Thus, the Logic Series DIGITAL battery will always deliver 100% capacity before the equipment ever reaches its cutoff point.

  • Page 9: Applications

    CAUTION: Certain older equipment is not designed to accept 14.4 volt NiCad batteries. The 14.4 volt DIGITAL battery could damage such equipment. Check with the equipment manufacturer or the Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group prior to using a 14.4 volt battery. DIGITAL PROPAC The Digital ProPac battery is the ideal source for all cameras and camcorders.

  • Page 10: High Rate Discharge

    HIGH RATE DISCHARGE For a given size and battery type, higher discharge currents will reduce overall life expectancy while lower discharge currents will enhance overall battery life. The DIGITAL battery incorporates a unique feature that will flash the “LCD” display when a high rate discharge current (equipment load) is applied to the battery.

  • Page 11: Charging With Logic Series Chargers

    DIGITAL batteries from the charger more than 8 hours prior to actual use. For best results, this battery should be returned to the Logic Series charger within 48 hours of being used. Please read the individual charger Owner’s Manual to become acquainted with the many unique features of the Logic Series chargers.

  • Page 12: Over-Discharged Batteries

    Returning batteries to the Logic Series Lifesaver Charger as soon as possible after use, and leaving batteries in the Lifesaver mode until just prior to using will avoid this type of over-discharge condition.

  • Page 13: Liquid Crystal Display (Lcd)

    LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) The “RealTime” LCD display provides on-the-fly remaining run time estimates in 15 minute increments as well as simultaneously providing remaining capacity information using the traditional “Fuel Gauge” approach. No special adapters or set up is required. RealTime automatically calculates the load and displays capacity information and battery status at all times.
  • Page 14 If the INTERACTIVE segment flashes, this indicates the battery has requested to be fully charged and discharged in order to update its “learned capacity”. This “learning” or “calibration” should typically occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not been fully charged and discharged for some time, this indication will appear.

  • Page 15: Realtime Display Indications

    RealTime Display Indications • When the battery is being charged no remaining runtime is displayed. • Remaining run time is calculated using the present available battery capacity and a constantly updated accurate measurement of the present load on the battery. •...

  • Page 16: Preventative Maintenance

    The older style MP4-D, coupled with a DM-4, will allow you to run similar diagnostic programs as a PowerCharger. It is strongly recommended that all users of the Logic Series DIGITAL Battery System have at least one PowerCharger complete with a DDM, or MP4-D/DM-4 combination.

  • Page 17: Guidelines For Optimum Performance And Maximum Life

    2. Use only Anton/Bauer Logic Series Lifesaver Chargers and keep batteries on the charger until just prior to being used. 3. Return batteries to the Logic Series Charger as soon as possible after use, preferably within 24 hours. 4. Do not over-discharge batteries - It is quite proper to discharge a battery until a low voltage warning in the camera or VTR is observed.
  • Page 18 Cleaning the terminals with a pencil eraser or lightly scraping the surface with a blunt instrument will help reduce this situation. Anton/Bauer publishes a comprehensive “Video Battery Handbook” to help you further maximize the life and performance of your new DIGITAL battery.

  • Page 19: Service

    In the unlikely event a DIGITAL battery fails to deliver acceptable performance, it must be returned to the Anton/Bauer Service Department, the only facility qualified and equipped to service the Logic Series DIGITAL batteries and calibrate the electronic components and sensors. Any attempt by...
