Timy3 (Design 2)
This measurement took place without the Timy3 supplying external devices (e. g. no supply of
photocells) and for the WP with 3 printed lines per minute.
Battery types:
Alkaline batteries: These batteries must never be used in a Timy3 with integrated printer.
Alkaline batteries can only supply about 10 % of their original capacity at temperatures
of -20 °C. Thus they are only recommendable for warm weather. For environmental reasons it
is also recommendable that rechargeable batteries are used.
NiMH battery pack NM-TIMY2: The NiMH rechargeable battery pack is recommended for
every Timy3. These newly developed batteries dispose of an enormous persistence even at
very low temperatures and can supply a high current for the printer.
Charging:
The rechargeable batteries are charged inside the Timy3 with charger PS12 or PS12A, no
matter if the Timy3 is switched on or off. The charging period with NiMH batteries (NM-TIMY2)
takes with 1.5 Ah approx. 14 hours.
Charging Switch:
The Timy3 has got a switch (hidden behind the
battery label) for switching on or off the rechargea-
ble battery charging.
Using alkaline batteries, the charging must be
switched off - position ALKALI -, as otherwise the
batteries may leak.
During the operation with rechargeable batteries,
the switch should be on position NiCd/NiMH so that
the rechargeable batteries are charged.
Attention:
Never use alkaline batteries in a
Timy3 when the charging switch is set
to NiCd/NiMH and a charger is connected.
Operating period:
The operating period depends on the Timy3 model, the batteries utilized and the ambient tem-
perature.
