3.4.4 Battery Charger

The enclosed charger has 6 channels (USB sockets). Here you may connect the TMS.Single
charger with the included USB cables and the TMSO.CU.

CAUTION!

Connect the TMSO.CU only with the enclosed special USB fast charging cable!

3.4.5 Wireless Charging Trays (TMS.Single charger)

The charging trays act as energy transmitters for contactless charging of the battery in the
TMSO.IM.
4 pieces (with USB cables) are included with the system so that 4 sensors can be charged
simultaneously.

3.4.6 Micro USB Cable

2  different  types  of  USB  cable  are
supplied.
4  cables  are  provided  for  use  with  the
TMS.Single chargers.

For  charging  the  TMSO.CU  with  a
charger,  the  5th  cable  is  provided,
recognizable by its larger diameter. This
is a special USB fast charging cable with
reinforced  strands  to  conduct  higher
charging current.
