Green flashing light: charging is in progress. 

 

Solid green light: charging is complete. 

 

Red flashing light: there is a fault with the battery charger. Contact your local Carlson service centre for 
advice. 

 

No light: there is no power to the battery charger or no connection with the battery. 

A fully discharged battery requires around three hours to completely recharge from the mains supply. 
 

 
WARNING: Only use the supplied battery charger to charge the internal or the external battery. 
 
The battery charger is not intended for outdoor use. 
 

3.3  Power/data cable 

The basic Void Scanner system is supplied with a 13.6 m power/data cable to connect the Void Scanner probe to 
the interface box, and from there to the power source and the PC. 
 
This 13.6 m power/data cable can also be used to connect the Void Scanner probe to the Wi-Fi box, bypassing the 
interface box, extra cables and external power source. 
 
Alternatively, a shorter, 1.5 m power/data cable is supplied with the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box. This shorter cable can 
take the place of the 13.6 m power/data cable where the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box and probe are mounted close 
together: for example, if the probe is on a remotely operated vehicle or on the end of a boom. 
 
When the battery pack is used to operate the Void Scanner, the interface box is not required. 
 

 

The 6-pin ‘L’-shaped connector attaches to the Void Scanner probe. The 4-pin connector attaches to the ‘Probe In’ 
connector on the side panel of the Void Scanner Wi-Fi box.
