7. OCU Operation
7.1 OCU Battery Pack
If using rechargeable batteries, they must be fully charged before using the remote control system for the first
time. Note that charging the battery pack can take up to three hours for a fast charger (Part # 70C-0002) and over
10 hours for a trickle charger (Part # 70C-0001).
We recommend that the battery packs be discharged completely from time to time to preserve their capacity.
7.2 Changing the Battery Pack
Referring to Figure 6, remove the battery pack as follows:
1. Lay the OCU (5) face down.
2. Release the two knurled thumbscrews (2) and withdraw the cover-plate (1).
3. Withdraw the battery pack (3) from the battery compartment (4).
Figure 6: Battery pack removal and replacement
Replace the battery pack as follows:
1. Position the battery pack (3) with the four contact strips facing down and forwards. Install the battery pack (3)
by pushing it fully inside the battery compartment (4).
2. Install the cover-plate (1) and secure it by evenly hand tightening the two knurled thumbscrews (2). Do not
over-tighten
– a snug fit is all that is necessary.
7.3 Charging the Battery Pack
Note: Do not re-
charge the battery pack until the OCU LED indicates ‘low battery’.
Note: A Cattron external battery charging adapter (Part # 70C-0003) will be required for battery charging or
conditioning.
A Cattron ‘Standard’ Battery Charger (Part # 70C-0001) enables a Ni-Cad battery pack to be charged within 10
hours.
A Cattron Battery Conditioner/Charger (Part # 70C-0002) is also available. For details, refer to Section 7.4 below.
