Charging your doseBadge
Your doseBadge(s) is/are charged using the CU:120A dock.
The doseBadge instruments are intelligent and store information about the amount of
charge that has been put into and taken out of the batteries. This allows the instrument to
maintain optimum battery performance for as long as possible.
The CU:120A dock allows up to five doseBadges to be charged at the same time and also
allows measurement data to be downloaded to NoiseTools via the USB connections.
Typically, the CU:120A dock will charge a doseBadge from flat, in around three hours.
Connect the CU:196A mains power supply to the power socket on the dock and then to a
suitable supply. The green LED on the dock will indicate that power is connected.
The USB connection is used to donload measurements from the connected instruments to
NoiseTools, on your PC.
Connect a doseBadge to any of the docking points. Each docking point has a magnetic base
that ensures that the connection between the doseBadge and the dock is secure.
The blue LED next to each docking point will illuminate when the connection has been
made. The indicators on the doseBadge will show the charging status as follows:
Charging: solid orange
Fully charged: solid green
The level of the battery can also be checked in NoiseTools, on dBLink or if owned, on the
wand.
Important: you must only use the power supply that comes supplied with CU:120A dock.
