Charging the Rechargeable Batteries
Even if the device is not used, we recommend that you store the device in the charger (Char-
ging module X-am 1/2/5000, order no. 83 18 639)!
To maintain the lifetime of the batteries, charging is temperature controlled and only perfor-
med in a temperature range of 5 to 35
o
C.
When this temperature range is left, the charging is automatically interrupted and automati-
cally continued after the temperature range has been reached again.
The charging time is typically 4 hours.
A new NiMH power pack reaches its full capacity after three full charging/discharging cycles.
Charging with the multiple charging station
— A maximum of 20 devices can be charged at the same time on the power pack (order no.
83 18 805) of the multiple charging station.
●
When attaching the charging modules, disconnect the power pack from the mains supply!
Attaching charging modules
1
Turn the slots of the interlock into a horizontal position by using a screwdriver or coin.
2
Insert the projecting tongue of the charging module (at the same time, current entry) until
it engages.
1
Close the interlock with a quarter turn (slot is positioned vertically).
●
Attach additional charging modules in the same way.
— Always connect or disconnect the charging modules individually and not in groups in order
to prevent the charging station from becoming damaged. During transportation, the power
pack and the charging modules should also always be handled individually and without in-
serted devices.
WARNING
Do not charge underground or in explosion-hazard areas! Danger of explosion!
The chargers are not designed in accordance with the regulations for firedamp and explo-
sion protection.
