EQUIPMENT RATING  

3.1

  AC Input 

The LineIQ Charger is meant to operate under the following conditions: 

  Minimum input voltage for correct operation is 100 VAC. 

  Absolute maximum input voltage is 240 VAC. 

1.1.1

 

Operating frequency 

  50 or 60 Hz 

3.1.1

 

Operating current 

  0.7 Amp maximum 

3.1.2

 

Environmental 

  The LineIQ Charger is intended to operate in an office or workshop environment. 
  Operating tempe5°C to +60°C. 
  Do not allow any part of the LineIQ Charger to come into contact with liquids. 

 

3.2

  DC Output 

The  LineIQ  Charger  output  is  a  current  limited  direct  current  (DC)  output  with  output  short 
circuit protection. 

When the output current falls below 30 mA, the green output LED is switched off. This is an 
indication that the LineIQ battery is fully charged. 

For output currents between 30 mA and 400 mA, the green output LED is switched on. 

When  a  short  circuit  of  the  output  voltage  is  detected,  the  output  voltage  is  reduced  and 
pulsed  on  and  off at  approximately  1  Hz.  Output  current  remains  limited  to  400 mA.  In  this 
mode, the green output LED flashes on and off. 

3.2.1

 

Nominal output voltage 

  2.5 V 

3.2.2

 

Maximum output current 

  400 mA 

3.2.3

 

Short circuit current 

  400 mA pulsed at 1Hz
