rgo S battery
You may power your transmitter with a Hetronic Ergo S rechargeable battery inserted into the bottom of the transmitter. Follow the
instructions below to ensure best performance of your ERGO-S transmitter and prolonged battery lifetime.
1. Confirm that your batteries are fully-charged.
See “Recharging Your Batteries” section below.
2. Slide the recharged battery into the battery compartment at the bottom of the transmitter as shown, and snap it into place.
Figure 12. Inserting the Battery
EXPLOSIVE GASES AND FLYING DEBRIS can cause death or serious injury. Use only Hetronic replacement rechargeable
batteries. Use of unauthorized replacement batteries could cause a battery explosion resulting in injury or death of the operator or
other people in the work area.
7.1 Recharging your Batteries
The two methods which can be used to charge the batteries using the ERGO-S charging unit are:
•
The user can choose to remove the battery from the transmitter and place it directly in the charging unit.
•
Else, the user can opt to charge the battery by placing the whole transmitter unit in the charger docking station.
Figure 13. Charging the ERGO-S Battery
NOTE: When inserting the USB power cable in the transmitter this acts as a power bank, however, does not charge the battery.
When the transmitter (or the battery) is placed in the docking station, the red LEDs flash for two seconds, and then stay lit during the
charging process. The red LEDs turn on sequentially as charging progresses. When the battery is fully charged, the green LEDs light up
and the red LEDs go off. If the transmitter is placed on the docking station whilst it is still in operation then the transmitter will automatically
send a STOP telegram and then will shut down.
Charging time could take up to 3.5 hours, depending on the condition of the battery.
Leave the battery in the charger until it is needed.
The charger supplies a “trickle” charge but it will not over-charge the battery.
If the battery is faulty, the red LEDs will blink continuously.
