When the batteries are fully charged charging is auto-disabled. To re-enable this
unplug the external DC input and reconnect it, or re-
enable “Charge Enable” under
Settings. This is to help avoid trickle charging the Lithium-Ion batteries.
MANUALLY DISABLE CHARGING:
To run the unit off external DC power but without charging the batteries turn off
charging via the SETTINGS menu.
RUNNING WITHOUT BATTERIES FITTED:
To run the unit without any batteries fitted then turn off charging via the SETTINGS
menu.
Without this you may get “OVER” on the display.
Please observe the minimum external DC supply voltage.
NOTES:
When running with batteries and also an external DC input the higher voltage of the
two is used to power the unit. Highest voltage wins.
Most Lithium-Ion PP3 batteries have a built in protection circuit and can shut
themselves down if over-discharged. Brands can differ so you may have to adjust the
low battery warning and auto-shutdown voltages accordingly.
On disconnecting the ext. DC socket after fully charging the batteries the battery
voltage should display approx. 16.8Vdc. This is two 8.4V PP3 Li-ion batteries in
series.
