6.2 Charging the Battery Pack
The Battery Pack may be recharged at any time. You do not need to
wait until the low battery condition is indicated. The Battery Pack does
not need to be in the strobe for charging.
To charge the Battery Pack:
1.
Make sure the strobe is off or remove the Battery Pack from the
strobe.
2.
Plug the recharger cable into the battery recharger socket on the
Battery Pack (see
3.
Plug the recharger into an AC mains wall outlet.
Note:
When using the Universal recharger, make sure the correct
adapter plug is inserted into the recharger before plugging the
recharger into the wall outlet.
CAUTION: Use of rechargers other than the one supplied
(PSC-2U) may damage the stroboscope and void the warranty.
The battery module contains circuitry to control the charge. The amber
LED blinks steady to indicate that the battery is being charged. The
LED will turn solid amber as it nears complete charge. Once the charge
is completed, the LED turns solid green and the recharger will trickle
charge the battery. The Battery Pack may be used at this point.
Note:
The total charge time is typically about 4-5 hours. The Battery
Pack may be left on trickle charge indefinitely.
The LED also indicates that charging has stopped due to a problem.
The LED will blink 5, 6, 7, or 8 short red blinks and then one long green
blink to indicate the following: 5 = over voltage, 6 = over current, 7 =
too hot, and 8 = too cold.
