SMART BATTERY “
FUEL
”
GAUGES:
The PSC Power Star Smart Traveler is equipped with four (4) easy to read and easy to understand
multi-
colored battery “Fuel Gauge
s
”
. There are individual
“Fuel Gauges” for each of the four
Smart batteries. In normal use, all four (4) batteries will be charged and dis-charged in unison.
Because of this, normally
you will see the four (4) “Fuel Gauges” closely tracking each other. With
just a quick glance you will immediately know the charge condition of your battery. A full row
of RED, YELLOW and two GREEN LEDs indicated a fully charged battery. As the battery is
discharged, the LEDs slowly go out. It is similar to reading the fuel gauge in your car. When the
last (bottom most) RED LED goes out, the unit will shut down to protect the Smart Batteries from
deep discharge. The unit must then be plugged into AC power to re-charge the Smart batteries
and/or power up your equipment. Both functions can be done simultaneously.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PSC POWER STAR SMART TRAVELER WILL ONLY PROPERLY OPERATE
WITH FOUR (4) SMART BATTERIES INSTALLED! YOU MUST USE FOUR (4) SMART BATTERIES AT
ALL TIMES. THIS REQUIREMENT IS NEEDED TO PROVIDE PROPER POWERING TO YOUR
EQUIPMENT AND TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST RELIABILITY. THIS DEVICE WILL SENSE WHEN LESS
THAN ALL FOUR BATTEREIES ARE INSTALLED AND WILL SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY
APPROXIMATELY 35 SECONDS AFTER ANY ONE OR MORE BATTERIES ARE REMOVED!

VOLT METER:
The remote control is equipped with a LED volt meter. This meter reads the output voltage going
to the output XLR connectors and to the output SpeakOn connector. The Power Star Smart
Traveler offers fully regulated output voltage that is factory set to 15Vdc. This regulated output
voltage is internally adjustable for 9 to 24 Vdc. Because the output voltage is regulated, it will
remain steady over the entire charge range of the battery. While a fully charged Smart Battery
might read 17 volts and a nearly discharged one might read 13. 5 volts, the outputs the PSC Power
Star Smart Traveler will remain at a fixed 15Vdc output level throughout its operation.
