Shoulder strap and belt
2.2 Operation
The Belt-Pack® batteries are equipped with a belt and a
shoulder strap. Adjust the shoulder strap to carry the bat-
tery conveniently at your hip. If you carry the battery at the
right side of your body, the shoulder strap should rest on
the left shoulder, and vice versa.
Use the belt to “lock” the battery to your body.
2.3 Open circuit voltages
The output voltages of NiCd batteries can be higher than
the nominal voltages listed under 2.1, if a battery was fully
charged:
➪
B1245 and B1270 max. 16.5V
➪
B3045 and B3070 max. 35V
Once a fixture or ballast is connected and operated, these
open circuit voltages will drop to the respective nominal
voltages after a few moments. The connected fixture or
ballast must be able to safely operate with these higher
voltages. All Sachtler products are designed to meet these
requirements.
