5.13 Air transport / transport of the
SEABOB and accumulator box ACS
When transporting Li-Ion accumulators, always
observe the applicable safety regulations and the
specific regulations of the carrier. Be aware that safety
regulations can change from time to time. For up-to-date
information, please contact the manufacturer or your
specialist dealer.
Never transport a fully charged accumulator box
by aircraft or over long distances. The accumula-
tor box should only be partially charged during transport
(charge state "air transport / storage"). Only switch off
the SEABOB for transport when the aircraft symbol is dis-
played. If instructions are disregarded, flaming gases can
be discharged through the safety valve causing serious
injury.
For safety reasons, you should always charge the Li-Ion
accumulator cells to the partial charge state "air trans-
port / storage" before transporting the accumulator box
over long distances, particularly by aircraft. Switch off
the SEABOB completely (Off mode) (see Chapter 5.14
"Switching off the SEABOB for storage or transport").
Be sure to read the information contained in Chapter 5.2
"Charging the accumulator box".
To prepare the device for transport, in particular
transport by aircraft, proceed as follows:
1. Place the SEABOB and accumulator box on a dry and
sturdy surface that will not damage the components.
2. Ensure that the charging plug, charging socket and
mains plug are perfectly clean and dry. If necessary,
dry them off using a soft, clean cloth.
3. Plug the charging plug of the charger into the charg-
ing socket of the accumulator box. Then plug the
mains plug of the charger into the mains socket.
4. The charge display will appear on the SEABOB af-
ter 15 seconds (system check). The device is now in
Charge mode.
5. Tap the green button to select partial charging of the
accumulator box for air transport / transport. A par-
tially filled charge symbol will appear on the upper
left-hand side of the display with an arrow to indicate
partial charging.
6. When the aircraft symbol appears on the display and
the remaining charging time is displayed as "0:00",
charging is complete and the correct charge state for
air transport / transport has been reached.
7. Disconnect the charger from the accumulator box
(first pull the mains plug from the mains socket, then
disconnect the charging plug from the charging sock-
et of the accumulator box).
Caution! The charger and charging plug can get
hot while charging. After you have finished charg-
ing, let the charger and charging plug cool down before
you touch them.
Accumulator charge state is too high:
The charging process is controlled automatically by the
charger and accumulator management system. If the
accumulator voltage is too low, the charger automati-
cally recharges until the correct partial charge state has
been reached and then stops the charging process. You
will recognise this process in the display by the first bars
beginning to appear in the accumulator symbol until the
aircraft symbol appears.
If the accumulator voltage is too high for extended trans-
port / air transport (accumulator symbol and charge sym-
bol in the display are flashing), you will have to reduce
the excessive charge state for partial charging by running
the accumulator box to empty in a controlled fashion.
Operate the SEABOB (while in the water) until only 1 bar
is left showing in the accumulator symbol in the display.
Switch off the motor so that there is no load, and check
the display again. After the motor is switched off, the ac-
cumulator voltage is regenerated slightly, so you should
wait a few minutes before checking the display. If only
1 bar is still displayed, charge the accumulator box as
specified to the charge state "air transport / storage".
When the aircraft symbol appears and the remaining
charging time is displayed as "0:00", the correct voltage
for air transport / transport has been reached.
