Simrad PI Remote/Depth

How to use the Simrad PI MaxiCharger

The Simrad PI MaxiCharger is a plain battery charger to be used
with large PI sensors.

Figure 12

Simrad PI MaxiCharger

Caution

The Simrad PI MaxiCharger must only be used to charge

the large PI sensors: PI Spread, PI Spread/Depth, PI

Remote/Depth, PI Height and PI SeineSounder. You

must NOT use this charger to recharge the “small” PI

sensors and the PS sensors, as the high charging current

may cause damage to the batteries in these sensors.

The Simrad PI MaxiCharger is provided with a small booklet
from the manufacturer (Mascot). Read this booklet before you
put the charger to work!

Daily operation

Observe the following procedure for daily operation.

1

Connect the charger to 230 Vac, and check that the charger
lamp is lit in yellow.

2

Ensure that mounting materials do not short circuit the
charging lugs.

• This may be ropes, wires, chains or other items that

obstruct or short circuit the electrical connections.

3

Attach the charging clamps to the sensor as follows:

• Red clamp: Positive (

+

) fastening lug

• Black clamp: Negative (

–

) fastening lug

• On every sensor the polarity of the fastening lugs are

engraved on the sensor body using

+

and

–

characters.
