6 Plug in the SmartScanNG² detector and the battery charger.
WARNING
Plugging the power cord at the bottom of the SmartScanNG² detector into
an outlet of more than 128 volts will severely damage your system.
WARNING
In operation, batteries generate and release flammable hydrogen gas,
which, if ignited by a burning cigarette, naked flame, or spark, may cause a battery
explosion with a dispersion of casing fragments and corrosive liquid electrolyte. So,
carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Keep all
sources of gas ignition away from the batteries and do not allow metallic articles to
contact the negative and positive terminals of a battery at the same time.
WARNING
A damaged or aged battery, in combination with the connected battery charger, can
pose a serious health threat. The battery can produce hydrogen sulfide gas, which is
characterized by its unique "rotten egg" smell. So, when a strong sulfurous odor is
detected, remove power to the battery charger and check the battery for
excessive heating. Do not inhale the fumes.
One end of the battery temperature probe cable has a three-pin plug, which plugs into
a receptacle on the front of the battery charger. The other end, which has a
temperature sensor sealed in it, should be attached to the negative battery post. If the
battery temperature probe is defective or not installed, the red defective LED is lit.
7 On the front of the battery charger, if the red defective-temperature-probe LED is lit, fix
the underlying problem before proceeding.
8 Switch the multimeter to the DC volts scale.
The equipment side of the fuse block is directly wired to the SmartScanNG² detector.
The battery side of the fuse block is wired to the battery via the distribution block.
9 Touch the leads from the multimeter to the terminal on the equipment side of the fuse
block.
