NOMAD CONTROLLER
The NOMAD controller is a permanently attached
controller via the marker cable to the marker head. It
is a portable unit powered by a rechargeable factory-
installed lithium battery.
* This Product is powered by a Lithium
Polymer/Li-ion Battery. Failure to follow Safety
Instructions and Warnings or other misuse could
result in risk of fire, explosion, or other safety
hazards.
*See your NOMAD system manuals for all Safety
and Operation Instructions and Information.
*Never charge the NOMAD controller unattended.
*Always have a fire extinguisher for emergency
use.
*Never charge the NOMAD controller if the NOMAD
controller’s case is physically damaged or
deformed
*Charge the NOMAD controller in an isolated area,
away from flammable materials or liquids.
* Lithium batteries have a life cycle. Replace the
battery when it reaches its service life or when it
is two years old, whichever comes first. Batteries
should only be replaced by Telesis Technicians.
* Make sure the NOMAD controller is cooled to
ambient temperature before charging.
*Use only Telesis Lithium Polymer/Li-ion
chargers provided to you by Telesis. Do not use
NiMH or NiCd chargers.
*Never store or charge the NOMAD controller in
extreme temperatures.
*Never charge the NOMAD controller while
marking at the same time.
*During discharge and handling of the NOMAD
controller, do not exceed 0° to 50 °C (32° to 122
°F)
*Store the NOMAD controller at room temperature
between 5 and 27 °C (40 and 80 °F) for best
results.
*
Never leave the charger plugged into the
NOMAD controller after it is fully charged. The
charger will illuminate green when charge is
complete.
*When transporting or temporarily storing the
Nomad controller in a vehicle, temperature range
should be greater than -6°C (20 °F) but no more
than 65°C (150°F).
* When not in use, the battery must be fully
charged once a month to maintain the battery.
* If you observe a noticeable decrease in product
run time or increase in required charge time,
the battery must be replaced. Batteries should
only be replaced by Telesis Technicians. Please
contact your Telesis representative to schedule
service
* If you observe smoke, disfiguration of the
device or battery, swelling of the device or
battery, or unusual heat while operating or
during charging, discontinue use or charging,
respectively, and report to a Telesis
Representative.
*
Storing the NOMAD controller at temperatures
greater than 76˚ C (170˚ F) for extended
periods of time (more than 2 hours) may cause
damage to battery and possible fire.
*
Wire lead shorts can cause fire.
*Operating Temperature
Charging: 0° to 45˚ C (32° to 113˚ F)
Discharge: 0° to 50˚ C (32° to 122˚ F)

Environmental Considerations
The following environmental considerations must be
taken into account when using the NOMAD controller.
Contaminants. The non-vented NOMAD is rated
NEMA
1 (IP50). When liquid contaminants are present,
the contaminants can be forced into the NOMAD
controller and cause the controller to fail. For that
reason, the controller should be protected in these
types of environments. The unit should also be
protected or not used in extreme heat or cold
situations to ensure proper function.
