BATTERY AND CHARGER USE
The tool is supplied with the batteries completely discharged; before use, fully charge the batteries using the charger supplied.
This tool is supplied with a battery charger CFC 120Y and adapter CBA96-144,
which is required for 9.6V batteries (CB9620H). With the adapter removed, the
same charger may be used with the 14.4 V Batteries common to other Thomas &
Betts battery operated tools.
For optimum battery life, please follow the rules:
•
Use the battery until the automatic residual energy display still has 1-2 red
LEDs showing: this means the battery is almost completely discharged
and no loss in the life of the battery has been produced. This is particularly
important when charging a new battery the first 2-3 times in order to
maximize the available energy level.
•
Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature prior to recharging.
•
Rest the battery charger for at least 15 minutes between charges.
BATTERY STATUS
(Refer to Fig. 4)
3.1
• After releasing the operating button, the residual
battery capacity is automatically displayed for 5
seconds on the indicator (11).
The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the residual
capacity:
6 LEDs illuminated: Fully Charged
3 LEDs illuminated: 50% capacity
1 LED illuminated: Minimum charge
To replace the battery, press the two red buttons at the
same time and slide the battery forward.

OPERATING LOCATIONS
The chargers are designed for use in dry areas. All ventilation slots must be kept unobstructed. If
possible, keep away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight as ambient temperatures in excess of 35°C may increase
charging times considerably.
•
AC SUPPLY CONNECTION
Before connecting the charger, check that the AC-supply voltage and frequency are the same
as those indicated on the charger. The charger is ready for operation when the power cord is connected to the live AC
supply.
•
PUTTING INTO SERVICE AND OPERATION
Left-hand, red LED
If the charger is connected to the AC supply and the left
hand LED goes red, the charger is OK.
If the left-hand LED is red and flashing the charger has a fault
Further charging is
not possible.
•
CHARGING PROCEDURE (
See table on the right.)
The battery charger checks the voltage, temperature,
short-circuit and polarity of the batteries before charging.
The safety elements (bi-metal strip or NTC resistor) are
checked via the temperature contact.
If the safety elements are OK, the right-hand LED goes
green and the charging procedure commences
Charging state detection is a special feature of this charging
method. If the right-hand led remains switched off, the
internal circuit of the battery either is open or there is a
condition of polarity inversion.
