TECHNICAL NOTES
Do not connect charger to a receptacle that shares its circuit with other
loads such as motors and most all common appliances. These shared
circuits cause severe line voltage droops that, upon appliance abruptly
turning on or off, will cause instantaneous line voltage changes that may
be beyond the ability of the charger to compensate fast enough, causing
permanent non-warranty damage to charger.
Do not charge more than one battery pack at a time. Battery pack characteristics
differ and may cause the microprocessor to misinterpret algorithmic values and
possibly function improperly.
If charging a series connected string of two or more batteries or cells,
ensure that all batteries and cells in the series connected string, are all at
the same state of charge, age, type, and condition.
The charger uses RF energy only for its internal functions. Therefore its RF
emissions are very low and are unlikely to cause any interference in nearby
electronic equipment.
The charger has an operating temperature range of -35C to +55C, and a
shipping/storage temperature range of -40C to +125C. It needs to be stored in
clean, dry conditions.
Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information
provided in this manual.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical
Equipment.
The use of Accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified by
the manufacturer, may result in increased Emissions or decreased Immunity of
the Battery Charger.
The Battery Charger should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment and that, if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Battery Charger
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will
be used.
Important: If batteries are left in storage for a lengthy period (months), Charger
should be connected to AC Power continually or periodically (once per month) to
replenish batteries self- discharged condition to prevent possible permanent
damage to battery.
Charge History Database Retention: The charger employs the use of FLASH
memory to retain more than two years of charge history. Use of the
Accusense
Charge Suite Application
opens up many possibilities and levels of technical
analysis and support.
