POWER
SUPPLY
DMX DeBug has an internal Ni-Cd rechargeable battery that provides
a life of about 25 hours between recharges (this is reduced to 15 hours
when the backlight is used continuously). The external 9 Volt DC
power supply is used to power and recharge Show-Control.
As with all Ni-Cd battery products, the best battery life is obtained by
completely discharging DMX DeBug prior to recharging. The power
switch is used to switch off DMX DeBug, battery charging will continue
if the power connector is plugged in.
DMX DeBug contains a sophisticated battery manager, which
regulates battery charging. A full charge is obtained in three hours,
after which the external power supply is used solely to power DMX
DeBug.
