Product Overview
The ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
(with QuickCharge or AutoTest) is a battery charger
and testing system designed for management of PD 4410 battery packs used in ZOLL
Medical Corporation resuscitation devices.
The ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
(with QuickCharge or AutoTest) provides four battery
charging/testing compartments. Up to four battery packs may be charged or tested in
any combination at one time.
The ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
can be configured in either the AutoTest or
QuickCharge mode. This configuration is performed by ZOLL Medical Corporation prior
to device shipment. The Base PowerCharger
4x4
is clearly labeled AutoTest or
QuickCharge on the charger label directly beneath the product name. If the device is not
labeled, the QuickCharge instructions should be followed for proper device operation.
For questions concerning the chargers configuration please consult a ZOLL technical
service representative.
AutoTest
The ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
with AutoTest automatically tests battery capacity with
each battery recharge. In addition, the ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
with AutoTest
illuminates the Batt. Ready indicator when the battery is fully charged and capable of
powering a PD 1400/D 1400 or PD 2000/D 2000 for approximately 2.0 hours in Monitor
mode*. Fully charged batteries whose capacity is insufficient to power the devices for this
period of time will cause the
FAULT light to illuminate. With AutoTest, the full charging
cycle is complete in eight (8) hours or less. The AutoTest feature virtually eliminates the
need to periodically test battery capacity since this test is performed each time a battery
is recharged.
QuickCharge
The ZOLL Base PowerCharger
4x4
with QuickCharge illuminates the Batt. Ready indicator
when the battery is fully charged. The full charging cycle is complete in four (4) hours or
less. The QuickCharge version provides
no information regarding battery capacity
because it does not test the battery capacity with each recharge. The ZOLL Base
PowerCharger
4x4
with QuickCharge relies on the user to manually initiate the battery test
cycle at recommended intervals (see Manual Battery Testing Procedure) in order to
confirm adequate battery capacity.
Note: Actual battery run time will vary from model to model depending upon the
amount of current that is drawn by each device. Refer to the Operator's Manual
of your model to determine the actual battery run time. For example, a battery
contains at least 1.5 ampere hours, while a ZOLL Defibrillator may draw
approximately .8 ampere of current. The run time of the battery is
calculated by dividing the battery capacity by the current drawn. In this example,
there is a minimum of 1.875 hours of battery run time for this device.
