Intended use
The THERMO battery range is intended to be used to supply power to a diver’s heated clothing operating at a maximum of 12 V, with the
receivers’ (heated undersuit, vest, gloves, and torch) maximum total power of not more than 200 W (for and ACCU 24 Ah THERMO) and
140 W (ACCU 14 Ah THERMO).
The THERMO range batteries feature two connection terminals at the top part of the casing, one of which hasa built-in cable with the
so-called E/O connector. Used to connect the heating device, it is equipped with an intelligent E/O system and features a two-level po-
wer regulation (70%/100%) switch to control heating levels. The other terminal is used to charge the battery; it may be optionally used to
connect any Ammonite System® lamp head.
What is intelligent E/O?
Intelligent E/O is an electronic circuit protecting the contacts of a wet connector from damage caused by electrolysis. The process
responsible for this kind of damage takes place during the passage of current in water between the contacts of a wet connector when
it remains unconnected. Until the battery is connected to a receiver, e.g. a heated vest, there is no voltage on the E/O lead. Voltage is
automatically disconnected also upon disconnecting the receiver by unplugging the E/O cable. Thus, no current passes between the
contacts of the wet connector, making them safe from damage.
Getting ready for operation
Due to the considerable power of heated clothing, it is recommended to use a fully charged battery in order to maximise its operation
time.
LED indicator
The LED indicator is located at the top part of the battery casing.
The LED light indicates the battery performance status and provides information on the current battery level.
On power-up, the LED lights for 4 seconds in a mode corresponding to its charge level:
green, continuous: 75% – 100% of charge capacity
green, intermittent: 50% – 75% of charge capacity
red, intermittent: 25% – 50%
red, continuous: less than 25%
