Battery Charging
The Sara 2000 incorporates a battery state indicator
light, situated on the top of the battery compartment
(see fig. 1). This light will flash intermittently when
the battery pack needs recharging, and, although a
small number of lifts are possible when the light
flashes, it is a signal that the pack needs to be
charged as soon as possible.
To ensure the Sara 2000 is always ready for use, it is
recommended that a freshly charged battery pack is
always available. This is achieved by having a
second battery pack available, and keeping one on
charge while the other is in use.
Recharging the battery pack before it is
totally discharged will prolong its life.
When the battery state indicator light flashes,
complete your lift / lower cycle, then pull out the
battery pack from the battery compartment
carefully.
Hold the pack firmly to ensure it does not
drop and become damaged, or cause
personal injury.
Place the battery pack on charge as follows:
Ensure the mains power is switched off.
Insert the battery pack into the charger unit and push
firmly in, the charging connector will automatically
couple, then switch on the mains power. A green
light and an orange light will then be displayed (the
green light indicates that mains power is connected,
and will stay on until the mains power is
disconnected. The orange light indicates battery
state and will go out when the battery pack is fully
charged) (see fig 22).
Note:
The battery pack may be left connected
to the charger unit when it is fully charged
without being damaged by overcharging, this
will also ensure the battery is kept fully
charged.
Always disconnect the mains supply before
disconnecting the battery.
When the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect
the mains power, remove the pack from the charger,
and insert it fully into the battery compartment.
Electrical connection is made automatically.
Ensure the green reset button (situated at the top of
the battery compartment) is pressed in (see figs. 1
and 21).
The Sara 2000 is now ready for use.
