17.0 Charging the Batteries
The R4520C is using NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. The capacity of the battery pack is 4.0 Amp hours.
The R4520C will operate from internal batteries for approximately 18 hours for stationary mode, and approximately
11 hours for manual and aerial modes while using the GPS.
The batteries can self drain to 80% capacity during a 6 month shelf life.
It is recommended to maintain a charge cycle when storing the receiver for long periods of time. If the charge
capacity of the batteries does not seem to be at full capacity, a couple charge cycles can bring the battery pack
back to full capacity (discharge – charge – discharge – charge)
The charger supplied with the R4520C is a “smart charger”. There is a thermal sensor to detect a full charge, and
to shutdown the charge process if the battery pack overheats.
Turn OFF the power to the R4520C when charging the batteries.
When the charger is connected to the R4520C, the charging sequence will start.
A fully depleted battery pack should be charged to full capacity within 5 hours.
18.0 EXT – External Data Output
If the EXT option has been selected the R4520C will send data once an hour out the AUX and the PC/CLONE
ports while stationary logging. If using GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) option, the data
will be sent to the GOES transmitter’s buffer thru a cable attached via the
AUX port. While the R4520C is sending
data out its serial ports one or two status screens will be displayed.
Screen 1
This screen indicates the R4520C is starting to send data out. The example above has 8 data blocks in memory to
process. Only valid data blocks will be sent. The number of blocks the R4520C sends may actually be less than 8.
For example there could be informational blocks that contain programming information for your R4520C that would
not be sent.
Screen 2 (GOES option only)
