ABOUT THE POWER SUPPLY:
The TX-30 uses a sealed lead-acid 12-volt battery as its internal power
source. Unlike ni-cad batteries, this battery has no “memory” – it can
be fully recharged at any time, without damage to the battery.
When fully charged, the LED next to the power switch will illuminate
yellow with the switch at the on (“I”) position. The LED will change to
red when the battery is low and needs recharging. When this happens,
turn the amp off, connect the 15-volt charger to the charger jack and
plug it in. The LED near the charger jack illuminates red while the amp
is charging and goes out when the amp is fully charged. The battery
fully recharges within 6 hours, providing up to 8 hours of use at low lev-
els, about 4 hours of use at moderate levels, and about 2 hours of use
at continuous full power (sine wave). The battery is rated for up to 1000
charging cycles. The charger can also function as an AC power supply.
The battery inside the TX-30E must be fully charged before operating
the amplifier for the first time. Even though the amplifier leaves our
factory with a charged battery, time spent in shipping may cause the
battery to lose some of its charge.
NOTE: If the battery is drained too low, the Power LED will go out. This
indicates an exhausted battery – one which may not take a charge. If
this happens, turn the amp off, connect the 15-volt charger to the
charger jack and plug it in. If the Charger LED (see #15, page 7) doesn’t
come on, the battery might be beyond recharging. (The TX-30E uses a
“smart” charging circuit and will not allow you to charge a defective
battery.) If the battery is serviceable, the LED will illuminate once the
battery reaches 10 volts – leave the charger plugged in and let the bat-
tery fully recharge. If the LED never illuminates, the battery may need
replacing. Contact Crate’s service department:
