Standard charging procedure
−
Locate the battery charger port on the right hand side of the Detector and unscrew
the port cover
−
With the Detector in the OFF state, attach the battery charger and connect the
charger power cord to a mains outlet socket – voltage selection is automatic. Make
sure the mains outlet is ‘live’
−
Switch on the Detector either by the
main power isolator
or the
I/O
key if isolator is
already on. The charge cycle will automatically commence and the display will show
the charge screen and countdown timer (Fig.2.4c below), or
−
If the Detector is already ON, then the charge cycle can be initiated manually by
selecting
MENU
from the START-UP screen and selecting
CHARGE
as shown in
figures 2.4a & 2.4b below
Fig 2.4a –Start-up screen
Fig. 2.4b –Menu screen
Fig. 2.4c –charge screen
When charging, the Detector will display a timer screen that counts backwards; the time
displayed being the maximum time allowed to charge the batteries. If the batteries are
charged before that time has expired charging will be terminated and the unit will revert to
trickle-charge and the display will switch off automatically.
If it is necessary to terminate the charging cycle before the batteries are fully charged, the
charging cycle may be ended by pressing the
³
key. The display will shut off and the unit
will enter trickle-charge.

Recovery charging procedure
If the NiMH batteries are completely exhausted (flat) the Detector display will either not
activate after the
I/O
button on the display panel is pressed or display a BATTERY LOW
warning (ensure batteries are installed and
main power isolator b
attery switch is ON). In
this instance it maybe necessary to attempt to recover the batteries by the following
method:
−
Make sure the
main power isolator i
n the battery compartment is ON position.
−
Connect the charger power cord to the mains supply outlet socket. Make sure the
socket is ‘live’.
−
Leave the charger attached for 30 minutes
.
The charger will now attempt to recover
the batteries but the screen will not display. When the batteries have been charged
sufficiently the unit will automatically turn on and continue the charge cycle as
described in the standard charging procedure.
−
If the unit fails to switch on, disconnect the charger, switch off at
main power isolator
for 5 seconds, then on again. The Detector should start and display the START-UP
screen. The standard charging procedure above can then be followed.
NOTE:
Attaching charger without batteries will start the detector in charge mode. Since
there are no batteries, they will not be charged. System will switch off in 4 hours or
can be aborted by pressing the
³
key. If this has been done, disconnect the
charger and ensure the switch is set to OFF before inserting rechargeable NiMH
batteries.
