MIBAC BATTERY
To plug in a Jaeger plug simply turn
and push the plug onto the socket until the
locking ring clicks into place. To remove the
plug, pull on the ridged ring.
MIRAP BATTERY CHARGER
It might be useful here to give a simple
outline of the operation of the rapid charge
system : when recharging a battery with a
current in the order of C 5 Amps a clear and
reproducible increase in voltage becomes
apparent towards the end of the charge,
whatever the initial level of charge of the
battery. It is thus possible to cut off the high
charge rate and pass automatically to the low
charge rate (the voltage increases as the
charge rate increases) and also the tempera-
ture of the battery (the voltage increases as
the temperature descends).
It should be noted that the most
favorable charge rate for the ACL battery is 2
C 5 A and that a recharge can be accom-
plished with a battery temperature between -
20° C and + 40° C. The batteries are
equipped with a group of silicon diodes in low
series resistance and this system compen-
sates for variations in temperature which
might otherwise affect the charge cut-off
voltage. The graph DE page 12 represents
the law governing the variation in charge cut-
off voltage with respect to temperature. The
capacity obtained after a high speed charge
is very satisfactory (500 cycles 800 mAh) but
does not give the maximum possible capacity
which can be obtained by proceeding the
charge at a lower rate.
The MIRAP charger is provided with a
switch permitting the choice between the
rapid charge FAST (red diode) and the slow
charge SLOW (yellow diode).
At the end of the charge, it passes automati-
cally on the maintenance charge TRICKLE
(green diode).
The slow charge increases the life of
the battery.
Operation
Plug the cable into the socket (51) - fig
DF - at the rear of the charger taking care to
position it correctly for the corresponding
voltage : 117 volts or 220 volts A.C. 50 cycles
or 115 volts AC 60 cycles. Plug the other end
into the power supply using a plug corre-
sponding to the mains supply socket. This
connecting cable is provided with an earth
wire which is yellow/green in compliance with
the international standard.
Insert the battery into the charger, the
red point on top facing the red point which is
on the charger. If the battery is correctly
pushed in place, its plug (50 - fig AB -) enters
the socket of the charger and the control lamp
lights up. The charge will not take place if the
two red marks do not coincide. - fig EG -.
The consumption is 11,3 Amp at 220
volts.
When the battery is fully charged the
signal lamp will go out.
The ensemble -charger/battery- may
be left indefinitely connected to the main,
without any danger. On the other hand, never
leave a battery in the charger if the latter is not
connected to the main because the battery will
discharge.
A safety fuse 52 of 800 milli-amp.
protects the charger; it blows in case of exces-
sive voltage increase. Two spare fuses are
stored in the two rear feet of the charger
