4.11 Battery Charger
Use only the provided Ferno battery charger (Figure 11) to
charge Ferno batteries, and charge only Ferno batteries with
the charger. A battery-adapter cable (supplied) connects
the battery charger to an iN∫X battery. The charger has two
indicator lights (red and green). See the chart below.
●
Charger Compatibility:
○
110 Volts AC, 50/60 Hz (U.S.A., Canada, Japan)
○
230 Volts AC, 50/60 Hz (Europe and other areas)
●
Charger Input:
AC ~100-240V, 50~60 Hz, 92W
There are two ways to charge the battery: Secure the iN∫X
in an iN∫LINE fastening system, or remove the battery from
the iN∫X and connect the battery directly to a Ferno battery
charger.
See “Charging the Battery” on page 54.
Features and Controls

4.12 Integrated Charging System
(ICS®)
The Ferno® Integrated Charging System (ICS®), disables
powered operation when the iN∫X is locked in the iN∫LINE
(Figure 12) and the ICS is connected and powered. The
ambulance ignition, inverter, and/or outlet switch may need
to be turned ON to supply electrical power to the ICS.
Deeply-Discharged Battery
If the battery is deeply discharged, the
ICS may not be able to charge the battery.
Connect the battery directly to a charger
separate from the ambulance and ICS.

NOTICE
Connecting a charger directly to the iN∫X can damage
cables when the iN∫X is unloaded. Cables can also create
a trip hazard. To charge the iN∫X inside an ambulance, use
only the Ferno® ICS® built into the iN∫LINE.
