OPERATION OF THE ODP CIRCUIT.
Nickel-Cadmium batteries should not be discharged too deeply. If the voltage
of a battery pack falls below 75% of its nominal voltage (e.g. 9V for a 12V
battery) cells may be damaged by voltage reversal, thus shortening the life
of the battery.
To guard against this, all Pagbelts are provided with an Over-Discharge
Protection circuit which will cut power to the output connectors when the
2.4
Do not immerse the battery belt in water. Should this happen drain all excess
water and allow it to dry naturally in a warm place. Do not attempt to use or
charge the battery belt until it has fully dried.
2.5
Do not connect to mains supply while disassembled. Qualified electronics
engineers who wish to gain access to internal assemblies should note that
parts of the power circuit retain high voltage even after the mains supply has
been disconnected. Wait for a period of five minutes following disconnection
before disassembly.
2.6
The battery output is protected by means of a self-resetting over-current
device. If the output is overloaded, the device will trip, causing the output
to become open circuit. In this event, disconnect any equipment from the
output, and only reconnect it WHEN THE CAUSE OF OVERLOAD HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED. This could be caused by a fault with the cables, the equipment
powered by the battery belt, the connectors, or a fault internal to the battery
belt.
2.7
The leather is wax treated during manufacture to resist water absorption in
normal use. Occasional cleaning and polishing with colourless wax polish will
maintain the suppleness of the leather, water resistance and appearance.
2.8
Nickel-Cadmium cells must never be replaced indiscriminately. All cells
used by PAG Limited are carefully graded and matched because battery
performance is only as good as the worst cell, and fitting unmatched
cells will quickly result in battery failure.
2.9
PAG Ltd. maintains a comprehensive Service Department for the repair and
service of all Nickel-Cadmium batteries and charging equipment. The depart-
ment is based at the London factory and is therefore able to call upon full
manufacturing and test facilities. Should your Pagbelt require servicing we
recommend that you contact your PAG Dealer or the PAG Service Department
to maintain the quality standard for which you originally chose your Pagbelt.
