About the Planar Battery System
The Planar Battery System, model BAT24SI, is designed specifically for point-of care
use. It is modular, compact, and ergonomically suited for effective utilization in the
medical environment.
The battery system supplies a reg12 VDC. It contains two sealed lead acid
batteries, a medically certified universal input power supply, universal charging
control module, an AC line filter, a cooling fan, and appropriate cabling. All
components are mounted within a sheet metal enclosure, which provides
mechanical strength as well as EMI/EMC protection and shielding.
The Planar battery system is classified as follows:
•
Protection against electric shock: Class I and Internally Powered Equipment
•
Degree of protection against electric shock: No Applied Part
•
Degree of protection against water ingress: IPX1, Drip-Proof Equipment
The charging and monitoring electronics control the charge rate of the battery as
well as the maximum discharge level. This ensures safe operation of the battery and
prevents damage from high charge rates and low discharge levels.
All battery technologies lose their energy storage potential through use. For more
information about the battery cells used in the Planar Battery System, see
consult the manufacturer specifications.
The output voltage regulator provides a reg12 VDC at a power level up to
72 watts. No external regulators are required for 12-volt applications.
Externally accessible fuses are provided on the charging controller module to
electrically isolate the battery from all electronic components during transportation.
Certification
The Planar Battery System is a
recognized UL 60601-1 component.
Planar does not certify it for use with
any other system.
