Transportation
The PAMS is normally shipped (and transported) in a shock resistant
transfer case. Batteries for the transmitter and receiver are contained
inside the respective units.
Recharging the PAMS Units
To charge the battery pack inside the PAMS unit, plug the 2.5mm
female connector of the AC/DC 15 V power pack into the power
receptacle on the right side of the PAMS Transmitter or Receiver.
Plug the charger line cord into an AC source (95-250 VAC, 47-63 Hz).
The green CHARGE light on the front face of the PAMS unit should
illuminate during the entire fast charge cycle. The fast charge cycle
of a discharged battery will normally take less than 1.5 hours. When
the unit is fully charged, the CHARGE light will begin flashing
indicating the trickle charge phase. The trickle charger will continue
to top-off the battery pack until the AC/DC power pack is
disconnected. Although this top-off process is normally completed in
less than 6 hours, it can be left on overnight.
The battery may self-discharge to less than 3 Volts after a period of
storage or if the unit is left on for several days. During a new charge
cycle it will first enter a pre-charge trickle state before beginning the
fast charge phase. The green CHARGE light will flash during this
phase and then stay on continually once the fast charge phase has
begun. The pre-charge trickle phase can take anywhere form a few
seconds to 60 minutes dependent on the initial charge state. If the
fast charge state has not begun after several hours, the battery pack
should be replaced.
If a charge cycle is initiated on a fully charged battery, it is possible
that it will not be able to complete a normal charging cycle,
illuminating the FAULT light. Although the FAULT light indicates
that the charge cycle was terminated, the trickle charge will continue
to top-off the battery pack and it does not indicate a failure.
The FAULT light indicates that the charge process has been
terminated. A FAULT light will be indicated with:
1. Excess supply input voltage
2. Very low battery voltage (indicate shorted cells)
3. Battery voltage low after 1/12th of charge timer
4. The charge is not normally terminated before the end of the
cycle timer
