cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Caution: The standard material used is latex-free.
4. START-UP AND OPERATION:
The ADC®Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base is available as a 230v or 120v model
and suitable for charging of 2.5v or 3.5v handles.
a) Preparation prior to charging
Ensure that the charging base is positioned on a•
level surface. Do not position unit in the direct
vicinity of a radiator and protect against direct
sunlight.
Fluids must not penetrate into the interior of the•
enclosure. Do not use fluids in close proximity of
the charging base.
Connect unit to an electrical outlet. Ensure that the•
voltage stated on the rating plate on the bottom of
the unit agrees with the mains voltage. After
connection of the charging base, a self-test is
performed. During the test, the LEDs on the front
of the unit will be repeatedly switched on.
When charging 19mm handles (AA size), insert•
plastic reducers inhandle recesses. When
charging 28 mm handles (C size), remove
reducers from handle recesses by lifting in an
upward direction before inserting handle.
The ADC® Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base•
may be used for charging 2.5v and 3.5v
rechargeable batteries respectively. The charging chambers are interchangeable
and may be used with 2.5v or 3.5v battery handles. A 2.5v and 3.5v unit may be
charged simultaneously.
b) Charging
The rechargeable battery is tested when inserted into the charging chamber. At•
voltages of less than 1.5v, the rechargeable battery is either fully discharged or
faulty. The charging base will try to recharge the battery by applying a pulsating
charging current. The yellow charging LED will flash.
For rechargeable battery voltages of more than 1.5v, charging will commence.•
The yellow charging LED will turn on.
®
c) Charging Time
The end of the charging time is detected by evaluation of the negative voltage•
differential caused by heating of the rechargeable battery cells when fully
charged. The yellow charging LED will switch off and the green ”rechargeable
battery full” LED will switch on.
The charging time is limited to max. 4.75 h by the internal timer.•
When the rechargeable battery is fully charged•
(green LED on), the unit will switch to
maintenance charge.
The temperature inside the charger base is•
monitored. Do not keep in sunlight, or close
proximity of a radiator, as over heating may cause
premature actuation of the automatic switch-off
mechanism shutting the charger off before
completing a full charge.
Warning!
When the handle is removed from the charging chamber for a few seconds•
whilst the rechargeable battery is fully charged (green LED on) without
switching on, initially the yellow charging LED will be switched on when
reinserting the unused rechargeable battery. However, this is not due to
malfunction of the charging base but the described ”rechargeable battery full”
sensor.
When the rechargeable battery is full, no negative voltage differential can be•
recorded. The rechargeable battery must first heat up in order to signal
”rechargeable battery fully charged”.
The time prior to the green ”rechargeable battery fully charged” LED switching•
on again may vary considerably (15 minutes or longer). Additional temperature
sensing and a timer, however, ensure that the charging process is carefully
monitored at any time.
We recommend to keep the instrument in the charging chambers after
use to ensure that instruments are always ready.
5. SPECULA COMPARTMENT
The specula compartment may be used for spare
specula and lamps.
6. WALL MOUNTING
The ADC®Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base may be
mounted on the wall. Hold wall rail to the place on the
wall intended for mounting. Mark holes with a pen and
drill holes of 5 mm (3/16”). Insert the dowels supplied.
Position rail holes on the dowels and fix to the wall with
the screws supplied. Then slide unit on bracket to allow
the wall rail to be introduced into the two guideslots of
the ADC®Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base plate.
Ensure that the bottom cover tab engages in the recess
in the wall rails.
Remove unit by pressing in the bottom tab, allowing the unit to be simply taken from
the rail.
