1.3 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This section contains general information on
the battery management system. Included
is information on how the power supply
processor monitors and maintains the
battery, controls the system on/off for the
rest of the instrument and provides support
functions for the main processor.
The battery management system consists of
the power supply processor
IC and various
sensors and signal processing circuits.
The power supply processor performs the
following functions:
• Controls battery charger.
• Provides a battery status "battery gauge".
• Monitors battery voltage and temperature.
• Controls instrument power source (on/off
function).
The power supply processor communicates
with the main processor via a serial data
channel. The main processor issues
commands to the battery manager which
then responds with status information and
data using this channel.
1.3.1 Battery and Charging Process
The battery pack is a
10-cell (1.2V per cell),
high capacity nickel metal hydride (
type, rated at
a minimum of
12 volts and 4 amp-hours (with
500 charge cycles). It has a
built-in temperature sensor which allows
the battery manager to monitor battery
temperature.

1.3.1 Battery and Charging Process
(Continued)
• Self-resetting thermal fuse at 70° C.
• Self-resetting current limit sense at
5A.
The battery charge circuit charges the
battery with a constant current of
2A
whenever the power supply processor turns
the charger on. The power supply processor
regulates average charge current by turning
the charger on and off with the appropriate
duty ratio. The battery charge cycle consists
of
4 modes: fast charge, float charge,
terminates charge, and top-up charge.
• Fast Charge: Fast charge is initiated
whenever the battery is between
and
27° C, and has been discharged by
more than
200 amp-seconds through
10° C
actual use or self discharge. Leaving
the instrument unplugged for a day
would cause about
200 amp-seconds of
self discharge. The charge current is a
continuous
2A. The end of a fast charge
is detected when the temperature of the
battery is at least
a rate of
0.7° C/min. (or 1.4A depending
on system load at
30° C and increases at
0.6° C/min.) above its
temperature at start of charge, or when
the battery voltage declines by
50 mV
below its peak value, or total charge time
exceeds
2.6 hours.
• Float Charge: The float charge phase
begins at the end of the top-up phase and
helps maintain a fully charged battery.
This phase charges at an average rate of
225 mA and 1 second per minute.
• Terminates Charge: The power supply
processor does not allow charging to
begin unless the temperature is
The power supply processor terminates
charge if battery temperature drops below
10° C or rises above 55° C.
1.3.2 System On/Off
The power supply processor provides the
interface between system on/off switch and
the main processor. When the instrument
is off, the power supply processor interprets
either power switch as a turn on command
and applies power to the rest of the
instrument, informing the main processor
the switch was pressed. Once power is on,
further presses of a power switch are passed
on to the main processor which determines
the appropriate response under the existing
conditions. If the response is to turn the
power off, the main processor requests that
the power supply processor remove power
from the rest of the instrument.
If an error has been detected which causes
the watchdog to be in alarm, a push of either
power switch will immediately cause the
power to be turned off, without intervention
by the power supply processor.
10 -40°C.
• Top-Up Charge: The top-up charge
phase begins at the end of the fast
charge phase and finishes adding the last
few percent of charge to the battery and
balances individual cell charges. This
phase charges at an average rate of
0.4A.

1.3.4 Battery Maintenance
CAUTION
Use only batteries approved by CareFusion,
due to battery manager requirements and
the thermostat contained in the battery
assembly. If the instrument has been in
storage, connect it to
AC power before
turning it on. One refresh cycle is usually
sufficient to restore battery capacity. If
necessary, repeat the procedure at
intervals,
2 or 3 times, to increase capacity.
24-hour
Several features are included in the battery
manager to help properly maintain the
battery.
• A battery capacity measurement is
available in diagnostic mode.
• A special circuit removes all load from
battery when voltage falls too low,
preventing damage from over-discharge
due to long-term storage.
NiMH batteries can be stored no more than
6 months (3 months in instrument) with no
load but will self-discharge from a charged
state in about
100 days. This does not
damage the battery as it would if it were
a lead-acid type battery. Connect the
instrument to
AC to recharge batteries.
Disposal
There are no federal, state or local laws
managing the disposal of
NiMH batteries are recyclable. To learn
about recycling batteries at
NiMH batteries.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4 BATTERY CAPACITY INFORMATION
All batteries have specific conditions
under which they are guaranteed to meet
their published specifications. Deviations
from these conditions typically result
in a reduction of available capacity.
Manufacturers of
NiMH batteries rate
capacities, usually expressed in Ah
(Ampere-hours), based on a specified "ideal"
charge and discharge condition as well as
the use of a new battery.
An ideal charge cycle starts with a fully
discharged battery charged at
C/10 (C is
rated capacity in Ah) constant current for
15 hours while at room temperature. For
example, a
for
15 hours at 180 mA constant current with
a room temperature of
1.8 Ah battery would be charged
23° C.
The ideal discharge starts with a fully
charged battery under a
C/5 constant current
load at room temperature, discharging to
a cell voltage of
0.9V . The rated capacity
is then calculated as the time to discharge
divided by
discharged at
not reach
5. A 1.8 Ah cell would be
360 mA constant current and
0.9V for at least 5 hours. A given
battery type has different capacities based
on the load. For example, a battery rated
at
1.8 Ah at a 360 mA load may have only
1.6 Ah at a 1600 mA load.
There are many conditions which can
affect the battery capacity. The following
conditions have the most practical impact on
battery capacity delivered in this instrument.
• Battery Alarm Voltage: The battery
alarm voltage is the voltage at which the
instrument stops operating and generates
an alarm indicating the instrument needs
to be connected to
perfect conditions, a battery of
AC power. Under
10 cells
connected in series reaches the end
of discharge at
9.0V; however, cells
are not perfectly matched so some will
reach
0.9V before others. The problem
occurs when a cell in series with other
cells can go below
0.9V and actually go
into cell reversal, which permanently
damages the particular cell. On the
other hand, increasing the alarm voltage
to compensate for imperfectly matched
cells results in reduced run times with
available capacity. The user sees this
as premature low battery warnings and
alarms. The instrument deals with this by
increasing the alarm voltage to guarantee
the battery is not damaged and reduce
the assumed capacity to below that
printed on the battery. The battery gauge
is intended to show the minimum run time
left on the battery taking all these factors
into account.
• Charge Rate: The ideal charge rate
requires
15 hours to get to full charge,
which is undesirable from the user’s
perspective. The instrument provides a
multiphase charge cycle which results in
about
80% capacity in the first 2 hours
after fast charge. The next charge
phase, top-up, is designed to finish the
charge and to bring all individual cells
to the fully charged state, essentially
rematching them. See the "Battery and
Charging Process" section in this chapter
for "Fast Charge" and "Top-Up Charge"
information. If the top-up charge is not
completed, the cell mismatch is not
reduced and the cumulative capacity
reduction occurs. Top-up is a
3-hour
charge but the elapsed time to complete
it may be over
5 hours, as the charger is
turned on and off to keep the battery cool
during that time.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4 BATTERY CAPACITY INFORMATION
(Continued)
• Cycle Life and Aging: Batteries
wear out as they get older and go
through many charge/discharge cycles;
the chemicals and materials used to
construct the cell break down. The
instrument deals with this by assuming
that a battery will continually reduce
capacity at a rate equivalent to
4 years and continually reduce capacity
at a rate equivalent to
30% per 200 full
30% over
charge cycles. These calculated values
are used to reduce the run time displayed
on the battery gauge.
• Partial Discharge/Recharge: When
a battery is partially discharged and
then charged for less than the full time,
differences between individual cell
capacities result in cells completing
charge at different times. If the full
charge sequence is not completed, the
cell mismatch becomes progressively
greater. This is viewed by the user as low
apparent run times and premature low
battery warning and alarms. The problem
is cumulative in that the mismatch
increases for every partial cycle. The
lowered capacity is not permanent but
may require
2-3 full discharge/charge
cycles to recover. The instrument
deals with this by reducing the run time
displayed based on a limited history of
partial cycles.
• Temperature During Charge: As the
effective ambient temperature of the
battery increases, the amount of charge
that the battery will accept decreases.
At an ambient temperature of
35° C, an
enclosed battery will temporarily accept
only about
otherwise accept at
90% of the charge it would
23° C.
1.5 POLE CLAMP FEATURE
The PC Unit’s pole clamp adapts to a wide
variety of surfaces, to provide versatility.
The pole clamp features include:
• Ergonomically designed knob.
• Accommodates diameters from
3
1
/8 inches (15.9 to 34.9 mm).
• Vertical or horizontal orientation, allowing
it to adapt to both
IV poles and bed rails.
If pole-mounted, the system should be
mounted in an upright position during
operation, to provide maximum stability and
display readability.
