Carvin B400 User Manual

The B400 Battery Kit is for replacing a worn battery in a S400/S400D StageMate™ or use as a second battery to extend battery time. The B400 Battery Kit comes with the following: 1 B400 12V Battery, a set of color coded battery connection wires and an L-bracket and screw. If any of the following items are missing from your Kit please contact our Customer Service Dept. Mon. - Fri. at 800-854-2235.

ADD A SECOND BATTERY TO DOUBLE YOUR BATTERY TIME

To double your battery time, you may order the optional B400 battery. This is recommended for high levels and longer operation time when adding the 810 extension speaker.

1. To add the second battery, remove the 4 screws from the StageMates™ rear chassis and carefully remove the chassis from the cabinet. FIG 1

2. Observe the empty slot on the right bottom side of the cabinet and place the battery into position and install the L bracket that comes with the B400 kit to hold the battery in place.

3. The original battery on the left has spare terminals for connecting the second battery. Simply connect the supplied B400 battery wires to the negative and positive terminals on the original battery. Always match negative (-) to negative and positive (+) to positive. Black is used for negative (-) and red for positive (+). Never allow a negative wire or terminal to touch a positive wire or terminal or “sparks will fly” with possible damage to the battery. If in doubt, please call our service department Mon. - Fri. at 800-854-2235.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

After a few years of use, if you notice your operation time has been greatly reduced, you will need to replace the battery as the cells may have weakened with age. The B400 battery kit is shipped with connecting wires for use as a second battery. If you are replacing your old battery, discard these wires as you will not need them.

A) To replace your battery, remove the 4 screws from the SoundMates™ rear chassis and carefully remove the chassis from the cabinet. FIG 1

B) Locate the battery mounted on the left side of the cabinet FIG 2 and remove the L bracket. Simply pull the wires from the positive and negative battery terminals on the old battery and reconnect your new battery (B400). Be sure to match negative (-) to nega tive and positive (+) to positive. Black is used for negative (-) and red for positive (+). Be sure not to short the battery terminals with a screwdriver or “sparks will fly” with possible damage to the battery.
