BATTERY CHARGER User's Manual
• Connect and disconnect properly.
Do not disconnect the CHARGE CONTROL cable and/or the DC
OUT cable of the BATTERY PA CK while the BATTERY PACK
is charged.
Doing so may cause the product to malfunction corrupted.
• Do not use in wet/damp or explosive atmospheres.
• For indoor use only.
The BATTERY CHARGER is intended for indoor use and should
Be operated in a clean, dry, environment.
• Do not operate with suspected failures.
Do not use BATTERY CHARGER if any part is damaged. All
maintenance should be referred to qualified service personnel.
• Before mounting this product, always check the connecting
procedures stated in this instruction manual.
• For safety reasons, make sure to turn off the power switch of
the product before carrying out wiring of the connectors and
cables. Also make sure to turn off the power button before
connecting to the input power source.
Turning on/off the power switch controls the on/off state of the
output.
• Always use the supplied CHARGE CONTROL cable.
If a cable other than the supplied CHARGE CONTROL cable,
this may cause an electric shock, a fire, or a malfunction.
• Stop use if the BATTERY PACK is not charged fully within
the normal charging times.
If the time required to charge the BATTERY PACK is
significantly longer than the “normal” charging times shown in
the specification section of the BATTERY PACK User ’s Manual,
this could indicate a problem with the BATTERY PACK or that
the BATTERY PACK has exceeded the nominal battery life. If
this occurs, please contact LeCroy sales or service office.
• Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the DC
OUT cable of the optional BATTERY PACK of the
oscilloscope to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of
this product.
The connector shape is so designed that the terminals cannot be
4
Page 9
connected with a combination other than that shown above.
However, if the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are
connected incorrectly, this may cause an electric shock, a fire, or a
malfunction.
• Do not connect a cable or cord, such as AC cable other than
that intended for operation stated in this instruction manual
to the BATTERY or CHARGE CONTROL connector of this
product.
Doing so may cause an electric shock, a fire, or a malfunction.
• Always use the proper 3-pin power cord suitable for the power
voltage, which is supplied with this product.
• If this product is not used, turn OFF the POWER switch of
this product, hold the plug firmly, and disconnect the power
cord from the outlet.
Failure to do so may cause a malfunction, an electric shock, or a
fire.
• Always operate this product within a specified AC power
voltage range.
If the input current is excessive, the internal fuse is blown up to
shutdown the power. At this time, to recover the BATTERY
CHARGER, it is absolutely necessary to replace the internal fuse
and make the adjustment. Ask LeCroy Corporation to repair the
defective BATTERY CHARGER.
• Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
CLEANING
The outside of the BATTERY CHARGER hardware should be
cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with either deionized / distilled
water or isopropyl alcohol. Allow the surface to dry completely
before returning the instrument to service.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
The BATTERY CHARGER is a high quality, precision instrument.
To maintain accuracy, mechanical shock should be avoided, as well
as damage to the cables through excessive bending. All maintenance
and component replacement should be referred to qualified
personnel.

Overview
This product is an optional unit that is specially designed for the
oscilloscope and is intended to charge the optional BATTERY
PACK.
This instruction manual describes how to connect this product to the
BATTERY PACK and how to charge the BATTERY PACK.
Before using this product immediately after you have purchased it,
thoroughly read this instruction manual to fully understand its
contents.
Configuration
When charging the BATTERY PACK, the BATTERY PACK is
connected to the BATTERY CHARGER (WS-BATT-CHRG) with
the CHARGE CONTROL cable (supplied with the BATTERY
CHARGER) and DC OUT cable as shown in Figure 1 below to
charge the BATTERY PACK.
The charge output is output from the BATTERY CHARGER to the
DC OUT (indicated on the label) connector of the BATTERY PACK
through the DC OUT cable during charging. Additionally, the
control signal is input from the BATTERY CHARGER to the
CHARGE CONTROL (indicated on the label) connector of the
BATTERY CHARGER.

Operating Procedures
Operate this product using the following procedures.
(a) Checking the Remaining Battery Charge Level of
the BATTERY PACK
1. An indication switch used to check the remaining battery charge
level is provided at the upper portion of the name label of the
BATTERY PACK.
(See Figure 3-1.)
Press this switch.
2. Five charge LEDs are arranged on the right of the indication
switch. The remaining battery charge level is shown by lit or
flashing LED lamps.
NOTE 1 For details about description of charge LED lamp
indications, see the section, “(C) Charge LED Lamp
Indications”, on page 14 of the instruction manual for

(d) Turning ON the POWER Switch on the BATTERY
CHARGER to Start Charging
When pressing the [I] portion, the POWER switch on the BATTERY
CHARGER is turned ON. On the contrary, when pressing the [O]
portion, it is then turned OFF. (See Figure 3-7.)
Figure 3-7 POWER Switch on BATTERY CHARGER
The BATTERY CHARGER now begins to charge the BATTERY
PACK.
The POWER lamp on the front panel is lit in green and the
CHARGE lamp is lit in yellow during charging.
The remaining battery charge level is indicated by the charge LED
lamps (five LED lamps are lit in red) on the BATT ERY PACK.
14
Page 19
(For details, see the section, "Charge LED Lamp Indications", on
page 15 of the instruction manual for BATTERY PACK.)
If the remaining battery charge level becomes 80% or more, five
charge LED lamps are lit in red. Charge the BATTERY PACK
until all five LED lamps are lit in red.
When the charging is completed, the CHARGE lamp goes off and
five charge LED lamps (red) also go off.
NOTE 6 It is not necessary to set the charging conditions and
charging time.
The reference charging time until the BATTERY PACK is fully
charged is approximately 3 hrs.
It takes a relatively short time to charge the BATTERY PACK to a
remaining battery charge level of 80%.
(e) Completing the Charging of the BATTERY PACK
When the CHARGE lamp on the BATTERY CHARGER goes off
and the charging is completed, turn OFF the POWER switch on the
BATTERY CHARGER.
(f) Disconnecting the DC OUT Cable and CHARGE
CONTROL Cable
For details about how to connect the BATTERY PACK to the
oscilloscope, how to operate the oscilloscope by the DC power, and
how to read the remaining battery charge level indications, see the
instruction manual for BATTERY PACK.
