PAG NPH

Ni-Mh NP1 Battery

Model No. 9323

Instruction Manual

1 2

1.1 Description: Model 9323 PAG NPH Ni-Mh Professional Broadcast
NP1 type Battery.

1.2 Construction: PAG NPH batteries have welded cell interconnections
of low-resistance nickel strap. The case for these models consists of
high-impact injection mouldings designed to protect the cells from
impact damage. The batteries are sealed and non user-serviceable.

1.3 Cells: Premium grade Nickel-Metal Hydride sealed rechargeable
cylindrical cells.

1.4 Voltage: 13.2V nominal (11 cells connected in series, nominal
voltage 1.2V per cell).

1.5 Capacity: 2.2Ah, measured at the one-hour rate.

1.6 Output Current: Rated maximum output 10A continuous.

1.7 State of Charge Indication: An LED-array charge indicator is

incorporated.

1.8 Output Protection: The PAG NPH battery is protected against
short circuit and excessive currents by means of a self-resetting
protection device. The battery is also protected against over­temperature by means of a non-resetting thermal fuse rated 98°C.

1.9 Operating Temperature Range: Optimum discharge efficiency is
achieved within the temperature range +10°C to +40°C.

1.10 Weight: 730gm (1.6lb approx.)

1.11 Size: 182mm (H) x 71mm (W) x 25mm (D).

CARE & MAINTENANCE

SECTION 2

2.1 Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature between -30°C and
+50°C. Long-term storage at temperatures above +35°C will reduce
the battery's life because of deterioration of organic materials such
as the gasket and separator. Excessively low storage temperatures
(below -30°C) are also to be avoided since the electro-lyte may
freeze, resulting in permanent cell damag e.

2.2 If the battery has not been in operation for a while, it may require
several cycles of charge and discharge in order to restore its
maximum available capacity.

After prolonged storage, users with AR Series chargers may find the
following procedure beneficial: Charge the battery until the charger
indicates that it is charged. Disconnect the battery from the
charger, and then re-apply it, using the 'Recovery' program. Allow
this program to run until the charger again indicates that the
battery is charged.

2.3 Ensure that the battery is fully charged before use. Even after one
week in storage, it is advisable to give the battery a top-up
charge before use.

2.4 Use only a PAG charger that has been designed to charge PAG
NMH batteries.

2.5 For maximum output, use within the temperature range 0°C to
+40°C. Never operate outside of the temperature range -20°C to
+45°C.

2.6 The battery is designed for a maximum continuous output of 10
amperes. Battery output is protect-ed by means of a self-resetting
over-current protection device and a thermal fuse.

2.7 The battery is sealed, and contains no user-serviceable components.
If any attempt is made to open the case, it is probable that the
damage will disrupt the digital circuitry, which will then cease to
function. In order to maintain the quality standard for which you
first chose this product, return it to a PAG Dealer or the PAG Service
Department for servicing.

3.1 The battery should be in a fully charged state before use.

3.2 IMPORTANT: THIS BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED ONLY FROM A PAG ACS
CHARGER THAT IS DESIGNED TO CHARGE PAG NMH BATTERIES.
Other types of charger must never be used as the battery may be
damaged irreparably; there is also the danger that the cells may
disrupt forcibly, presenting the risk of personal injury.

3.3 When the battery has been discharged at a high current it will
become warm, and it is advisable to let it cool before charging it.
For the best results the battery should be charged within the
temperature range +10°C to +40°C. If the battery is too hot to be
charged safely, charging will be inhibited and the charger will
indicate '°C'. The battery should be left connected to the charger,
which will automatically initiate charging as soon as the temper­ature is within the correct range. NOTE: In order to prevent abuse of
batteries which are too hot to charge, a circuit is incorporated
which prevents the battery from being charged while still allowing a
PAG ACS charger to recognise that it is connected. If such a battery
is removed from the charger and re-applied while it is still too hot,
the charger may fail to recognise it, and indicate 'Faulty'.

3.4 An LED-array type state of charge indicator is incorporated. It is
activated by pressing the button that is located next to the LEDs.

4.1 When used correctly, Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are a rugged,
safe, clean and trouble-free method of storing power. Offering an
extremely high energy density, the cells do not deteriorate when left
in a discharged state, thereby making them ideally suited to
applications where reliable portable power is required. However, the
user should be aware that incorrect treatment can present a hazard.
In the interest of safety, and the protection of our environment,
please read and observe the following health and safety
information.

4.2 GENERAL: Do not put in fire or mutilate - cells may burst or release
toxic material. Do not short-circuit as this may cause burns.
Batteries should be discharged for transit.

4.3 CORROSIVE ELECTROLYTE: The electrolyte is a strong alkaline
solution, which can cause chemical burns to human tissue if leakage
occurs. Wear protective gloves when handling all contaminated
materials. In the event of contact with the skin, flood copiously
with clean water. Seek immediate medical attention if significant
amounts of electrolyte are in involved, or if any has touched the
eyes.

4.4 ACCIDENTAL SHORT -CIRCUITING: Nickel-Metal Hydri d e cells can
deliver power at very high rates. PAG NPH batteries are protected at
their output connections by self-resetting overload protection
devices and thermal fuses, but severe mechanical abuse of a battery
could result in damage to cells, and short-circuit internal to the
battery. Arcing, excessive heat and the liberation of combustible
gas could result, with the potential for personal injury or ignition
of adjacent flammable materi als .

4.5 DISPOSAL: Expired Nickel-Metal H ydride batteries are classified
as controlled waste, and must be disposed of in accordance with the
appropriate regulations or legislation.

WARNING: Do not m utilate or incinerate batteries. Do not dispose of
batteries or cells in a charged condition (see 4.4 above).

PAG Ltd. offers a recycling service for expired PAG batteries, which
results in the materials being recovered for re-use.
