Micro Charger / Model 9710

Instruction Leaflet

Safety

1.1 This leaflet contains important safety and operating instructions.

Please read these fully and note all warnings before using the
charger. Please follow all instructions and retain this leaflet for
future reference.

1.2 PAG chargers are not intended for any use other than the charging

of batteries as detailed in 'Specification'.

1.3 IMPORTANT: Use only on AC supplies 100-240V, 50/60Hz.

Supply connection to the charger should be made using only the
Power Supply Unit and plug supplied with this equipment.

1.4 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched. Unplug

this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

1.5 WARNING: Indoor use only. To reduce the risk of fire or electric

shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

1.6 Although the charger is reverse polarity protected, extreme care

should always be taken not to short circuit the battery itself.
Rechargeable batteries can deliver power at a very high rate, and
short circuiting even a partially charged battery could result in a
fire or personal injury. PAG supplies a range of connector leads for
most charging requirements, and does not accept responsibility
for any other form of charging connection.

1.7 Do not disassemble the charger. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Incorrect reassembly may result in a safety hazard.

charge or process as well as the operation of the charger’s own
functions which will be shut down to a safe condition should any
of the tests fail.

2.7 AC Mains Input:

100-240V ~ autoselected. Frequency 50-60 Hz. Maximum power
consumption 35W.

2.8 Output Protection:

Charger protected against short circuit and open circuit.

2.9 AC Mains Failure Protection:

Should mains failure occur during a charging program, or whilst
the charger is connected, it will shut down to a safe condition.

2.10 User Interface:

LED indication of an absent battery, battery charging, charging
complete and a faulty battery is provided by the charger. Battery
state of charge is indicated by the battery’s own capacity
indicator. The charger is fully automatic in operation and no user
controls are provided.

2.11 Operating Temperature Range:

0ºC to +40ºC (+32ºF to +104ºF).

2.12 Overall Dimensions / Weight:

110 x 87 x 58mm (boxed) / 200g.

2.13 Typical Battery Charging Times:

These charge times are for fully-discharged 96Wh batteries to
fully-charged. 150Wh batteries will take 50% longer.

1.8 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
the supply cord or plug, when the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
In this event you should seek advice from your PAG dealer or the
nearest PAG Authorised Service Centre by visiting paguk.com or
direct from PAG in the UK by calling [phone].

50-60Hz.

2.4 Main Charge Program:

Li-Ion voltage-charge program.

2.5 Recovery Charge:

This special program will automatically recover a PAG Li-Ion
battery where the output has been shut down.

2.6 Self Test Program:

The internal microprocessor constantly monitors the battery under

3.3 PAGlink Micro Charger Model 9710 may be powered from a 12V

vehicle battery using PAG Vehicle Battery-Power Converter, Model
No. 9775.

Operating Instructions

Servicing & Repairs

4.1 IMPORTANT: Note Section 4.13, Supply Failure. PAGlink Micro

Chargers may be disconnected from the supply at any time in
complete safety and without damage to the charger or any
batteries connected.

4.2 Fit the AC connector (plug) to the charger. Connect the V-Mount

charging shoe to the charger. Clip the V-Mount charging shoe
over the contacts of the battery. Connect the charger to a suitable
AC supply.

4.3 On power-up the charger will automatically run a self test program

and then the Recovery Charge program. Any batteries that are
connected to the charger but which do not require the Recovery
Charge program will be charged as normal.

4.4 Key to the PAGlink Micro Charger LED indcation:

RED Constant = ABSENT

ORANGE Flashing = CHARGING

GREEN Constant = DONE

RED Flashing = FAULTY

4.5 With no batteries connected, the charger’s LED indicator will be

lit RED continuously. Charging will automatically commence after
10 seconds and the LED will flash ORANGE while charging is
occurring.

4.6 Each battery’s state of charge will be indicated on its individual

capacity display.

5.1 Refer all servicing or repairs to an authorised PAG Service Centre.

The PAGlink Micro Charger contains advanced electronics that do
not require periodic maintenance. Consequently there are no user­serviceable parts inside.

5.2 Qualified electronics engineers who wish to gain access to internal

assemblies should note that parts of the power circuit retain a
high voltage even after the mains supply has been disconnected.
Wait for a period of 5 minutes following disconnection before
commencing disassembly and be aware of charged capacitors.

5.3 The PAGlink Micro Charger features a fail-safe shutdown mode.

In this case, the charger should be disconnected from the supply,
and the unit allowed to cool before reconnecting to the supply.
Should the charger re-enter the fail-safe shutdown mode, more
detailed investigation is required. Seek advice from an authorised
PAG Service Centre.

5.4 If any part of the charger has been damaged, if it has been

exposed to moisture, rain or liquid, or if it does not operate
normally, seek advice from an authorised PAG Service Centre.
Unqualified personnel should not attempt further investigation
(see paragraph 5.1). Any such interference will invalidate the
guarantee.

NOTE: When a Li-Ion battery has been charged to approximately
80%, the charge current is reduced. Li-Ion batteries must receive a
reduced charge rate during the final phase.

4.7 The charger’s LED indicator will light GREEN, when batteries are

fully-charged and have received as much charge as they can safely
accept.

4.8 Batteries may be removed, and others connected at any time,

without affecting the operation of the charger.

4.9 If a new battery is connected, the charging sequence will be

initiated automatically. The most discharged battery will be
addressed first. The order in which batteries are connected is
therefore immaterial; the charger will ensure that all batteries are
charged in due course.

4.10 If the charger detects a severely faulty battery while the charging

program is running, the LED will flash RED. This could be caused
by one of several conditions, such as a very old or damaged
battery, a short circuit battery, an excessively high or low voltage
battery, or an excessively high or low supply voltage. The charger
is reset by disconnecting it from the power supply.

4.11 The charger will not recognise the connection of a battery which

has a voltage substantially outside of its range.

4.12 If the internal protection circuit of a PAG Li-Ion battery should

turn off for any reason, the battery display will not operate, and
there will be no voltage at the battery terminals. The PAGlink
Micro Charger incorporates a Recovery Charge program which will
automatically turn the protection circuit back on again.
