*. only available for RANGER Neo 3 and RANGER Neo 4.
is powered by a 7.2 V built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery of
October 2021 3 Chapter 2: SETTING UP
This equipment can operate on battery or connected to the mains using a DC
adapter. An adapter is also supplied to use with the power connector car
(cigarette lighter).
2.2.1 First Charge
The equipment comes with the battery half charged. Depending on the time
elapsed from first charge and environmental conditions may have lost some of
the charge. You should check the battery level. It is advisable a first full charge.
2.2.2 Charging the Battery
Connect the DC power adapter to the equipment through the power connector
on the side panel (see figure).
Figure 2.
Then connect the DC power adapter to the mains via the mains cord. Ensure that
your mains voltage is compatible with the adapter voltage.
For a fast charging is necessary to switch off the equipment.
If the equipment is ON, the battery charge will be slower, depending on the type
of work you are doing. When connecting the equipment to the mains the mains
connected symbol appears inside the battery icon.
The CHARGER led indicator shows the battery status:
Yellow: Battery charging.
Green: Battery full charge.
Blinking: Battery not detected.
Off: Battery is not charging.
Chapter 2: SETTING UP 4 October 2021
When switching on the equipment, the battery voltage is checked. If the tension
is too weak to start, the LED EXT and DRAIN flashes and the equipment does
not start up. In this case please charge the battery immediately.
2.2.3 Charge / Discharge Times
Average charging time with the equipment off (fast charge):
3 hours to achieve an 80% charge.
5 hours to achieve a 100% charge.
With the equipment on (slow charge):
5 hours to achieve an 80% charge.
8 hours to achieve a 100% charge.
Average discharge time (with external supply disabled)
With the battery full charge the average battery time is 5:30 hours.
With the battery at 80% charge the average battery time is 4 h.
2.2.4 Energy Saving
These options are available in the Preferences menu, pressing the key for
1 s.
Power Off: It allows the user to select the time to power off, which is the
time after which the equipment shuts down automatically unless pressing
any key.
TFT Screen: User can select a time after which the TFT screen turns off,
but the equipment is still running normally. The equipment can measure
(for example, making a datalogger or channel exploration) and the battery
will last longer, about 10% more. The screen turns on by pressing any
key. Time options are: off, 1, 5, 10 or 30 minutes.
*
:
2.2.5 Smart Control Battery
The built-in battery of the equipment is of the "smart" type, which means that
reports its state of charge. This information is displayed inside the battery icon
*. For the RANGER Neo 4 the average discharge time is 3 hours under this circumstances: DVB-T2,
4k, brightness TFT 80%, TV mode decoding
October 2021 5 Chapter 2: SETTING UP
in the form of the average time available. In this way the user can know at any
time the remaining battery level.
The remaining time charge that appears is calculated according to the work that
has been doing. If you activate the external supply of the equipment, the
average time would be reduced according to the increase in consumption that
occurs.
2.2.6 Usage Tips
The battery is losing storage capacity as you go through its life. Contact your
PROMAX distributor when necessary to replace the battery.
To extend battery life the user should follow these tips:
In case of providing a long inactivity period of the equipment it is
advisable to make every 3 months a charge / discharge cycle and a
subsequent partial charge (40% aprox.).
It is advisable to keep it in a cool place and away from heat.
You should avoid keeping the battery for a long period of time at full load
or fully discharged.
There is not necessary to wait to fully discharge before a charge because
these batteries have no memory effect.
