If the battery heats up on charge to 45°C (113°F) the charge will cut off and the

OVERTEMP/FAULT LED will illuminate. When the battery cools down to

approximately 90°F, the charge restores.

4.2 FAULT INIDICATION AND CUTOUT

While charging with the Activator 282, a 24 Volt battery voltage will continuously

rise to over 28 Volts. However, if a battery will not accept charge due to

corroded terminals or deficiencies such as a shorted cell, or has been cycled or

is aged or defective to an extent of not being able to attain 28 Volts, the Activator

282 will detect this condition. If the battery is less than 28 Volts and remains at a

fixed voltage for 4 consecutive hours or drops in voltage instead of increasing,

the charge will cut off and the OVERTEMP/FAULT lamp will illuminate.

5.0 NICKEL CADMIUM TOPPING

5.1 General: Refer to the NAVAIR BAD-1 Manual and/or battery manufacturer’s

manual for servicing of Nickel Cadmium batteries. This is a process requiring

discharging, charging, and discharge capacity checks and recharging.

WARNING: Servicing, testing, and maintaining Nickel Cadmium Batteries

in accordance with accepted BAD-1 Manual, other military manuals, or the

manufacturer’s procedures are the only means of assuring a Nickel

Cadmium batteries safety and effectiveness.

6.0 CALIBRATION VERIFICATION

The Activator 282 is factory calibrated. A Certificate of Calibration is supplied

with each unit by serial number. The unit requires no further calibration, only

output verification. If the display segments are damaged or illegible, the unit

must be returned to factor for repair.
