491198-36 Battery Fast Charger

If a fuse has blown, it must be replaced with the same type and value or an

unsafe condition may result.

After the fuse has been replaced, slide the fuse drawer back into the module.

Make sure that it snaps securely into its locked position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Electronic instruments are delicate, operate the batter charger with

care.

The 491198-36 battery charger is intended to charge the 3.6 volt NiCd batteries,

either in the lab or in the field.

After connecting the battery charger to a proper power source, the battery

charger simply plugs into the charger jack on the HI-4416. The HI-4416 must be

turned off or the battery will not charge.

CHARGING INDICATORS

There are five LEDs located on the front of the charger that provide operating

information to the user.

 The POWER ON LED (green) will remain illuminated as long as the

charger is plugged into the AC power source.

 If the charger does not detect a battery, the NO BATTERY LED

(amber) light will illuminate.

 When the charger does detect the unit’s battery, the PENDING LED

(amber) light illuminates while the charger qualifies the battery for fast

charge. If the voltage is below the safe fast charge level, the battery is

charged in the pulse trickle mode.

 When the voltage is at a safe level the charger will switch to the fast

charge mode and the CHARGING LED (amber) light illuminates.

 When charging is complete, the charger switches back to the pulse

trickle mode and the COMPLETE LED (green) light will illuminate. The

device can be left on the charger in this maintenance mode indefinitely.
