6 ABOUT THE PERSONAL NODE CHARGING DOCK
WARNING: This equipment is compliant with Class A of CISPR 32.
In a residential environment, this equipment may cause radio interference.
The Minetec Personal Node Charging Dock (dock) is a 10-way charging dock designed specifically for
charging Minetec Personal Nodes. The dock can simultaneously charge up to ten Personal Nodes.
Each Personal Node commences a charging cycle when placed into the Personal Node Charging Dock,
shown in Figure 11 Dock - horizontal orientation below, fully-loaded with 10 Personal Nodes.
Once fully charged, a Personal Node can operate for up to 18 hours at room temperature (approx. 20°C)
and requires charging for 5 - 6 hours to return to full charge.
If a Personal Node is constantly alarming, say, in a STOP zone then the battery life may
be reduced to about 4-5 hours.
The dock has a single green large format power LED.
Charging and full charge are indicated by the integrated Charge LED on each Personal Node. When the
Charge LED is green the device is fully charged; a red LED indicates the device is still charging.
A Personal Node is automatically turned off when it is placed in the dock and automatically turns on
when removed.
The dock has a 120-240 Vac input and can sit flat or stand vertically on a desk/bench or be mounted on
a wall using the optional wall mount kit.
The cooling fan runs continuously and can be heard in a normal office environment. If the fan stops then
stop using the dock and contact Minetec.
