*Subject to change without notice Atomos Sumo19 – User Manual Edition 1: September 2017 9
Battery Options
The Sumo19 can be powered by V-Lock / Anton Bauer batteries via the
XLR terminal (optional mounting plates available). Like all batteries, you
will need to take care of them. Make sure that you don’t short circuit the
connections because this can result in very high currents that can damage
thecellsandcouldposearehazard.
Charge new batteries before using them, using the battery charger
supplied by the manufacturer.
Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged
completely. Tape the contacts with electrical tape and package so as
to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted waste
treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you are not sure
if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries, contact them and
verify if they are permitted or not.
DC Power
Once the Sumo19 is switched on, it will operate from your external
DC power source if available, if no DC power source is present, then the
battery will become the primary power source if it connected by the
XLR terminal. The battery will work as redundant power if DC power is
disconnected.
Continuous Power
The Sumo19 features an Atomos technology called Continuous Power
which uses battery looping technology for uninterrupted switching
between power sources during use.
The Sumo19 may be powered from NiMH & Li Ion 14.4V battery
systems via the XLR terminal for V-Lock / Anton Bauer batteries.
