USE OF THE ACCESSORIES
1° Battery charger for use
on the mains wall-socket
The battery is made up of 6 nickel-cadmium accumulator cells; they
are leakproof and soldered within a metal container which screws
directly into the camera housing's "battery" compartment. Capacity:
250 mA/hrs. This type of battery is a standard feature on all Beaulieu
cinecameras bearing serial numbers of 851.268 or over. It can be
recharged from the wall socket by means of the charger unit
supplied with every camera.
Procedure:
a) place the voltage control on 110 or 220 V according to supply.
b) place the power switch in position A ou B.
C) connect the charger plug with the camera jack socket.
d) plug the charger into the wall socket (AC mains only).
The superiority of nickel-cadmium batteries essentially lies in the
fact that they deliver a constant voltage, call for little or no mainte-
nance, and have a practically unlimited life. When fully charged,
they will power the camera for:
— about 7 to 10 films at 18 fps between +10° and +50°C (50° -
122 °F).
— about 2 films at 18 fps at — 10°C (14 °F).
