12 Power Supply
Power Supply
The ICS 3000 has an internal 9.6 V NiMH rechargeable
battery. Nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries
have a service life of 500 to 700 charging cycles.
Under optimal conditions, the capacity of 3800 mAh
suffices for an uninterrupted system operating time in
modular mode of approximately 1.5 hours.
The power unit supplies all components and
additional modules with electricity. Automatic power
monitoring protects the device from electrical
overload.
Switching On the System
Battery level
indicator
Before switching on the system, you can check the
current battery level with the detached and powered-
down Operation Module.
With more than 130 mA battery power, the LEDs light
up independently.
• If the LEDs do not light up, press the battery level
indicator button: The LEDs that indicate the respective
battery level will light up for 4 seconds.
2 yellow, 2 green Battery level 75% – 100%
2 yellow, 1 green Battery level 50% – 75%
2 yellow Battery level 25% – 50%
1 yellow, flashing Battery level < 25%
Note: The Operation Module sends a report when the battery
level is low (see technical manual for the software).
Save all data and connect the Operation Module to the
Docking Station to recharge the battery pack. If you
fail to connect the Operation Module to the Docking
Station before the battery is completely discharged,
the Operation Module automatically saves the current
data and powers down.
