3.2.3. Battery Charger
ZG
0283
Rechargeable cells installed in the Battery Box
of
the Type 1213 may be recharged in-
situ using Battery Charger
ZG
0283 (Fig. 3.3)
or
other suitable battery charger. The Bat-
tery Charger
(available as
an
optional accessory) is suitable for use with
50
to
400Hz
single-phase
AC
mains. A mains voltage range
of
either 100 to 130 V
or
200
to
240
V
may be
selected by the choice of colour-coded conductors in the mains cable. There are
three
of
these conductors, one
of
which should be cut back and insulated.
To
use the
Charger on 1
00
to 130
V,
cut back the brown conductor and connect the supply between
the
blue and black conductors.
To
use
it
on 200 to 240
V,
cut back the black conductor
and connect the
supply between the blue and brown. Connect the 7-pin
DIN
plug on the
Charger to the POWER/CHARGE socket on the Rear
Panel
of
the Type 1213. The
ZG
0283 delivers approximately 0,4 A
DC
when used to recharge
QB
0008 cells installed
in the Analyzer.
The Analyzer may be used to take measurements while the Charger is connected and
supplying current provided rechargeable cells are installed. This arrangement can use-
fully extend the period for which the Analyzer may be operated on its batteries. It must
not be used
like this with non-rechargeable cells, and
it
should not be used with no cells
installed.
QB
0008 cells take approximately 14 hours to charge at the ·maximum permitted charg-
ing-current
(0,4
A)
from complete exhaustion to full charge, and proportionately longer at
lower charging-currents. No harm will result from continuing to charge these cells after
they have become
fully charged. However,
if
the instrument is used only infrequently,
frequent unnecessary charging
of
the cells can shorten their long lifetime.
