Spare batteries:
Spare batteries are readily available from Digga for ‘hot swapping’ on long days or as a backup.
Alternative chargers:
Use of an alternative charger is strictly prohibited and could result in a dangerous hardware failure. Only use a certied
Halo charger.
Can the drive be used in wet conditions?
The Halo electronics are designed to run reliably in any drilling conditions, including down an auger hole that’s lled with
water. When recharging the battery it is recommended to allow the connectors to completely dry before connecting the
charger or reconnecting the Halo to prevent any galvanic corrosion if a small amount of moisture has leaked passed the
seals. Do not manually dry the electrical terminals with an implement.
How accurate is the Halo?
When utilising the zero switch and ‘zeroing’ the Halo against an accurate level, the repeatability of the Halo is ± 0.25°.
Battery placement (for customers with the Halo magnetic battery)
The battery features strong magnets within the case that will help to attach the battery to the hitch or boom where it is out
of the way. Through vibration and regular use, the battery may move about so it’s recommended to place it somewhere
where it can butt up against an edge to reduce the amount of movement. Alternatively the operator can also cable tie the
battery in place however this will make recharging less convenient.
It’s best to place the battery somewhere on the machine so that the power cable cannot be crushed through normal use.
The battery and Halo system is protected from short circuit however the power cables are not repairable and will need to
be replaced in the event of damage. The cables are rugged by design however it’s not a good idea to let the battery hang
from the power cable at any point. If the battery is dislodged from the boom or hitch during use, stop immediately and
change the location of the battery or cable tie the battery in place to avoid this happening repeatedly.
