The drop-in charger DL-5A/7016 is designed for
connecting to 115 VAC or 230 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz mains.
First of all, check that the charger's operating voltage
is identical with your local mains supply. If required, set
the voltage selector switch 3 by means of a suitable
tool to the respective voltage, changing of fuses is not
required. DL-5A/7016 is factory set to 230 VAC!
Plug the mains cable into a suitable wall outlet. The red
pilot lamp 1 lights up.
For charging, insert the complete hand-held UHF
Transceiver FSG 7016 or only the removed Ni-MH
battery pack upright into the charging chamber in such
a way, that the recess on the battery case matches with
the nose in the chamber.
If the battery is discharged, the charger switches
immediately to rapid charge (yellow lamp 2 lights up).
Rapid charge - yellow pilot lamp 2 lights
The duration of charge depends on the state of the battery and is approx. 8 hours
(for 1.5 Ah battery). When the switch-off voltage is reached the charger switches
automatically to trickle charge. The capacity at the end of rapid charging is about
90% of the full rated capacity.
Trickle charge - yellow pilot lamp 2 goes off
The Ni-MH battery pack is now continuously charged on low current. The full
capacity of the battery is thus guaranteed. Overcharging the battery is not possible
due to automatic and temperature controlled charging function, even if the trickle
charge is maintained over a long period.
Batteries in chargers operating on trickle charge are fully charged.
IMPORTANT!
• With drop-in charger DL-5A/7016 (article no. F10167) 12 Vdc/1.5 Ah
battery packs of the FSG 7016 can be recharged.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or
moisture.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer repairing to
qualified personnel only.
• The chargers must not be operated on or near heaters or in direct
sunlight.
• Charging should be done within the ambient temperature range of
10°C to +40°C, otherwise the battery may not be fully charged.
• The UHF Transceiver FSG 7016 with attached battery pack may be
operated while being inserted into the drop-in charger, e.g. for
temporary fixed base use.
• If a fully charged battery is removed briefly from the charger and
then reinserted the charging cycle starts again from the beginning:
brief rapid charging (yellow LED lights) followed by trickle charge.
The Ni-MH battery incurs no damage.
• If the battery is flat it is first recharged on trickle charge until its
terminal voltage reaches a certain limit where rapid charging
switches on automatically.
