3.1 Preparations for use
z Before using the instrument for the first time, insert the
batteries provided or a charged NiMH power pack T4
(type HBT 0000; order no. 83 18 704) / T4 HC
(type HBT 0100; order no. 83 22 244), see section 3.1.2
on page 9.
z The instrument is now ready for operation.
3.1.1 Charging the batteries
z To maintain the lifetime of the batteries, charging is
temperature controlled and only performed in a temperature
range of 5 to 35 °C. When outside this temperature range,
the charging automatically interrupted and automatically
recommenced after the temperature range has been
reached again.
z The charging time is typically 4 hours.
z A new NiMH power pack reaches its full capacity after three
complete charging/discharging cycles.
z Never store the instrument for extended periods without
being connected to a power source (maximum of
2 months) because the internal buffer battery will drain.
Charging with the multiple charging station
z A maximum of 20 instruments can be charged at the same
time on the power pack (order no. 83 18 805) of the
multiple charging station.
z When attaching the charging modules, disconnect the
power pack from the mains supply!
z Position the instrument on an even and level surface.
1. Turn the slots of the interlock into a horizontal position by
using a screwdriver or coin.
2. Insert the fastening lug (2) of the charger module
(simultaneous power feed) until it engages.
3. Close the lock (1) with a quarter turn (slot is positioned
vertically).
4. Attach additional charging modules in the same way.
5. Connect the power pack to the mains.
{ The green "Mains" LED (1) is on.
6. Insert the switched off instrument into the charger module.
{ Display LED (5) on the charging cradle:
z If a fault occurs:
{ Remove the instrument from the charging module and
insert it again.
z If the fault still occurs, have the charging module repaired.
{ It takes approx. 4 hours to fully charge an empty
rechargeable battery.
z In the event of a short circuit or if the power pack is
overloaded:
{ The red "Overload" LED (3) is on, and an audible
alarm sounds.
{ After the fault has been corrected, the alarm is switched
off automatically and the charging process is restarted.
{ In the event of a power failure, the instruments already
charged will be protected from discharging.
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
Do not charge underground or in explosion hazard areas!
The chargers are not designed in accordance with the
regulations for fire damp and explosion protection.
Charge the NiMH power pack T4 (type HBT 0000) or
T4 HC (type HBT 0100) with the associated Dräger
charger. Charge NiMH single cells for ABT 0100
battery holder in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications. Ambient temperature during the
charging process: 0 to +40 °C.
NOTICE
Even if the instrument is not used, Dräger
recommends storing the instrument in the charging
cradle (chargingmodule X-am 1/2/5000, order no.
83 18 639).
CAUTION
Always connect or disconnect the charging modules
individually and not in groups in order to prevent the
charging station from becoming damaged. During
transportation, the power pack and the charging
modules should also always be handled individually
and without inserted instruments.

CAUTION
A short circuit of the charging contacts in the charging
modules, e. g., by metallic objects that have fallen in,
does not result in damage to the charging station.
It should, however, be avoided due to possible heating
hazards and incorrect displays on the charger module.
