2.2. Unpacking and activating the C-Scan 2010 Detector Unit (DU)
2.2.1. Unpacking
For shipping safety the Detector Unit is shipped with its batteries packed separately.
Unpack the entire system from its yellow transportation case and make sure all the items,
including those stored in the lid of the Signal Generator, are present in accordance with the
packing list.
NOTES:
1. A spare copy of the packing list can be found in the plastic zip envelope containing the manuals
and other documents. Report any obvious damage or any missing items, immediately.
2. To open the lid of the Signal Generator (SG) it may be necessary to push the red button on the
front face of the SG case to release internal vacuum.
3. Do NOT try to activate damaged equipment.
If everything appears to be present and undamaged proceed to 2.2.2 below.
2.2.2. Charging the Signal Generator (SG)
NOTES:
There are two battery chargers supplied with the equipment. They are identical and can be used
interchangeably to charge either the SG or the Detector Unit (DU).
The SG is powered by completely sealed lead-acid batteries. These batteries are permanently installed
and may be replaced only by a trained technician. External back- up power can be supplied to the SG
through its external port – for more information see part 2 – Survey Procedure manual supplied as
separate document.
Use one of the battery chargers and its power cord to charge the SG as follows:
• Remove the black charging port cover on the SG (located on the front face of the casing).
Unscrew (anti-clockwise) and plug-in the matching charger lead connector.
• Plug in the mains (Power) lead into a mains supply socket outlet (the charger is a 120-
240VAC universal model with a 240VAC 3-pin Euro Plug provided). Make sure the mains
outlet is ‘live’. Note that the mains lead may need to be replaced – or the plug changed – to
suit other mains voltage supplied / outlet sockets.
• Press the SG ON button (located on the SG control panel). A series of messages will
appear in the SG’s LCD display which will stop at the message BATTERY A IS BEING
CHARGED. The computer-controlled charging program will cycle the batteries, charging
each in turn until they are close to being fully charged. At this point the message will
terminate and switch the unit off automatically.
NOTE; the batteries are shipped in a very low state of charge and it may thus take up to 60 hours of
continuous charging to reach a fully charged state. The unit should be left on charge until it turns itself
off. IMPORTANT: interrupting the initial charging cycle may seriously affect the ability of the batteries
ever to reach full capacity.
