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
