MU-A-RectiRail DL2-rev01a-Gb 10 / 44
3.5 Battery
The RectiRail DL2 has an internal block of 7.2v Ni-MH rechargeable batteries that
must not be removed by the user. The following procedure must be complied with
when charging the
RectiRail DL2
1) Place the
RectiRail DL2 on a flat surface having first ensured that this surface is
clean and dry.
2) Insert the charger plug in the socket located on the side of the
RectiRail DL2 and plug the charger into the mains supply. The charger has a
range of input operating voltages from 100VAC to 240VAC, 50-60 Hz. If a
generator set is used, this set must be started before plugging in the charger (to
avoid the risk of voltage peaks on starting).
3) The device takes roughly 5 hours to charge, when the batteries are completely
discharged. During charging, the red LED on the “cancel” button will blink. When it
stops blinking, charging is complete. During charging, you can use the
RectiRail
DL2.
4) Once the battery is charged, unplug the charger from the mains supply and
remove the socket from the device. The
RectiRail DL2 is now ready to be used.
Cold affects battery performance. We thus recommend that the
RectiRail DL2 be
stored in a temperate place.
If the device is not to be used for several days, it must not be left charging as this will
damage the batteries in the long-term.
If they are not used, the batteries will discharge in roughly 2 months. We thus
recommend that you recharge the
RectiRail DL2 approximately once a month even if
you do not use it. In normal conditions of use, there is no need to run a ‘cycle’
(discharging and charging) on the
RectiRail DL2 batteries. However, if instrument
autonomy is reduced, a complete discharging cycle may help restore battery capacity.
To do this, set the timeout at 0 (no switch off) and leave it in operation (green LED on)
for 12 hours (or until the green LED goes out).
The RectiRail must then be recharged for 5 hours.
