OCU Automatic Shut Down
The OCU can be configured with an auto-off shut down timer. The OCU powers OFF automatically when no activity is detected
and auto-off timer elapses.
Battery State-of-Charge Indicators
The NOVA M OCU includes one battery compartment on its bottom, compatible with Hetronic’s 3.6V NiMH batteries. Depending
on the OCU variant, the battery state of charge is either indicated by the corresponding LED on the middle console or by the
corresponding icon on the LCD display.
Subject to how the OCU is configured, a periodic audible warning is given to indicate low battery level. Once the battery reaches
a critical state of charge, a faster audible warning is given, indicating that the OCU will soon power OFF.
Battery Charging
The NOVA M batteries are only compatible with Hetronic UCH-2 battery charger. Follow the instructions in the UCH-2 battery
charger user manual to ensure best performance of your OCU and prolonged battery lifetime.
Tethered Control using Control Cable or Cabled Battery Back-up
If equipped with this option, use the control cable provided with the purchase of your NOVA M OCU. Follow the instructions
provided in section 7.8 of the user manual for further guidance. Alternatively, if OCU was purchased with the cabled battery back-
up option, the corresponding cable can be used.
Pairing the NOVA M to a new MCU
The Hetronic standard NOVA M OCU can only be paired with a new MCU by exchanging the ADMO keys inside the OCU with pre-
programmed ones. Follow section 7.9 of the user manual for further instructions.
