3. The LED will display the charge remaining in the battery as a percentage of the full charge. For example, if the display shows the
number 8, it means that 80% of the maximum charge remains in the battery. A display of 10 is shown when the MicroTrap™ VOD/
Data Recorder is fully charged. A display of 0 is shown when the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder requires recharging.
3.4 Recharging
The procedure to recharge the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder is as follows:
1. With the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder switched OFF, connect the Battery
Charger between the DC IN/OUT port on the back of the MicroTrap™ VOD/
Data Recorder and the wall outlet. The LED will display Ch indicating that
charging is progressing.
2. Full recharging will take up to 10 hours. When charging has been completed,
the Ch message on the LED will flash. Disconnect the Battery Charger at this
point. Do not leave the unit to continuously charge as damage will occur as
the battery will generate heat and will decrease the total capacity over time.
3. Unplug the Battery Charger from the wall outlet and then from the
MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder. The MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder
battery status can be tested as detailed in Chapter 3.3.
3.5 Operating The MicroTrap™ from External Power Sources
The MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder can be operated from AC voltage mains power using the Battery Charger. When operating from
AC mains through the Battery Charger, the LED will display P.
The MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder can be operated from a 12 VDC battery connected to the DC IN/OUT port on the back of the
MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder. Contact MREL to obtain the 12 VDC Battery Adapter required for connecting the battery to the DC IN/
OUT port. When operating the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder from a 12 VDC battery, the LED will display P.
CAUTION
The MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder will operate appropriately at low power levels as indicated by 0 on the LED. The
MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder will emit a beeping sound continuously for up to 30 minutes before it shuts itself OFF.
The MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder shuts itself off to help prevent complete discharging of the internal battery. It is
important to note that the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder has a non-volatile memory, allowing the data to be stored
safely regardless of the power status of the internal battery.
CAUTION
Do not connect the MicroTrap™ VOD/Data Recorder directly to a 12 VDC source without any current-limiting circuit.
Damage will occur to the unit and it will need to be returned for repair to an authorized facility.
