P350 flexitrax Operation Manual 7
1.5 Internal Rechargeable Battery
The P350+ Controller with optional internal battery can power a Pushrod system for up to 5 hours without needing an
external power connection,, or to review P350 surveys while detached from the system. It cannot power the crawler
system due to the high-power requirements of these components.
To charge the internal battery, connect either:
The mains battery charger, see figure 1.12 (left), connected to your mains electricity source.
The automotive charger, for use with car vehicles sockets.
You can also connect the automotive charger to the desktop AC/DC power supply to be able to charge from mains.
The first time you charge this battery, you should allow at least 6 hours to fully charge it. When fully charged the status
indicator will light up as a solid green (with no flashing).
The charging temperature of the internal battery is 0° to 45°C.
To use the battery, connect the battery power lead to the controller power input as shown (Figure 1.12, right) below.
WARNING! Use only the supplied mains battery charger or the optional automotive charger. Do not plug any other
connectors into the Li-Ion charger socket. Protect the charger against high relative-humidity and water. Do not attempt to
open the charger. Do not use the charger for charging other batteries. Failure to comply will damage the charger.
CAUTION: Keep the power connector clean and dry at all times. Cover the power lead connector on the box
when it is not in use.
The P350+ flexiprobe battery contains Li-Ion cells. Follow local
and national regulations for the correct handling of battery cells.
Including environmental and shipping considerations.
To check the charge status of the internal battery, press the
battery check button and the status lights above will display in 5
increments the estimated charge status.
CAUTION: We recommend the use of an alternative power
source when batteries are low, due to the risk of losing survey
information. A low battery level may also cause the system power
to cycle repeatedly.
