pull the mains plug from the mains socket, then pull
the charging plug from the charging socket of the ac
-
cumulator box).
Caution! The charger and charging plug can get
hot while charging. After you have finished charg
-
ing, let the charger and charging plug cool down before
you touch them.
7. After the charger is disconnected from the accumula
-
tor box, the system switches off completely (switches
to Off mode) after 1 minute (system check) if pro
-
grammed to partial charging. For safety reasons relat
-
ing to air transport, the system can only be switched
back on from Off mode using a connected and active
charger.
8. Store the SEABOB and accumulator box ACS sepa
-
rately from the SEABOB ACS on a stable, level sur
-
face in a place that is cool, dry, well ventilated and
frostproof. The optimum storage temperature is +10
to +25 °C / +50 to +77 °F.
High temperatures may shorten the life of the Li-
Ion accumulator cells.
When storing the device for an extended period,
you should repeat the charging process after
4 weeks at the latest to maintain the minimum charge
state required for storage. If this is not done, total dis
-
charge may result, causing irreparable chemical damage
to the valuable High-Energy Li-Ion accumulator cells. The
internal accumulator management system will not per
-
mit further charging of a totally discharged accumulator
box (under 2.5 V per Li-Ion accumulator cell).
Final acoustic warning when the total discharge
point is reached:
If the voltage of a Li-Ion accumulator cell falls below
3.1 V, the accumulator box emits a short signal (beep
-
ing sound) every 5 seconds. These final warning signals
indicating a voltage under 3.1 V are emitted for a period
lasting up to several days before the Li-Ion accumulator
cells are totally discharged (voltage under 2.5 V), causing
irreparable chemical damage to the cells. Charge the ac
-
cumulator box immediately! The acoustic signals are
emitted until the cells are recharged to a voltage above
3.1 V or the accumulator cells are totally and irreparably
discharged due to lack of charging.
Note: Acoustic signals may still be emitted even if the
cell voltage has already fallen below 2.5 V and the ac
-
cumulator management system does not permit further
charging.
Note: For storage exceeding 4 weeks, in particular stor-
age over the winter, we recommend keeping the activat
-
ed charger connected continuously to the accumulator
box (trickle-charge) to maintain the required charge state
and prevent total discharge. Before doing this, make sure
that you activate charge state "air transport / storage"
in the menu (see also Chapter 5.4.10 "Charge display").
The charging process is controlled automatically by the
charger and accumulator management system.
Never expose the SEABOB, the accumulator box
and the charger to high temperatures (max. 60 °C /
140 °F) caused e.g. by open fire, direct sunlight or by stor
-
age inside a closed motor vehicle or boot. If exposed to
heat, flaming gases can be discharged through the ac
-
cumulator cells‘ safety valve causing serious injury. In ad
-
dition, the LCD display will turn black if exposed to heat
and may become irreparably damaged.
Protect the charger, in particular the charging
plug with sealing cap and mains plug as well as
the charging socket on the accumulator box from dam
-
age, dirt, dust, moisture and heat. Not doing so may re
-
sult in electric shock!
