User manual SIMRAD ITI FAST CHARGER QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE REV D

[. . . ] Safety first Hazards may arise if nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries are improperly used. The ITI Fast Charger has been designed to only recharge ITI sensors with blue labels. [. . . ] To ensure safe and correct charging of the ITI sensors, the ambient temperature must be within the specified limits. In low temmperatures, hydrogen gas may be generated inside the sealed battery cell, and this will increase the pressure. Increasing the pressure inside a sealed battery Warnings DO NOT connect the fast charger to ITI sensors with red label. DO NOT start charging if ambient temperature is lower than +15°C (59°F) or higher then +45°C (113°F). DO NOT use the ITI Fast Charger to charge any other equipment than Simrad's blue labeled ITI sensors. DO NOT charge the ITI sensors with any other charger than those delivered by Simrad. Danger may occur if the charging current is too high or otherwise out of control. Recharge the batteries at least once every two months, whether they are used or not. Compartment where hydrogen and oxygen are present may under some conditions result in an explosion. Connecting the ITI Fast Charger to any other equipment than ITI's blue labeled sensors must never be done, as the battery may not be designed for fast charging. ITI sensors with red labels are not prepared for fast charging, and must never be connected to the ITI Fast Charger. charger installation 1) Four holes are provided for mounting the charger to the bulkhead. [. . . ] The charger has a built-in controller to switch from fast charging to maintenance charging when the battery voltage reaches a preset value, or after approximately three hours controlled by the built-in timer. The charger may remain connected for an unlimited time when the lamp is green. [. . . ]
