A rack-mountable, high-power, simultaneous broadcast battery charger, designed for use in outside brodcast vehicles. Designed to be mounted in a half-width racking system, and measuring 1U high. This charger is equally suitable for use in a workshop environment.
Used to simultaneously fast-charge V-mount batteries (Li-Ion and NiMH) manufactured by PAG and Sony, via four battery mount plates. The battery mount plates have a captive one metre cable, terminated with an XLR4M connector. The charger's XLR4F connections are situated on its rear panel. A comprehensive liquid crystal display shows the status of the battery and charger. The charger is fully automatic in operation an no user controls are provided.
The charger has several charging programs: An intelligent parallel charging program with a maximum output of 16.8V, 6A, 100W; and a recovery program, to recover a Li-Ion battery where the output has been shut down. Both programs are monitored by an internal microcomputer, which constantly monitors the battery under charge as well as the operation of the charger's own functions which will be shut down to a safe condition should any of the tests fail. The charger also has protection for short-circuit, excess battery voltage and AC mains failure. Designed to comply with electrical safety standard BS EN 60065 and UL6500. UK mains leads are fitted with a BS1362 rated 5A fuse as standard. Power input: 90-265V AC, 50/60Hz, 140W
Note: NiMH batteries are charged sequentially
