Using the Model 8211 and Model 8212 Battery Chargers
Charging the Model 8117 and 2120 Analyzers with the Model 8212 Charger
After plugging the charging cable (A821102) into the 8212, plug the other
end of the cable into the charger connection on the top end cap of the
Model 8117 or the Model 2120 analyzer. Ensure the LED on the analyzer
illuminates, if applicable. The Model 8117 battery pack will recharge in 14
to 16 hours. If the batteries are allowed to continually remain on charge for
longer than 16 hours, battery degradation will occur. Overnight charging is
allowable, however, charging over a weekend is not recommended. The
Model 2120 battery pack will recharge in two hours then switch to a trickle
charge that will not damage the battery.
Charging the Model 8000 Analyzer with the Model 8212 Charger
The Model 8212 trickle charger CAN NOT charge an UltraSpec 8000 ana-
lyzer. To charge the 8000 use either a Model 8211 (previously discussed in
this section) or the Model 2115-C-120 wall charger.
Note
See “UltraSpec 8000 Analyzer Battery Recharge” on page 9-6
and “UltraSpec 8117 Analyzer Battery Recharge” on page 9-9
for information on optional methods of charging the UltraSpec
analyzer.
Battery Usage - Laser Heads
A rechargeable battery pack is used to power each sensor head. A fully
charged battery pack will give 3 to 4 hours of continuous service while
transmitting data. Longer operation is possible since typical alignments do
not require continuous communication with the analyzer. The battery is
designed to have a long life and is not intended to be replaced by the user.
Replacement should be performed only at CSI. CSI recommends that the
batteries be replaced after 1,000 charges/discharges.
