Installation: Connections
Powering the Monitor
Power Sources
The ProCare Monitor is designed to operate from an internal lead-acid battery.
NOTE:The ProCare Monitor is not designed to operate without an internal
battery.
Battery Charging
The Monitor charges the Lead-Acid battery whenever the AC power supply is in
use. The Monitor automatically senses if the battery needs recharging. Battery
charging will continue as long as the Monitor is connected to the AC power
supply, even when the Monitor is turned off.
 Batteries should be charged before first use or after long periods of storage.
 The battery should be charged before use, as a charged battery loses some
charge when left in storage.
 The battery should be charged at room temperature (59° F - 86° F; 16° C -
30° C).
 It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging or after use.
 Batteries can be charged or topped-off at any time. Battery should not be
fully discharged.
 If the Monitor is idle for extended periods, it should be fully charged once a
month to ensure optimum performance.
 Prior to each use, inspect the power supply cord to ensure proper
connection and condition.
NOTE:Before the ProCare Monitor is used for the first time, the battery should
be charged in the Monitor for at least 8 hours.
With external DC power connected, the green CHARGING indicator will light to
indicate that the battery is charging.
When the Monitor is operating on battery power and the BATTERY LOW alarm is
not active, the BATTERY indicator is backlit green. When the Monitor is operating
on battery power and the BATTERY LOW alarm is active, the BATTERY indicator
flashes green, the LOW indicator flashes amber, and the medium priority alarm
sounds until it is acknowledged. Press the Silence button to acknowledge this
alarm. Once it is acknowledged, the indicators continue to flash, but the audible
alarm is silenced for 10 minutes. Once the BATTERY LOW condition becomes
active, the Monitor should be connected to a DC power supply to recharge the
battery (refer to “Power Requirements” in Product Overview section). If the
Monitor continues to be used without charging the battery, the Monitor
eventually enters a fail-safe mode (E13: BATTERY TOO LOW TO OPERATE). Refer
to the Alarms Section for information of an E13 error code.
