1.5 Charging Sensor Batteries
Each sensor contains a 3.6 VDC 5.2 Amp hour sealed NiMM rechargeable battery pack.
To get the maximum life out of the batteries in the sensors, follow these three rules:
1. If the sensors are not in use, charge them.
2. Switch sensors “OFF” during charging if you are using cables.
3. Charge for eleven to thirteen hours, and/or provide an extended charge time
(24 hours or longer) at least once a week.
NOTE: Make sure the main power switch at the rear of the console is
left “ON” and the outlet that supplies power to the aligner is on.
To prevent premature degradation of battery performance, the charger has to replace
125% of the energy that was removed from the battery. It is not necessary to fully
discharge the batteries before charging. However, it is important they be charged
fully.
Charging information:
To recharge the batteries when the sensors are not in use, place the wheel adaptor
sensor assemblies on the cabinet storage hanger and leave the main aligner power on.
Connect the charging wire harness, 38-1103-2, to the charging port(s) on the sensor(s).
