7. Quad pager charging rack

The quad pager charging rack charges up to 4 pagers at one

time in the rack, with a maximum charge times of 12 hours to

charge a pager battery to 50% of its capacity.

The pager reports charging in its usual status report. An extra

report is generated when a pager enters or leaves the charger

so the hub can update its status quickly.

When a pager reports its battery status as charging, this is

shown on the device status display.

Man down and dead man alarms are automatically disabled

when a pager is inserted into the charging rack.

When a pager is installed in a charging rack, a user-

configurable feature allows the pager to be set to receive or

ignore messages, allowing the pager to continue to function in

the charging rack if required.

The standard EkoTek PSU is used as the rack PSU and can be

used to power up to two charging racks.

Note: The pager must be fitted with a NiMH rechargeable cell when used in a

charging rack. Use of the charging rack with other types of cell may damage the

pager.
