DC INPUT CONNECTOR - This 5.5 mm/2.1 mm, center positive, DC power

connector is used to provide a DC voltage to charge the rechargeable

battery. The universal AC/DC power supply provided with the transmitter

as a standard accessory plugs into this connector to charge the battery.

Alternatively, a DC voltage source capable of supplying 22-30 VDC at 1.5A can be

plugged into this connector to charge the battery. The connector is covered with a

spring-loaded plastic cap to prevent water and dust from damaging the transmitter.

ACCESSORIES - The standard accessories provided with the Rex transmitter are:

conductive clips, the universal power supply with line cord, ground stake, a soft

carry-all bag with space for the transmitter, the receiver.

Many optional accessories are also available. The following list includes the most

common ones. Please contact Schonstedt or your local dealer for details.

 Inductive clamp (3" ID, 5" ID and 7" ID)

 Sondes (512 Hz)

 Medium size conductive clips

 Large size conductive clips

 Spare/Replacement Transmitter Recharge-able Battery Pack

Battery Charger

The battery charger is especially designed to charge the internal custom NiMH

battery pack that powers the Rex transmitter. It will typically charge a fully

discharged battery in under 4 hours, and it has smart safety features to monitor the

charge process. It is recommended to first charge the batteries for at least 4 hours

before the initial use. The power jack or line cord should be accessible while charging

for quick disconnect, if necessary.

The charger is built into the unit, and the AC/DC power supply plugs directly into the

transmitter. The power supply is universal and will accept any AC input voltage in the

100 - 240 volt range, 50 or 60 Hz. A variety of power line cords are available to

accommodate different style plugs around the world.

For in-vehicle charging, plug the AC/DC power supply into one of the many

commercially available vehicle DC-to-AC inverters capable of supplying at least 100

W of power.

The transmitter detects when the charger is plugged in, and it will automatically go

into battery charging mode. To protect the battery from an extremely deep

discharge, the transmitter will also turn itself off when the battery voltage has reached

a critically low level and the charger IS NOT plugged in.

When the Rex transmitter detects that the battery charger is plugged in while the

power is turned ON, it will display “bAt CHA” on the LCD and the bars inside the
