Instructions for Use

3. Introduction

This manual describes the necessary safety precautions and gives a brief overview of the

functionality of the Initialisation Device Charger, also referred to as the Charger Carrier. The

STRYDE system is a seismic acquisition system for professional use, and the Charger Carrier is

used to recharge the batteries of the Initialisation Device in this system. For operation and

detailed description of the entire system, please refer to the STRYDE Operation Support

Product File.

4. Product Overview

The Initialisation Device Charger is a charging device that is used to charge up to 45

Initialisation Devices simultaneously. The charger can either be rack mounted using custom

mounting hardware; or placed on a suitable workbench (for example in the tech shop). It is a

standalone unit that needs to be connected to a single-phase mains supply. Up to 45

Initialisation Devices can be placed into the charging slots and the lid is attached. Once

powered, the charging process is started automatically by communication between the

charger and Initialisation Device (via the Qi charging standard.) The rate of charge is

regulated by an Integrated Circuit on the Initialisation Device and will automatically cease

once the battery charge reaches a pre-determined level. The Initialisation Device also

provides feedback on the charging state using LED indicators.

The Initialisation Devices Chargers are not available for consumers to purchase and are only

sold to limited number of industrial customers who will have to sign confidentiality agreements

before gaining access to the product and documents.
