Cradle Charger: MPACT-MB6000-CHRGR
Initial Charging and Use
When a brand new badge is received it should be inserted into the badge cradle before its initial use. The
badge should be charged fully before its first use. The badge will automatically update its firmware and
configuration profile if connected to the Wi-Fi network and the gateway (if there is a profile update on the
server).
The badge will blink green while charging and solid green when fully charged.
The badge cradle can charge one to ten badges at a time. The AC powered charger is a wall or desk
mounted cradle platform providing 5Vdc to each badge placed in individual charging slots. The charger
feeds electric current through battery inside the badge. The cell inside retains the energy passing through
them.
Figure 36 Charger
Each slot has spring contacts that mate with the contacts on the badge. Badges have battery chargers and
fuel gages built into each device so the charger is a power supply platform and no battery knowledge
exists in the charger itself, everything to charge and protect a lithium Ion battery is built into the badge
itself.
The charger's primary function is providing 5Vdc at 900 mA to each badge holder re-charge badge
batteries. The charger holds badges when not in use. When badges are in the charger, they begin to
charge using the 5Vdc supplied in the charger base. If there is sufficient charge detected, the badge uses
the charger as a holder (without charging).
