Charging the vbSeries Battery Pack
Before charging the vb5, vb6, vb7, vb8, vbBalancer or vbBalancer+ battery pack, ensure that the power transformer used is an approved power adapter 12 V 3 A output, centre positive. Do not use the plug-pack transformers supplied with earlier model Commtest portable analyzers such as the vb1000, vb2000, vb3000 or Profiler instruments.
The power adapter supplied in the kit provides the correct DC voltage.
- Connect the AC power adapter included with the instrument to a powered outlet (100-240 Volt, 50/60 Hz ).
Note: The optional car adapter charging lead may also be used to charge the battery pack in a vehicle with a 12 V negative-chassis power system.
- Connect the adapter's DC output to the instrument's charger power socket. The instrument's Power supply and Charging LED indicators will illuminate indicating a charging state.
Note: A full battery charge will complete in approximately 3 hours.
The fast-charge Lithium Ion-type battery pack should be charged for a minimum of 1 hour before or during its initial use.
