GROUNDING/EARTHING

The CINE VCLX/2 charger is a three (3) hour fast charger designed specially for the CINE VCLX/2 battery system. It incorporates all of the

Logic Series® circuits that are employed in every Anton/Bauer charger.

The InterActive® charge programming provides all charge termination and protection routines for safe, reliable, chemistry independent charging.

IMPORTANT WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

To ensure safe operation, the three pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively grounded through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-conductor and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth ground. Improperly wired extension cords are a dangerous electrical hazard.

Like all Anton/Bauer chargers, everything is automatic. Once a battery is plugged into the charger, it will automatically go into the charging mode.

FEATURES

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is properly grounded and that the installation is completely safe. If any doubt exists about the correct grounding of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

• Three (3) hour charge time

• Red and Green status LED’s

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

Wide Range Input (100-240vac 50/60Hz)

Six (6) Independent Charge Termination Systems

Green and Yellow

• Lightweight (2.5lbs.)

SAFEGUARDS CHARGING

Power Sources: This unit was designed to operate at mains volt

ages from 100 to 240 Volts AC, 50-60 Hz.

Important: When powering charger using a generator, the generator

must produce a sine wave or modified sine wave output,

otherwise charger may be damaged.

Risk of Electrical Shock: Refer servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel.

As with all Anton/Bauer chargers, charging with CINE VCLX/2 charger is fully automatic. Attach the CINE VCLX/2 battery to the CINE VCLX/2 charger and it will automatically determine the appropriate charge routine and execute it.

APPLICATIONS

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

NOTE: A battery can remain on an Anton/Bauer charger indefinitely.

The CINE VCLX/2 charger incorporates the exclusive InterActive communication between battery and charger, which allows the charger to identify an Anton/

Bauer battery when attached and determine the precise charge routine for that battery under the prevailing conditions.

WARNING: USE OF THIS CHARGER WITH ANY BATTERY NOT

MANUFACTURED BY ANTON/BAUER MAY RESULT

IN BATTERY DAMAGE AND CAUSE RISK OF FIRE

OR PERSONAL INJURY. ANTON/BAUER ACCEPTS

NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY INJURY OR DAMAGE

ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF BATTERIES NOT

MANUFACTURED (OR BATTERIES SERVICED OTHER

THAN) BY ANTON/BAUER. SUCH USE WILL VOID ANY

WARRANTY.

In general, the CINE VCLX/2 charger will deliver a three stage charge

routine to each battery.

LED INDICATIONS

1. STAGE ONE will deliver a high rate charge matched to the capabilities of the battery. During this stage, six separate cutoff methods are in operation, simultaneously, ensuring the fastest, safest charge for that battery:

TCO - Temperature cutoff which stops the Stage one charge precisely when a temperature indicative of full charge is reached;

The CINE VCLX/2 charger has two sets of LEDs.

The red and green charge status LED’s indicate the charging status of the battery. The following table identifies all of the LED indications and their meaning.

Dt/dT - A microprocessor based algorithm which measures a rise in temperature over a specific time, very accurately indicating full charge.

-ΔV - A method to determine the end of stage one charging by identifying a characteristic “reverse slope” of a cell. Since this characteristic can be disguised by the age, temperature and the number of the cells in a battery, it can never be employed alone;

CCO - This method requires the identification of the particular battery size (capacity) and chemistry, an exclusive Anton/Bauer

Logic Series feature. The charger determines the maximum charge time for the particular battery and uses this information to ensure that overcharge conditions are avoided.

LED INDICATION

Alternating

Red & Green

Steady Red

MEANING

Indicates that the CINE VCLX/2 charger is evaluating the battery and/or communicating with a DIGITAL battery, loading battery parameters and determining the appropriate charge routine. A low voltage

(<11V) battery will cause this indication to continue until the battery reaches safe charging voltage.

FUL - This determination is made when a fully charged battery is returned to a charger within specified parameters of time, temperature, and battery voltage. The battery communicates its fully charged condition and the charger confirms the parameters and immediately indicates a fully charged condition, without additional verification.

Flashing Red

Indicates that the battery is being held by the charger to stabilize an out-of-range temperature condition.

Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage One charge.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED VCO – Optimizes VCO cutoff to operate only within certain temperature parameters.

In addition, a voltage limiting constant current Stage One routine address the critical parameters of li ion batteries.

Steady Green Indicates that the battery is

READY and in Stage Two or

Three Lifesaver mode.

2. STAGE TWO charging is a BALANCING or “stabilizing” mode which calculates each battery pack type to offset any imbalance of the battery’s cells, created by unequal self discharge or any capacity mismatch of the individual cells in the pack. This stage can vary in duration from zero to as much as 16 hours, depending on the condition of the battery. A battery will typically leave Stage Two in

2-4 hours under average operating conditions.

3. STAGE THREE charging is the Anton/Bauer exclusive

Lifesaver® maintenance mode. This patented pulse routine keeps batteries fully charged, free from self-discharge indefinitely without damaging heat associated with a so-called “trickle charge”.

Red/Green Charge Status LED

Green Status LED

4. NOTE: Batteries may be kept on a charger until ready for use.

The Lifesaver mode will keep them 100% charged.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

This equipment has been approved by one or more agencies. All changes and/or modifications not expressly approved by Anton Bauer, Inc. could void the users’ warranty and authority to operate this equipment. There are no serviceable parts in this equipment.
