INTRODUCTION

The T2 is a simultaneous 2 position InterActive ® fast charger with 70 watt DC camera power supply. 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.

Like all Anton/Bauer chargers, everything is automatic. Once a battery is placed onto the charger, it will automatically go into one of the Three Stage Charging modes.

The left side of the charger is dedicated to charging, while the right side operates simultaneously as selected between charging or operating as a camera power supply.

FEATURES

- Two independent 70 Watt Power Supplies – one for charging or DC power, and one exclusively for charging.

- Fast Charging. One hour with most batteries (approximately 2 hours with HyTRON ™ series and 3 hours with Dionic

batteries).

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

- Six (6) Independent Charge Termination Systems.

- Lightweight (2.75lbs.)

SAFEGUARDS

This unit was designed to operate at mains voltages 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 personnel.

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

GROUNDING/EARTHING

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.

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.

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

Green and yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

Charging

As with all Anton/Bauer chargers, charging with T2 is fully automatic. Mount any Digital

Logic Series or Logic Series battery to the T2 and it will automatically determine the appropriate charge routine and execute it.

Applications

The T2 will charge any Anton/Bauer Logic Series Gold Mount ® battery including model: ProPac

®

14, Trimpac

®

14, Digital ProPac 14, Digital Trimpac 14, HyTRON,

Dionic battery.

NOTE: Anton/Bauer recommends that each battery have a charge position, for when the battery is not in use. A battery can remain on an Anton/Bauer

charger indefinitely.

The T2 incorporates the exclusive InterActive communication between battery and charger, which allows the charger to identify any Anton/Bauer battery attached and determine the precise charge routine for that battery under the prevailing conditions.

NOTE: Due to the specialized communications between the charger and the battery, batteries without the Logic Series construction and communication capability (manufactured by Anton/Bauer before 1989 as well as so-called “rebuilds”) can not be charged with this charger.

The InterActive communication of Logic Series batteries is the key which allows the T2 to safely identify and address new style and chemistry batteries as they are developed. Moreover, this communication ensures that batteries contain the quality cells, workmanship and safety of genuine Anton/Bauer products. If a non-Logic Series battery is placed on the charger, the red and green LED indicators will flash alternately.

This indication means that the battery cannot communicate its identity to the T2 and is not charging. After 45 seconds of flashing green and red

LED’s, the red LED will remain on, indicating a HOLD state.

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.

Three Stage Charging Methodology

In general, the T2 will deliver a three stage charge routine to each battery.

1. Stage One will deliver a high rate charge matched to the capabilities of the battery (typically a one or two hour rate, depending on battery type). 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;

Dt/dT - A microprocessor based algorithm which measures a rise in temperature over a specific time, very accurately indicating full charge. This method is also the recommended method for charging Ni-MH technology;

-

ΔV - A method to determine the end of stage one charging by identifying a characteristic “reverse slope” of a Ni-Cd 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.

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

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED VCO – For HyTRON series of batteries. 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 DIONIC batteries.

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. The Stage Two charge for DIONIC batteries reduces current automatically as the battery charges maintaining the lithium ion cells at a safe voltage level. 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 selfdischarge - indefinitely - without damaging heat associated with a so-called

“trickle charge”. The Stage Three programming for DIONIC monitors the self discharge of the battery, providing charge only when the battery self discharges to about 95% of its capacity.

4. NOTE: Batteries may be kept on a charger until ready for use. The Lifesaver mode will keep them 100% charged.

LED Indications

The T2 has two sets of three LEDs (one red, two green). The green status LED indicates: Steady green – line voltage is present with no power drawn through camera output; Flashing green - line voltage is present, powering camera; Off – line voltage not present, camera powered by battery, if there is a battery presently mounted on T2.

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. Please note that the right side charge position will not illuminate the red or green LEDs when power is being drawn from the 4 pin XLR.

Indicates that the T2 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.

Indicates that the battery is being held by the T2 to stabilize an out-of-range temperature condition.

Or it can also indicate if a non-Anton/Bauer Logic Series battery has been mounted on the charger. These batteries cannot identify themselves to the T2 and will not be charged.

Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage One charge.

Indicates that the battery is currently under Stage Two charge.

Indicates a fully charged DIGITAL battery is placed on the charger and a FUL cutoff condition cannot be met. The charger is VERIFYING that the battery is in a full charge condition.

Indicates that the battery is READY and in Stage Three Lifesaver mode.

OPERATION AS DC CAMERA SUPPLY FROM MAINS

The T2 can operate cameras and camcorders using the four pin camera output connector located on the back of the T2. To power the camera, attach one end of the

XLR4 accessory cable (available separately) to the T2. Attach the other end to the

“DC in” four pin XLR on the camera/camcorder. Move the switch located next to the connector to the “CAMERA” position.

The T2 will remember the point at which it left its charge routine for the battery positioned on the right side of the charger. The left side of the charger will continue as a dedicated charging position, regardless of the selected function of the right side of the T2. When the switch is returned to the “CHARGER” position, the batteries will automatically continue charging where they left off.

During camera operation, with batteries on the PowerCharger

® , the unit will indicate a solid RED LED for the right battery position.
