BATTERY CARE AND INSTALLATIONRECHARGEABLE NIMH BATTERIES

The Evolution 4100 TIC is shipped with two NickelMetal Hydride (7.2-volt, 3.6 AH or greater) batteries.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Evolution 4100 TIC utilizes a unique batterymanagement system. The Evolution 4100 TIC canrun from either one or two batteries. With onebattery, the TIC will run for 2.5 hours at 72oF(22oC) while saving the weight expense of asecond battery. The battery can be placed ineither battery slot.

For applications requiring a longer run time, twobatteries can be installed, enabling the TIC to runfor five hours at 72oF (22oC). On power up, theTIC will analyze the batteries and determine whichone has more capacity. The electronics will thenuse that one first. When that battery is completelydischarged, the electronics will automatically switchover to the second battery. Uninterrupted TICoperation will continue until the second battery isdrained. The discharged battery’s correspondinggreen LED will be dimmed to allow for quickidentification and replacement. Because the TIConly drains one battery at a time, the dischargedbattery can be removed without affecting cameraoperation.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND CARE

1. Place the unit on a clean,non-abrasive surface.

2. Unhook the battery latch and open thebattery compartment.

3. Place the battery inside either batterycompartment with the battery logo and arrowfacing upward and the contacts facing intoward the front of the camera.

4. Close and latch the battery compartment.

BATTERY MAINTENANCEAfter each use, inspect:

• battery contacts for damage• batteries and battery adapters for damage

or leakage• charger switches for proper indication that

systems are running correctly• contact points for corrosion or damage to

ensure battery charger is charging by:• placing a battery into the charger

• checking that the battery charger LCDdisplay reacts accordingly.

Note: Batteries not meeting this inspectionmust be removed from service untilthe proper repairs are made.

Note: For optimal performance, the batterycharger should be operated attemperatures between 50 to 70oF(10 to 25oC). Charging batteriesoutside this temperature range mayresult in a charging error and/orpremature battery degradation.

Note: Some Charger models have a calibratebutton on the top surface. The"calibrate" function does not apply tothe DR30 NiMH batteries used bythe Evolution 4100 TIC and shouldnot be used during the chargingcycle.

Note: All TIC NiMH batteries should beperiodically cycled and recharged tohelp maintain good performance. Itis a good practice to fully dischargethe batteries in the thermal imagerand then fully recharge them twice amonth to help ensure better capacityperformance.

" WARNING

This charger system is not rated as"Intrinsically Safe." Do not use the system inenvironments or atmospheres where static orspark may cause an explosion.

The Charger must only be used for chargingEvolution rechargeable NiMH DR30 BatteryPacks.

Do not use damaged chargers.

Do not attempt to charge damaged packs.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVEWARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUSPERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

OperationOnce the Evolution 4100 TIC VMCS is correctlyinstalled, the charger is ready for operation. The VMCS is an automatic, sequential charger(one battery charges at a time). Battery #2 (on thebottom of the unit), if present and chargeable, willbe charged first, followed by Battery #1.

The power status LED indicator should alwaysremain green when the power source is on andproperly connected. If correctly installed andconnected to the Evolution 4100 TIC, thecharger’s status indicators will light as follows:

Battery LED Indicators

OFF No battery present

RED Charging

GREEN Finished charging

BLINKING RED Charge mode pending

*Any LED indication other than that listed indicates faultyoperation and the unit must be returned for service.

Power Status LED Indicator

OFF Power not ON; system not ready

GREEN Power ON; system operational

RED Error circuit fault

*Any LED indication other than that listed indicates faultyoperation and the unit must be returned for service.

Note: For optimal performance, the batterycharger should be operated attemperatures between 50 to 78°F(10 to 25°C). Charging batteriesoutside this temperature range mayresult in a charging error and/orpremature battery degradation.Charging batteries in environmentsgreater than 100°F may result inpremature termination of chargingfunction.

If new batteries are being used, it isrecommended that the Evolution 4100 TIC becompletely charged, discharged, and chargedagain prior to use.

The charging cycle takes approximately 4.5 hoursto completely charge a single battery, orapproximately nine hours for two batteries. Eachcharging cycle begins with a diagnostic period;therefore, charged batteries may show a chargingindication if the interface connector is removedand reconnected, or the power source ismomentarily lost.

Note: If the same batteries are usedconsistently in the Evolution 4100TIC, it is recommended that they berotated monthly (battery 1 andbattery 2 switched).
