LTI TRUCAM LASER MEASUREMENT DEVICE - Tele-Traffic

Section 2 - TruCAM Components
Power Supply
A Lithium-ion Polymer rechargeable Battery Pack powers the TruCAM. The Battery Pack is located in
the TruCAM’s handle. It is protected from short circuit and overcharge, and will provide 9 to 15 hours of
cordless operation.
Charging the Battery Pack
WARNING
Be sure to follow the instructions below while charging the battery.
Failure to do so may cause the battery to become hot, rupture or ignite and cause serious injury.
• When charging the battery, use the charging cable that shipped with your TruCAM.
• Do not attach the battery to a power supply plug or directly to a car’s cigarette lighter.
• Do not place the battery in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. When the battery becomes hot, the
built-in safety equipment is activated, preventing the battery from charging further. Heating the battery
can destroy the safety equipment and cause additional heating, breaking or ignition of the battery.
Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so
may cause the battery to become hot, rupture or ignite.
CAUTION
Li-ion battery cells can become unstable (potentially dangerous) at low and high temperatures.
Charging Temperature Range: 0°C to 45°C (32° F to 113°F). Charging the battery outside of this range
may cause the battery to become hot or to break. Charging the battery outside of this temperature
range may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce the battery’s life expectancy.
Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
Immediately unplug the charging cable if during the charging process, the battery emits an unusual
smell, feels hot, changes colour, changes shape or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact Tele
Traffic UK Ltd if any of these problems are observed.
To avoid damaging your TruCAM or the Charging Cable, check to be sure all connectors are properly
aligned before connecting them.
If battery voltage is below normal operation level (page 9), please
power OFF the TruCAM and recharge the Battery Pack as soon as
possible. The Charging Cable works in a standard electrical outlet.
You can also charge your TruCAM in your automobile with an optional
Automobile Charger that works in your vehicle’s electrical cigarette
lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
1. Plug the appropriate end of the Charging Cable into the bottom of
the battery pack as shown in Figure 4. Before applying any force,
ensure that the pins in the bottom of the handle are aligned with the
Charging Cable.
2. Plug the other end of the Charging Cable into a power outlet.
