IMPORTANT The InterActive 2000 HyTRON battery represents the latest in video battery technology. Nickel Metal Hydrid e (NiMH) is similar to NiCad batteries in most characteristics. However, NiMH has more sen sitive charging and discharging parameters and requires a longer charge time for optimum performance. The charge time is approximately 2-6 hou[...]

INTRODUCTION The development of the new InterA ctive 2000 HyTRON battery system has been made possible by recent advancements in a cell technology originally designed for the mobile computing indus try . These nickel metal hydride cells provide the highest energy density cell available. The high performance of the new batteries is a ssured through [...]

FEATURES 1. Microprocessor Fuel Compu ter - Accurately monitors the energy put into and taken out of the battery. This data is processed with sophisticated programs that take into account battery age, self discharge, charge/discharge rate , cell imbalance and previously experienced charge/discharge cycles. The HyTRON battery constantly “learns”[...]

6. Impac ® Case design - The computer designed high impact case eliminates conventional stress points. This feature protects the cells from impact that would damage or destroy conventional batteries. 7. Gold Mount ® Interface - The solid metal mounting studs assure a smooth, precise mounting for the life of the battery. The Logic Series connector[...]

HIGH VOLTAGE DESIGN Virtually all cameras/camcorders will indicate a low voltage warning or cease to operate at about 11 volts. Unfortunately, a 12 volt battery must be discharged to 10 volts for full discharge. Thus, a camera/camcorder operating on a 12 volt battery will always cease to operate before fully discharging the battery, leaving 50% of [...]

CHARGING WITH LOGIC SERIES INTERACTIVE CHARGERS Charge this battery fully before using. Allow the battery to reach a steady green (LifeSaver ® ) mode before using. Charging is automatic on all Logic Series InterActive chargers. The flashing red and green lights indicate the charger and battery are establishing communications. The following are the[...]

OVER-DISCHARGED BATTERIES Warning: The Hy TRON battery has specialized circuits which ty pically will not allow a battery to overdischarge during extended storage (more than 90 days). However , if the battery is left on a load, such as a light, and allowed to discharge to 0 volts, the battery can be irreversibly damaged. Never leave any battery una[...]

The HyTRON features an all NEW “RealTime” LCD display providing on-the-fly remaining run time estimates in 15 minute increments as well as simultaneously providing remaining capacity information using the traditional “Fuel Gauge” approach. No special adapters or set up is required. RealTime automatically calculates the load and displays cap[...]

-The large numbers 1, 2 or 3 indicate remaining hours under current load (only one number will display at any one time) -The pie chart numbers (15, 30, 45, or 60) indicate remaining minutes under current load. - The InterActive Segment indicates a FULLY CHARGED battery verified by charger communication -Top BAR: Indicates 75%-96% - 2 nd BAR: Indica[...]

If the SIDE BARS (only) flash AND other icons are lit and not flashing, this indicates the battery has requested to be fully charged and discharged in order to update its “learned capacity”. This “learning” should ty pically occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not been fully charged and discharged for some t[...]

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE The HyTRON battery incorporates unique battery management features. Together with Anton/Bauer diagnostic accessories, an effective preventative maintenance program can easily be created to optimize the return on battery investment and gr eatly simplify battery management operations. The PowerCharger, coupled with a DDM (Dia[...]

GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND MAXIMUM LIFE 1. Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of NiMH batteries: a. Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned room s that are maintained between[...]

5. Routine use of a battery at discharge rates greater than the battery rating (e.g. >50w for Hy tron 50) can reduce overall service life. Always select the proper size battery for y our application. 6. Discharging the battery for di agnostic purposes should only be performed on an occasional basis (once every 6-8 weeks at most). Unnecessary dis[...]

SERVICE In the unlikely event a Hy TRON battery fails to deliver acceptable performance, it must be returned to the Anton/Baue r Customer Support Department, the only facility qualified and equipped to servi ce the InterActive 2000 HyTRON batteries and calibrate the electronic components and sensors. Any attempt by the user or any other unauthorize[...]
