Figure 2-3. Battery Indicator
b.
If the battery needs to be charged when
operating the table on battery power, the red
indicator light on the pendant control will begin to
blink.
2-5. Charging the Battery
Batteries should be charged:
• When the table is placed into initial
service
• As indicated by Battery Indicator
• Every week under normal service
conditions
a. Battery Indicator
The Battery Indicator
consists of ten lighted bars, 3 red, 4 yellow and
3 green. See figure 2-3. Each bar represents a
percentage of the battery charge condition. When
all ten bars are illuminated, the batteries are fully
charged. The following list shows the battery
charge level as indicated by the lighted bars;
3 green
100% -Fully charged
2 green
89%
1 green
78%
4 yellow
67%
3 yellow
56%
2 yellow
45% -Needs Charging (BATT
indicator on pendant will flash)
1 yellow
34% -Needs Charging
3 red
23% -Needs Charging
(poor performance)
2 red
12% -Needs Charging
(intermittent performance)
1 red
1% -Needs Charging
(inoperable)
During charging, the bars will light in sequence
to the respective charge level, turn off and light in
sequence again.
NOTE
When the red light starts to blink
(indicating low power in battery) the
table will operate for approximately
5 continuous minutes, typically long
enough to use the table for the rest of
the day.
NOTE
The charging system operates ONLY
when the table is in AC120V operation
mode.
c.
To recharge the battery, make sure the power
cord is connected, plugged into a 120VAC wall
outlet and the main POWER SWITCH - ON.
NOTE
The table can be operated on 120VAC
power while the battery is being
recharged.
d.
A full battery charge will last approximately 2
weeks under normal operating conditions. However,
it is recommended to charge the batteries at the
end of each week to establish a normal routine
protocol. Lead acid batteries last longer if they
are not permitted to fully discharge. The table
features (2) 12 volt, sealed, lead acid batteries
which require no manual maintenance. Lead acid
gel batteries, under a proper charging program,
feature an approximate normal life of 4 years.
NOTE
If the table is stored for a period greater
than 6 months, the batteries should
be removed and stored in a dry, clean
condition at a storage temperature of 68°
F (20° C). Batteries should be recharged
every 6 months of product storage.
