IMPORTANT The Logic Series DIGITAL battery has been specifically designed to be charged with the Anton/Bauer Logic Series InterActive Chargers ONLY (any InterActive 2000 PowerCharger, MP-4D, Quad, Dual, MP-2, Q2, ABC-800H or CPS-2). These Chargers were developed in anticipation of the DIGITAL battery and include the proper DIGITAL interface circuitry. Since all programming is contained on one single EPROM chip, earlier Logic Series Charger models already in the field may not contain t

INTRODUCTION The Logic Series Digital Battery System couples the most advanced NiCad battery and charging technology with the first and only capacity measurement system in the industry. The Anton/Bauer DIGITAL battery uses InterActive Logic Series technology which includes sensors, a microprocessor controller and data circuits in the battery to communicate with an Anton/Bauer charger as well as video cameras for precise and dependable performance. The microprocessor actually allows th

3. Viewfinder Fuel Gauge Display - The DIGITAL battery was developed in cooperation with all the major equipment manufacturers including Sony, Ikegami, Panasonic, JVC, BTS, and Hitachi. Cameras and camcorders are now available that feature Anton/Bauer compatible InterActive systems that connect with the DIGITAL battery “Fuel Computer” and display an accurate “Fuel Gauge” of remaining battery capacity in the viewfinder. 4. Battery Management Data - The built-in two level LCD in the Lo

8. Gold Mount Interface - The solid metal “H” design mounting studs assure a smooth, precise mounting for the life of the battery. The Logic Series connector assembly features multiple gold plated, self aligning contacts and is compatible with all existing Anton/Bauer camera mounts and accessories. 9. Individual Computer Testing - Like all professional Anton/Bauer batteries, the Logic Series DIGITAL battery has been individually computer tested. For assurance of optimum capacity, vol

APPLICATIONS Virtually all cameras, camcorders, and other video field equipment specifies a maximum voltage of 18 volts. The 14.4 volt DIGITAL battery will provide superior performance and greater run time on that equipment. CAUTION: Certain older equipment is not designed to accept 14.4 volt NiCad batteries. The 14.4 volt DIGITAL battery could damage such equipment. Check with the equipment manufacturer or the Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group prior to using a 14.4 volt battery.

HIGH RATE DISCHARGE For a given size and battery type, higher discharge currents will reduce overall life expectancy while lower discharge currents will enhance overall battery life. The DIGITAL battery incorporates a unique feature that will flash the “LCD” display when a high rate discharge current (equipment load) is applied to the battery. The LCD indicator will resume normal operation when the high rate discharge current is either reduced below the rating or completely removed.

CHARGING WITH LOGIC SERIES 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 chargers. The flashing red and green lights indicate the charger and battery are establishing communications. The following are the standard indications on any Logic Series Lifesaver Charger (Please refer to the Charger manual for complete Charger instructions): • Alternating red and green: Eva

OVER-DISCHARGED BATTERIES An “over-discharged” voltage state is caused by leaving a battery operated device unattended and allowing the battery to drain beyond the low voltage warning point of the equipment and/or the “Flashing 15 minute segment” indication on the LCD of the DIGITAL battery. Low voltage over-discharged batteries can also be caused by allowing batteries to remain off the charger for extended periods. Returning batteries to the Logic Series Lifesaver Charger as soon as p

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) The “RealTime” LCD display provides 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 capacity information and battery status at all times. Remaining Runtime Hours Minutes The large numbers 1, 2 or 3 indicate remaining hours un

If the INTERACTIVE segment flashes, this indicates the battery has requested to be fully charged and discharged in order to update its “learned capacity”. This “learning” or “calibration” should typically occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not been fully charged and discharged for some time, this indication will appear. To remove the flashing INTERACTIVE segment, fully charge the battery (STEADY GREEN indication) on the InterActive 2000 charger. Then

RealTime Display Indications • When the battery is being charged no remaining runtime is displayed. • Remaining run time is calculated using the present available battery capacity and a constantly updated accurate measurement of the present load on the battery. • If no load is detected, or if the battery is removed from the charger before any discharge load is applied, the default assumed power for remaining run time calculations is 20 Watts. • When the battery determines that a l

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE The DIGITAL 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 greatly simplify battery management operations. The PowerCharger, coupled with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module), will provide a complete battery management system. The PowerCharger will allow you to run diagnostic evaluations

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 NiCad batteries: a. Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms that are maintained between 65°F to 85°F for best performance. b. On assignment - Do not leave batteries in a hot vehicle trunk or out in direct sunlight unnecessar

5. Discharging the battery for diagnostic purposes should only be performed on an occasional basis (once every 6-8 weeks at most). Unnecessary discharging only detracts from overall life. 6. Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery terminals will ensure continued reliable operation. Dirty terminals may cause the battery to indicate a steady red (“Hold”) mode on the charger. Cleaning the terminals with a pencil eraser or lightly scraping the surface with a blunt ins

SERVICE In the unlikely event a DIGITAL battery fails to deliver acceptable performance, it must be returned to the Anton/Bauer Service Department, the only facility qualified and equipped to service the Logic Series DIGITAL batteries and calibrate the electronic components and sensors. Any attempt by the user or any other unauthorized persons to service this battery will surely result in improper calibration of the electronic components resulting in severe battery damage and/or safe
