The

Reserve Battery System

Many car drivers,

despite

having a large lueltank and

accurate

fuel

gauge,

carry

a reserve fuel can

in their car:

stuck

with an empty tank

unpleasant,

and can

be dangerous.

your

transmitter

"runs

out of

juice"

while

you

are

using it, then that

is rather worse than

unpleasant:

it usually

means the loss of the

model, not

to mention other

dangers.

The

reserve battery is a

form of safety net to

guard

against such

nasty surprises.

gives you

a solid

reserve

operatrng

period

of about

15 minutes.

That is

enough

get

any model safely

onto the

ground

in one

piece.

How

it works

The reserve

battery is automatically

charged up

when-

ever

the main battery

is recharged,

through a special

electronic

circuit.

cannot

be overcharged.

ln fact,

you

never need to

think about it at all under

normal circum-

stances.

lf the

voltage of

your

main transmitter battery

falls to the danger

point

and

the

audible

monitor signal

sounds,

then

you

can select

your

"utterly

certainf'

safety

system,

by manually switching

to the

reserve battery.

chose

this method of switching

deliberately.

The monitor

lamo will

flash for all the time the transmitter

is switched

to the

reserve battery. Because

of the flashing

lamp

you

are

bound to be aware

that the transmitter

is being sup-

plied

from the

reserve battery

switch on again

later. tor examole.

Charge

current

and charge

period

The automatic

charge circuit

for the

reserve battery

bleeds

oft a current

of about 30

mA from the charge cur-

rent

which is supplied

to the transmitter.

As most charg-

ers oroduce

a constant

current,

the main transmitter

bat-

tery

deprived

that 30 mA, and

you

should therefore

charge

for

longer than

normal. The charge

period

should

always

be calculated

from the residual current

which is

fed to the main battery.

Here is an example:

Current

from charger

200 mA

Charge

period

increases by 30/200

you

have a charger

with switchable or

selectable cur-

rent ranges,

you

can, of course,

increase the charge

rate

by about

30mA, and

your

normal charge

period

will be

unchanged.

Rapid-charging

The reserve

battery is always

charged at

the

"normal"

current,

i.e. at the

14-hour rate

even

you

rapid-

charge

the

main battery.

you

slow-charge

the main

battery

in the normal

way, then the

reserve battery

will

always

fully charged.

However, if

you

usually

use a

rapid-charging

technique,

it may happen

that the charge

period

is not sufficient

to compensate

for the self-dis-

charge

tendency

oJ the reserve

battery.

This is more

likely at

high temperalures,

or if

you

not use the sys-

tem

for a considerable

time. For this

reason always

give

a slow

charge every

10th cycle

which

you

ought

to do

in any case

for other

reasons.

you

have cause to use

the reserve

battery,

you

must slow-charge

the battery at

least

once before

using it again

lnstallation

Switch

the transmitter

oft, then open

the back and

place

it inverted on

the workbench.

The next step

withdraw the

battery cradle

Jrom the transmitter

case,

which is

now tacing

you.

Pull it upwards caretully,

holding

at both

ends

(see

Fig. 42).

Place the

reserve

battery

unit in the bottom

right-hand

corner,

over the

mounting eyes

provided

for it, and

retain it with the

screws

and eyelets supplied

(Fig.

43). Caution

make

sure

the eyelets are

the right way

round

(Fig.

44).

this,

please

refer to Fig.

46. First

pull

out the

bridging

plug

adjacent

to the

RF module; it is

no longer

needed.

A ribbon cable

supplied

in the set:

insert

one

ot the two

plugs

(either

will do) on

the ribbon cable

into the

vacant socket.

Now

bend

the ribbon cable

shown

in Fig. 47 and deploy

it as shown.

Insert the

plug

into the socket

on the reserve battery

unit.

It is not

possible

to connect this

with reversed

polarity,

but

please

refer to Fig. 47 in any case.

Select one

of the switch bays

(we

recommend bay

10),

cut away one

of the holes completely

and

install the

change-over

switch. Deploy the

connecting cable

lrom

the switch

to the battery as

shown in

Fig. 45. Take care

here, to avoid damaging

jamming

any ot the wires.

Once

you

have checked that

the wires are deployed

exactly

as shown

in Fig. 45, especially

where they run

around

the main battery,

and that

they cannot

get

tan-

gled,

replace the cradle

and

main battery

(the

lugs in

the

cradle must be connected

the mounting eyes

the casing).

Now

you

have to complete the

connection between

the

reserve

battery unit and the

transmitter electronics.
