Fleet Micro Series Advanced Battery Charging System Dual and Quad Instructional Manual

Introduction:

Thank you for your choice in purchasing a Core SWX Fleet Micro Charger. The charger is designed to provide you a safe and reliable charging platform for your battery packs. This product is at the pinnacle of technological advancements, offering the features and performance of several different products, making it the most advanced charging product in the industry.

Please read this manual to help understand and capitalize on the features of this charger.

Features:

• Complete battery management system for your battery packs
• On-board LCD to monitor the battery packs' smart battery data
  • TEST mode to determine battery health and recharge performance
• Micro USB for Firmware upgrades and communication to a PC battery management application (future release)
• SafeFly mode charges the connected packs to up to 30% or discharge to under 30% to meet safe Li-Ion battery shipment requirements
• Cross-compatible battery charging for RED®, Anton/Bauer®, IDX® and most Li-Ion battery packs*
  • 90w DC 4-pin XLR power supply to power most cameras.
• Battery Power Supply mode, parallels all the on-board battery packs to provide continuous power via XLR output

*contact Core SWX for confirmation of battery pack compatibility.

Operation:

• Insert included AC power cord to the rear of the unit and flip adjacent switch to ON(-)
• LCD will illuminate, initially displaying Title Screen and Firmware version. Immediately thereafter displaying FOUR empty charge positions
• Connect a battery pack to any of the charge positions. The charger addresses all packs independently and simultaneously, so it doesn't matter which bay a battery pack is connected to.
• Corresponding bay LED will flash RED to Green, until battery pack connected is fully analyzed. Once fully analyzed, and communicating with the charger, the charger will begin to charge.

Pressing the Select/OK Button when on the Home Screen toggles through the Battery pack data of each battery pack, in the order from Position 1 to Position 4, each time the Select/OK Button is pressed. Should the pack not be "smart," or not communicating data (only displaying voltage on Home Screen), the battery pack will be skipped over.

**This charger is cross-compatible amongst many brands of battery packs. Battery Name data is dependent on the battery pack manufacturer populating the battery name data field of the battery pack's storage. In the event it is not populated, the battery pack's name may not display, or may display inaccurately. The charger will only display the data supplied by the battery pack.

Battery Prioritizing:

As battery packs become fully charged, the Fleet Micro charger does a comparison of the packs to determine which pack has the least amount of battery cycles. This feature allows the operator to immediately know which pack to select from the charger, to keep the battery pack inventory in equal usage.

This is illustrated with brackets highlighting the <> charge status on the Home Screen below the corresponding battery. Only one battery pack will be highlighted when multiple are fully charged, unless multiple fully charged packs have the same cycle count. This feature is only available on “smart” battery packs. Any packs displaying just voltage, are not considered in the prioritizing.

Test Mode:

Fleet Micro chargers have a Test mode function which performs full charge-discharge-full charge routine, which will identify the capacity of the battery and indicate any performance issues, such as low battery voltage indicating a shorted cell or a cell imbalance condition.

Test times will vary based on battery condition and watt hour rating. For example, a 98wh pack will require 6-7 hours to complete the diagnostic test.

To initiate Test Mode, press the TEST Button on the Membrane Console when on the Battery Pack Data Screen of the desired pack you want to run a test on.

INITIATE TEST MODE FOR HCPRIMES PACK?

PRESS OK

To confirm, press the Select/OK Button to start TEST mode on the selected pack.

**You will have 5 seconds to press Select/OK to confirm Test mode. Should the TEST button be pressed inadvertently, the LCD will revert back to the Home Screen after the 5 second prompt.

SafeFly Mode:

Fleet Micro chargers have a SAFEFLY mode function which will either charge or discharge all connected packs or a selected pack, based on the battery packs state-of-charge(SOC), to 30% SOC. This 30% SOC level is to meet regulatory requirements for safe Lithium Ion battery pack air transport.

Times will vary based on battery condition and watt hour rating. For example, a fully charged 98wh pack will require 2 hours to discharge to 30% SAFEFLY status.

To initiate SAFEFLY Mode for ONE pack, press the SAFEFLY Button on the Membrane Console when on the Battery Pack Data Screen of the desired pack you want to put in SAFEFLY status.

DC Power Supply Function:

Fleet Micro chargers have an integrated 90w DC power supply built into the charger to power most equipment from AC mains.

To initiate Power Supply Mode, on the rear of the charger, next to the panel 4pin XLR, there is a toggle switch, that should be switched to the POWER SUPPLY position.

This will immediately discontinue any charge, discharge, TEST, or SAFEFLY function, and will provide 90w(16VDC) DC power to the XLR.
