PHANTOM BATTERY OVERSURGE

PROTECTION GUIDELINES

If a NEXUS battery is attached without first installing a Phantom battery, camera power will be supplied by the attached NEXUS battery. NOTE-Attaching a NEXUS

Battery without a Phantom battery will disable the light output. This will prevent power surge from the light output which would trigger the NEXUS protection circuit.

If the NEXUS protection circuit is triggered by a power surge, the NEXUS battery will need to be removed from the Phantom battery holder to reset the protection circuit.

The Phantom battery will absorb a power surge from the camera or light output. If a light above 50 watts is connected to the light output, the Phantom status LED will flash RED and ORANGE 30 seconds. The light output ( power tap) will also be shut off. This action will continue until the light over load is removed from the Phantom.

The system will assume that any battery that does not communicate with the Phantom mount is either NiCd or NiMh battery chemistry. Any battery other than the NEXUS Series will disable this system.
